High Voltage Coffee Tea review for Parcelify: Shipping Rates
Oct. 21, 2017
I was really happy to come across this app. I offer free personal hand-delivery to customers that live in the 3-county Capital Region of my state where 99% of my business is advertised to. The only way for me to offer that option is to put the details on the shopping options list. But if a customer from outside the area (ie: anywhere else in the Country) orders from my store, there is nothing stopping them from choosing free shipping - which comes directly out of my profits. Unfortunately, this app is only for Advanced Shopify plans. My store is not busy enough yet to justify upgrading so unfortunately I cannot use this app.
That is not entirely accurate, though we share your frustration. For Parcelify to work we need the details of the order, those details get shared through the Carrier Service API. Without that we don't get the details of the order and can't calculate rates. There are 3 ways to get the Carrier Service API: 1) Advanced Plan- The Carrier API is included by default. 2) If you change your billing on your plan to annual billing you get access to the Carrier Service API 3) You can pay for it directly to Shopify. For more information about how to get the Carrier Service API please contact [email protected] We too wish it was available by default to all merchants regardless of their plan. :(
