Requirements

To fully leverage the capabilities of JsRates, a solid understanding of JavaScript is essential. This knowledge will empower you to customize and refine your shipping rules precisely to your business requirements. Additionally, ensure that third-party carrier-calculated shipping is activated in your Shopify plan, as it's necessary for applying JsRates at checkout. However, even without this feature, you can independently utilize the JsRates API to display rates on product and cart pages, keeping your customers informed from the start of their shopping journey.

Prerequisite Notice: Knowledge of JavaScript is essential to effectively utilize JsRates.

Carrier-Calculation Requirement: To apply JsRates at checkout, enable third-party carrier-calculated shipping on your Shopify plan. While this feature is a prerequisite for checkout usage, the JsRates API allows rate display on product and cart pages independently. For assistance in enabling carrier-calculated shipping, consult Shopify Support
