Prerequisites and Requirements

To use the Shipit Shopify app, a Shipit account is required. However, you can easily create one during the app configuration process in Shopify after installation. This ensures a seamless setup experience and enables you to utilize the app's features right away.

Shopify Plan Requirements

The Shipit app is designed to work with any Shopify plan, ensuring that no matter your subscription level, you can enjoy the benefits of efficient shipping management without needing a special plan.

Please note that Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) are required for these features to function properly. Although activation of this feature is free, merchants on a standard Shopify plan will need to switch to annual billing to get it at no extra charge, otherwise it costs $20 per month. After switching to annual billing, you'll also need to contact Shopify support to activate CCS. Once confirmed, it may take up to 48 hours for CCS to function properly. Merchants using Shopify Advanced or Plus plans already have this feature. For more information about CCS, please click here. For any questions, please contact the Shopify support team.
