Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureUnexpected shipping costs cause abandoned carts. Shopify’s default rate-stacking for multi-location orders and mixed shipping profiles (e.g., standard + heavy) creates sticker shock for buyers. FixShip prevents this double-charging by consolidating split checkout rates into a single, fair fee. It protects your conversions while allowing you to use custom messaging to set accurate delivery expectations.
When an order ships from more than one location, Shopify adds each location's app and carrier rates together, so a split cart can be charged shipping twice. Mergerate is a carrier service: it charges your own rates on one shipment and returns the same options at $0 on the others, with a label you choose. Set flat prices, countries and delivery estimates; it works best with flat rates.
