How it sells itself

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.

Ship Split helps merchants split multi-vendor carts into separate Shopify Shipping Profile groups using native Shopify settings. Customers can see applicable shipping rates at checkout and understand when items may ship in separate packages.

Key points
  • Split-cart rate requests answered as one shipping charge per order
  • Your own flat rates, by country, with delivery estimates
  • The same options at $0 on the other shipments, labelled
  • Delivery estimates and your own label on the $0 shipments
  • Split carts by vendor, supplier, or fulfillment source
  • Use native Shopify Shipping Profiles for setup
  • Show profile-based shipping rates for mixed carts
  • Review product assignments and spot setup gaps
