Carrier-Calculated Shipping Setup for FedEx – Shopify Ship, Rate, and Track for FedEx FAQs

    Shopify-carrier-calculated-shipping-setup-for-fedex-faqs

Questions in this section:

After enabling Carrier Calculated Shipping in Shopify, how do I configure the specific FedEx services to show at checkout using the PluginHive app?

To configure FedEx services in the PluginHive app after enabling CCS: 1. Open your Shopify admin and go to the PluginHive app. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Rate Settings**. 3. Click **Edit Carrier Services**. 4. Select or deselect the specific FedEx shipping services you want displayed to customers at checkout. 5. Save your settings to apply the changes. This customization allows you to control which FedEx shipping options customers see when purchasing.

Am I eligible to use PluginHive’s FedEx integration on a monthly Shopify plan, or do I have to pay for a yearly plan to access Carrier Calculated Shipping rates at checkout?

Eligibility to show Carrier Calculated Shipping rates at checkout depends on Shopify’s own plan features. The Carrier Calculated Shipping option is a Shopify plan setting, not managed by PluginHive. If your Shopify monthly plan does not include this feature, you will need to contact Shopify support directly to inquire whether you need to upgrade your plan or pay for an annual subscription to enable Carrier Calculated Shipping. PluginHive does not control Shopify plan features; they only integrate FedEx rates once the feature is available on your Shopify store. For precise guidance and plan details, reach out to Shopify customer support.

Are there charges for scheduling FedEx pickups through the PluginHive app?

You can add your FedEx account within the PluginHive app to enable features such as displaying FedEx-calculated shipping rates at checkout (provided the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature is enabled on your store), generating shipping labels, requesting pickups, and sharing tracking information. After generating shipping labels for your orders, you can request FedEx pickups directly through the app. Generally, you are not charged by PluginHive for scheduling FedEx pickups, but any applicable pickup charges depend on the terms and settings of your individual FedEx account. It is advisable to verify your FedEx account settings or contact FedEx support if you want precise details about pickup charges.

Can customers use FedEx shipping and see FedEx shipping rates during checkout in Shopify using PluginHive?

Yes, customers can see calculated FedEx shipping rates at Shopify checkout through the PluginHive app, provided the following condition is met: – Your Shopify store must have the **Carrier Calculated Shipping** feature enabled, which allows third-party apps to display real-time shipping rates on the checkout page. If you do not have this feature enabled, you can contact Shopify support to request activation. Without this, the app will still let you generate FedEx shipping labels and send live tracking updates to customers, but shipping rates won’t be displayed automatically at checkout.

Can I add a fallback estimated time of arrival (ETA) in the app in case the FedEx API does not supply ETA?

The app does not support adding a fallback ETA if the FedEx API fails to provide one. However, as a workaround, you can rename the FedEx carrier service names displayed to customers by configuring them in the app settings. To do this: 1. Go to App Settings. 2. Navigate to Rate Settings. 3. Select Carrier Services. 4. Rename the FedEx service names to something that reflects your preferred messaging or fallback timeframe. This allows customizing the carrier service labels but does not add an ETA fallback mechanism.

Can I add a fixed additional amount to shipping rates using PluginHive FedEx apps, and how does this compare to Shopify’s native capabilities?

Yes, both PluginHive FedEx apps allow you to add a fixed amount to the shipping rates. However, this feature is also available in Shopify’s native shipping settings. You can choose either Shopify’s own shipping adjustment capabilities or utilize the PluginHive app’s functionalities based on your business requirements.

Can I add a fixed amount based on a percentage of the order subtotal to the FedEx shipping cost using the PluginHive app?

Currently, the app allows adjustments to FedEx shipping costs only as a flat amount or as a percentage based on the shipping cost itself. It does not support adding an amount calculated as a percentage of the order subtotal to the shipping charge. For example, if your subtotal is $315,000 and 6% of that is $18,900, you cannot automatically add that $18,900 to the existing FedEx shipping charge through the app. You would need to apply such adjustments outside the app or through Shopify’s pricing tools.

Can I customize the estimated delivery times that are automatically calculated and displayed by the PluginHive FedEx shipping integration?

Direct modification of the calculated estimated delivery times provided by FedEx and displayed by PluginHive is not supported. These times are dynamically fetched and cannot be edited within the app. However, you can: 1. Use the **buffer time** feature to add additional hours to the estimated delivery times: – Go to **App → Settings → Rates Settings**. – Configure the buffer time (in hours) to extend the estimated delivery duration. 2. Customize the **display names** of FedEx shipping services to include general delivery time estimates or messages. For example, rename “FedEx Ground” to “FedEx Ground (2–3 Business Days)”. Steps to rename: – Navigate to **App → Settings → Edit Carrier Services**. – Locate the FedEx service and update the “Display Name” field with your custom text. This approach allows you to communicate delivery timing expectations without editing the underlying FedEx estimates.

Can I display FedEx shipping rates at checkout using the PH Ship Rate app on the Shopify Basic plan without upgrading to Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS)?

No, displaying live FedEx shipping rates at checkout through any Shopify shipping app, including the PH Ship Rate app, requires the Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) feature to be enabled on your Shopify store. This limitation is imposed by Shopify and not by the PluginHive app. Shopify Basic and some other plans do not include CCS by default, so you would need to upgrade your Shopify plan or pay an additional fee to enable this feature. Without CCS enabled, you cannot show live carrier-calculated rates at checkout, but you can still use the PH Ship Rate app to generate shipping labels and send live tracking updates to your customers after the order is placed.

Can I get live FedEx shipping rates at checkout on the Shopify Basic plan using the 'PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx' app, or do I need to upgrade to a higher Shopify plan?

To display live FedEx shipping rates at checkout using the PH Ship Rate & Track app, you must upgrade from the Shopify Basic plan to the next higher Shopify plan that includes the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature. This upgrade is required by Shopify’s platform policies, not a limitation of the app itself. Once your store has the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature enabled, the app can fetch and show live FedEx rates during checkout. Additional requirements and features of the app include: – You must have an active FedEx account and connect it within the app to retrieve rates, generate shipping labels, request pickups, and track shipments. – The app offers a 14-day free trial to evaluate its capabilities for your business. – After installation, you can request an onboarding session via Zoom to help set up and optimize the app usage. For more information and to start with the free trial, visit the product page: https://www.pluginhive.com/product/shopify-fedex-shipping-app-with-print-label-tracking/

Can I restrict or select specific shipping methods based on a customer's zip code within the PluginHive app?

Currently, the PluginHive app does not support configuring shipping method visibility or selection rules based on zip codes. Therefore, you cannot limit shipping options like overnight express only for certain states or zip code ranges within the app. If you need further assistance exploring alternative solutions, please contact support.

Can I restrict shipping options to only freight services for products in a specific shipping group?

Shopify does not support offering only specific FedEx services based on a shipping profile or product group. However, you can enable the 'Future Services' option by activating any regular FedEx service (e.g., FedEx 2Day AM) to see if that helps display freight-related services. Currently, there is no way to exclusively restrict checkout options to freight services only.

Can I still generate FedEx shipping labels if I am on the Basic Shopify plan without 'Carrier Calculated Shipping'?

Yes, you can still use the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app on the Basic Shopify plan to generate FedEx shipping labels, request pickups, and share tracking details manually. The only restriction on the Basic plan is that calculated shipping rates will not show at checkout.

Can I use PluginHive to generate FedEx shipping labels and provide order tracking on the Shopify Basic plan even without live rates at checkout?

Yes. Even on the Basic Shopify plan where carrier calculated shipping is not enabled, you can configure your FedEx account within PluginHive. This allows you to: – Generate FedEx shipping labels directly from the app. – Send live FedEx tracking updates automatically to your customers. This functionality works independently of checkout shipping rate calculations and can help streamline your fulfillment process despite the Basic plan’s limitations.

Can I use the monthly Shopify plan to get live FedEx shipping rates at checkout with PluginHive?

The Carrier Calculated Shipping feature required for displaying live FedEx rates at checkout is generally available only on Shopify’s yearly subscription plans or higher (e.g., Shopify Advanced). Monthly Shopify plans typically do not include this feature by default. To enable Carrier Calculated Shipping on a monthly plan, you must contact Shopify Support to request activation of this feature for your store’s specific plan. Keep in mind this is controlled by Shopify, and PluginHive apps rely on this feature to retrieve live rates at checkout. If Carrier Calculated Shipping is not enabled, live FedEx rates will not display during checkout on monthly plans.

Can I use the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app on my Shopify store if I am based in the UK?

Yes, the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app can be used on Shopify stores based in any country, including the UK. To use it for shipping Shopify orders from the UK, you must have a UK-based FedEx account, which you can link within the app. The app allows you to: 1. Show FedEx calculated shipping rates at checkout (if the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature is enabled on your store). 2. Generate FedEx shipping labels directly. 3. Request FedEx pickups. 4. Share shipment tracking details with your customers. The app offers a 15-day free trial so you can test these features before committing. After installation and adding your FedEx account, you can request further assistance or a setup walkthrough via a Zoom call if needed.

Can I use the PluginHive app to display only shipping rates at checkout without generating pick-up requests, labels, or tracking?

Yes, the PluginHive app allows you to display FedEx-calculated shipping rates at your store’s checkout without requiring you to use any other features like pick-up scheduling, label generation, or shipment tracking. You can simply configure the app to show rates only and skip all additional fulfillment functions. If in the future you want to enable those features, they are available, but using the app solely for rate display is fully supported.

Can I use the PluginHive app to generate FedEx shipping labels and provide tracking even if Carrier Calculated Shipping is not enabled on Shopify?

Yes, even if the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature is not enabled in your Shopify store, you can still use the PluginHive app to generate FedEx shipping labels and send live tracking updates to your customers. The only limitation without this feature is that live FedEx shipping rates will not be shown at checkout. This allows you to manage shipments and customer notifications efficiently while working within Shopify’s constraints.

Can I use the PluginHive app with the Shopify Basic plan, and do I need to enable Carrier Calculated Shipping Rates to display live shipping rates?

Yes, the PluginHive app is fully compatible with all Shopify plans, including the Basic plan. You can use the app to generate shipping labels and send live tracking updates regardless of your Shopify plan. However, if you want to display live shipping rates from any Shopify app, including PluginHive, your Shopify store must have the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature enabled. This feature is a Shopify-level requirement and not a limitation of the PluginHive app. Carrier Calculated Shipping Rates may require upgrading your Shopify plan or purchasing the add-on from Shopify. If you need help enabling this feature or using the app, you can contact PluginHive support for assistance.

Can PluginHive help show both FedEx 2-day shipping and FedEx Ground shipping options on my Shopify checkout?

Currently, the capability to show both FedEx 2-day shipping and FedEx Ground shipping options simultaneously through the PluginHive app is under development. This enhancement depends on the integration of FedEx REST APIs, for which PluginHive has applied and is awaiting FedEx certification. Once certified, PluginHive will release this feature that enables displaying multiple FedEx shipping services together. Although the exact rollout timing depends on FedEx certification, the process is underway. You can monitor PluginHive updates or reach out to support for progress inquiries.

Can the PluginHive app for FedEx shipping work on the Shopify Basic plan, or is the Shopify Grow plan required?

The PluginHive app can be fully used on any Shopify plan, including the Basic Shopify plan, to generate FedEx shipping labels, request pickups, and share tracking details. However, if you want to display calculated FedEx shipping rates at checkout through the app, your store must have the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" feature enabled. This feature is generally not available on the Basic Shopify plan by default. To enable this feature: 1. Contact the Shopify support team and request that they enable "Carrier Calculated Shipping" for your store. 2. Once enabled, you will be able to show calculated FedEx rates on the checkout page using the PluginHive app, regardless of your Shopify plan.

Can the PluginHive Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app provide live FedEx shipping rates at checkout without the Shopify Carrier-Calculated Shipping (CCS) add-on enabled?

No, the Shopify Carrier-Calculated Shipping (CCS) add-on is mandatory for apps installed from the Shopify App Store, including the PluginHive Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app, to display live calculated shipping rates at checkout. Therefore, you must keep the CCS add-on enabled to continue receiving live FedEx shipping rates during checkout. Deactivating CCS will disable this functionality.

Can the PluginHive Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app be configured to show conditional shipping options based on order price and weight using USPS and UPS shipping methods?

No, the PluginHive Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app is specifically designed only for FedEx shipping and does not support setting conditional shipping rules or integrating USPS or UPS accounts. It cannot display different shipping options based on order price or weight or combine multiple carriers under customized conditions.

Can the PluginHive Shopify app provide FedEx tax and duties estimates for shipments to Jamaica?

Currently, the FedEx tax and duties estimation feature is not available for shipments to Jamaica because Jamaica is not on FedEx’s supported list for tax and duties estimates. Additionally, FedEx does not allow tax and duties estimates to be integrated into third-party apps like the PluginHive Shopify app. This limitation is imposed by FedEx and cannot be overridden or changed from the app side. Therefore, tax and duties estimates for Jamaica shipments cannot be provided through the app at this time. Users should consider alternative options for handling duties or shipping rules until FedEx expands their coverage.

Could downgrading my Shopify plan cause FedEx shipping rates to stop appearing at checkout?

Yes, if you have recently downgraded your Shopify plan, it may affect whether carrier-calculated shipping rates, like FedEx, display at checkout. The 'Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS)' feature required for third-party shipping rate calculations must be active on your Shopify store. Before uninstalling or troubleshooting further: 1. Confirm with Shopify support that your current plan includes the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature. 2. If your plan does not support CCS, shipping rates from FedEx will not show during checkout regardless of app settings. Ensuring this feature is active is crucial for FedEx rates to function properly in your checkout flow.

Did PluginHive make any adjustments to the Canetti Design Group site to resolve the limited FedEx shipping options issue?

No adjustments or changes were made by PluginHive to the Canetti Design Group website or PluginHive settings. The system appears to have started displaying all available shipping options without requiring interventions from PluginHive’s end. If the issue recurs or further support is needed, contacting PluginHive support for assistance is recommended.

Do I need to upgrade to Shopify Advanced plan for carrier-calculated shipping rates to work with PluginHive?

No, an upgrade to the Shopify Advanced plan is not required specifically for PluginHive to work. The crucial requirement is that the "Carrier Calculated Rates" feature must be enabled on your Shopify plan. You can contact Shopify Support to enable carrier-calculated rates on your current plan without upgrading.

Do we have to upgrade our Shopify plan to use the PluginHive app and display FedEx live shipping rates at checkout?

Yes, to display live carrier-calculated shipping rates at checkout through PluginHive or any other app, you must enable the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature in your Shopify store. This feature is typically available only on certain Shopify plans or can be added as an additional feature by contacting Shopify support. Without enabling this, the app cannot show live FedEx shipping rates during checkout. This limitation is imposed by Shopify's platform, not by the PluginHive app. To enable this feature, reach out to Shopify support if it is not already available in your plan.

Does FedEx’s administrative import duties and taxes get included in the checkout shipping rates via the app, and can I pass these fees fully to the customer?

The administrative import duties and taxes charged by FedEx vary by destination and are typically returned via the FedEx API. However, these administrative fees are generally not included in the shipping rates calculated by the app during checkout because they are added separately by FedEx during import processing. To cover these fees and recover the total cost, you can: – Manually add an additional handling or surcharge to FedEx shipping services within the app. – This can be done by going to App Settings -> Rate Settings -> Carrier Service and entering an amount in the "Adjustment Value" field. This manual adjustment allows you to increase the shipping charge passed to customers to cover any additional FedEx administrative fees.

Does PluginHive Shipping app block or prevent shipping options created in Shopify Settings or other apps from showing at checkout?

No, the PluginHive Shipping app does not block or prevent any shipping options created directly in Shopify Settings or by other apps from appearing at checkout. It only displays the FedEx shipping rates it fetches. All other shipping methods configured in Shopify or other apps should still appear at checkout if they are enabled and configured correctly. If a shipping option is missing, the issue is likely due to Shopify settings or other app configurations, not PluginHive blocking them.

Does PluginHive support offering 2-day and Overnight shipping options, and how can I control which shipping services appear at checkout?

Yes, PluginHive supports offering multiple shipping services such as 2-day and Overnight shipping. To control which services are displayed at checkout, follow these steps: 1. Open the PluginHive app in your Shopify admin. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Rates Settings**. 3. Click **Edit Carrier Services**. 4. Disable any shipping services you do not want to display on the checkout page. Only the enabled services will appear to customers during checkout.

Does the "PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx" plugin support all Shopify plans, including the basic Shopify plan, for integration with a FedEx account to enable carrier shipping rates at checkout?

The "PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx" app is compatible with all Shopify plans. However, to display calculated FedEx shipping rates directly at checkout using this app, your Shopify store must have the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature enabled. This feature is generally not available on the Basic Shopify plan or some selected lower-tier plans. Without this feature, you cannot show live FedEx rates at checkout, but you can still use the app to generate shipping labels, request FedEx carrier pickups, and share tracking details. If you have a FedEx account, you can install the app, connect your FedEx account within the app, and begin using these functionalities regardless of your Shopify plan. For assistance with app setup, you can contact support to schedule a Zoom call for guided help.

Does the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app display FedEx pricing on the front end (Cart and Checkout page), or is it only for backend order fulfillment?

The PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app shows live FedEx shipping rates on the checkout page, allowing customers to see accurate shipping costs before purchase. It also supports backend order fulfillment integration. To enable live rates at checkout, you must have the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature enabled in your Shopify admin by navigating to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery** and activating this option. Without enabling this feature, live FedEx rates will not be displayed on the frontend.

Does the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app work with the Shopify Basic plan, or is it only compatible with Shopify, Advanced, and Shopify Plus plans?

The PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app works with all Shopify plans, including the Basic plan. However, to show live FedEx shipping rates at checkout through the app, you must have the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" (CCS) feature enabled in your Shopify settings. This feature is only available if your Shopify plan supports it. Regardless of the plan, you can generate shipping labels through the app on any Shopify plan.

Does the PluginHive app allow setting rules to restrict FedEx shipping services based on the products in the cart, such as allowing only Ground shipping for batteries that cannot be shipped by air?

The PluginHive app supports setting different shipping profiles for each product category and configuring shipping rates with your preferred FedEx services. However, due to current limitations within Shopify settings, sometimes only a generic "Future Services" option is displayed instead of individual FedEx service options. When this occurs, the available FedEx services will show collectively to customers without the ability to restrict or filter specific FedEx services based on the products in the cart. Therefore, implementing product-level shipping service restrictions (e.g., limiting batteries to Ground shipping only) is currently not possible using this app.

Does the PluginHive app require Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) to display live shipping rates at checkout?

Yes, to display live rates for carriers like FedEx using the PluginHive app, the Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) feature must be enabled in your Shopify store. This is a Shopify-imposed requirement, not a limitation of the app itself. Without CCS enabled, live shipping rates cannot be shown at checkout via the app.

How are shipping options ordered on the Shopify checkout page, and can I customize the order?

Shopify automatically sorts shipping options on the checkout page primarily by shipping cost, typically showing the lowest cost option first. This sorting logic is controlled by Shopify and is not adjustable through PluginHive settings. For more details or customization options, you will need to consult Shopify support or documentation. PluginHive integrates with Shopify’s checkout display but does not control shipping options order.

How can I adjust FedEx shipping rates globally, either increasing or decreasing the rates?

To apply a global rate adjustment to FedEx shipping services, follow these steps: 1. Go to the app dashboard and navigate to **Settings**. 2. Select **Edit Carrier Services** from the options. 3. Here you can specify a rate adjustment for FedEx services by entering either a fixed amount (e.g., +$2 or -$1) or a percentage-based adjustment (e.g., +10% or -5%). 4. Save your changes to apply the adjustment across all FedEx shipping rates displayed to customers. This allows you to fine-tune shipping costs shown at checkout to better align with your pricing strategy.

How can I apply a $400 discount on freight shipping per pallet purchased?

Since the PluginHive app does not support direct shipping discounts by product or pallet within its shipping settings, you can use Shopify’s native discount features to achieve this: 1. Create a **product-specific discount coupon** in Shopify that applies a $400 discount per pallet product or bundle. 2. Customers can apply this coupon at checkout to get the freight shipping discount. 3. Alternatively, configure Shopify’s shipping rules or carrier-calculated shipping rates to account for these discounts via manual shipping profiles if your plan supports it. This approach allows you to effectively apply freight shipping discounts tied to pallet purchase quantities.

How can I apply a percentage adjustment (e.g., 10%) to shipping rates displayed to customers?

To adjust shipping rates by a certain percentage using PluginHive: 1. Access the shipping rules configuration within the PluginHive app dashboard. 2. Create or edit a shipping rule to include a rate adjustment. 3. Specify the adjustment as a percentage value (for example, add 10%) that will be applied on top of the calculated shipping rates. 4. Save and publish the changes. This allows you to display adjusted shipping costs to customers at checkout, aligning pricing with your business needs.

How can I check the source and details of FedEx shipping rates generated by the PluginHive app for draft orders?

You can review the shipping rates and their source in the Shopify order JSON data: 1. Look for the `shipping_lines` array in the order JSON, which includes fields such as `carrier_identifier`, `code`, `title`, and pricing information. 2. The `source` field indicates the origin of the shipping rates, such as `"Fedex Rates Service"`. 3. Access rate logs in the PluginHive app for detailed history and troubleshooting (e.g., rate request IDs). 4. Use these details when reporting issues to PluginHive support for more efficient problem resolution.

How can I configure FedEx shipping rates in my Shopify store using PluginHive?

To configure and display live FedEx shipping rates at checkout via PluginHive, you must ensure your Shopify store meets certain plan requirements: 1. Your Shopify store must be on a plan that includes the **Carrier Calculated Shipping** feature. This feature is mandatory for showing real-time FedEx shipping rates at checkout and is controlled by Shopify, not the PluginHive app. 2. If you are currently on the **Basic Shopify plan**, this feature is not included by default. You will need to upgrade your Shopify plan or request Shopify support to enable Carrier Calculated Shipping for your store. 3. Once your store has this feature enabled, you can connect your FedEx account in PluginHive and live shipping rates will be displayed to customers during checkout. 4. Until then, on the Basic plan, PluginHive still supports FedEx label generation, pickup requests, and order tracking, but live shipping rates cannot be shown at checkout. Therefore, contact Shopify support to upgrade your plan or enable Carrier Calculated Shipping, then proceed to configure FedEx rates in the PluginHive app accordingly.

How can I configure the PluginHive FedEx shipping options to show only FedEx Express 2 Day and exclude the 2 Day AM service to prevent accidental selection and price differences?

To restrict FedEx shipping options to only "FedEx Express 2 Day" while excluding "2 Day AM," follow these steps: 1. Log in to your PluginHive shipping settings or the relevant carrier configuration section in your store's admin panel. 2. Locate the FedEx shipping services list or the XML/API configuration that defines which FedEx services are available during checkout. 3. Identify the shipping service codes: include the code representing "FedEx Express 2 Day" (often labeled as “FEDEX_EXPRESS_2DAY”) and explicitly remove or exclude any codes for "FedEx 2 Day AM" or similar services. 4. If your system uses XML or API requests to fetch shipping services, modify the shipment request payload to specify only the allowed service type, e.g., `"ServiceType": "FEDEX_EXPRESS_2DAY"`. 5. Save your changes and perform test checkouts to ensure that only FedEx Express 2 Day appears as a shipping option and that "2 Day AM" is no longer selectable. By configuring your PluginHive or store settings in this way, you prevent accidental selection of the FedEx 2 Day AM service and avoid significant unintended price differences during checkout.

How can I connect my FedEx account to the Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) feature in Shopify, and what should I do if I encounter errors during the connection process?

To connect your FedEx account to the CCS feature in Shopify, follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have a valid FedEx account with all necessary credentials. 2. In your Shopify admin, navigate to the Shipping settings and enable Carrier Calculated Shipping. 3. When prompted, enter your FedEx account details accurately. 4. If you encounter an error during this process: – Do **not** share your FedEx credentials with support agents for security reasons. – Take a screenshot of the error message for reference. – Confirm that CCS is enabled in your Shopify settings. – Retry entering the FedEx account details in real-time to capture the error again if needed. – Contact Shopify Support or the app developer for assistance, providing the screenshots and details of the error. 5. If the error persists, Shopify Support will coordinate with FedEx on your behalf to identify if the issue lies with the FedEx account or Shopify's system. 6. You will receive follow-up communication and troubleshooting updates via email after initial chat support.

How can I connect my FedEx account to the PluginHive app to enable carrier shipping rates on my Shopify store?

Provide your FedEx production details (Company Name, Account Number, Meter Number, Authentication Key, Password) within the app setup. 2. Verify the connection status in the PluginHive app dashboard—once connected, the FedEx account and carrier-calculated shipping feature will be registered automatically. 3. Test the integration by placing a test order on your Shopify website to confirm that FedEx shipping rates are being calculated correctly. 4. Ensure your Shopify store is publicly accessible (not password-protected) while testing, as password protection can block the order test process. If you face any issues, you can schedule a support call with PluginHive to get step-by-step assistance for your setup.

How can I connect PluginHive shipping rates to the Shopify customer checkout page?

To display calculated shipping rates during the Shopify checkout using PluginHive or similar apps, your Shopify store must have the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature enabled. This is a Shopify requirement and not a limitation of the app itself.

Once enabled, shipping rates from the app will appear at checkout. However, even without this feature enabled, you can still use the app to generate shipping labels, schedule pickups, and share tracking details within your store.

How can I disable the estimated delivery days information that the PluginHive app shows alongside my own estimated time on shipping names?

To disable the estimated delivery days displayed by the PluginHive app for UPS or other carriers, follow these steps: 1. Open the PluginHive Multi Carrier app in your Shopify admin. 2. Navigate to **App Settings** -> **General Settings** -> **Shipping**. 3. Locate the option labeled **Estimated Delivery At Checkout**. 4. Uncheck or toggle off this option to disable the additional estimated delivery date display. 5. Click **Save** to apply the changes. 6.

How can I display live FedEx shipping rates on the Shopify checkout using the PluginHive FedEx app?

To display live FedEx shipping rates at the Shopify checkout using the PluginHive FedEx app, you must enable Shopify’s "Carrier Calculated Shipping" feature on your store. Important points to consider: 1. This feature is required by Shopify to fetch live carrier rates and is not a limitation of the PluginHive app. 2.

To ensure your shipping labels show the correct origin address when using dropshipping in PluginHive, follow these steps: 1.

During label creation, verify that the "From" address printed on the shipping label matches the dropshipper’s address exactly. 3. You can confirm this by generating a test label and reviewing the printed address. 4.

How can I identify if the FedEx rates displayed at checkout are from Shopify’s built-in Carrier Calculated Shipping or from PluginHive’s FedEx Rates Service app?

Shopify’s built-in FedEx carrier services and PluginHive’s FedEx Rates Service app may appear similarly in the Shipping Profile under names like “FedEx Rates Service (Rates provided by app).” However, to differentiate: 1. PluginHive app rates are fetched via its own API integration and visible in the app’s Rates Log with detailed API request and response information. 2. Shopify’s built-in FedEx rates are managed directly within Shopify and will not appear in the PluginHive app’s logging or settings. 3. Checking shipping rates at checkout in test mode and reviewing the app’s Rate Logs will confirm if the PluginHive app is actively fetching the FedEx rates or not. If you see no entries or errors in the PluginHive Rate Logs, then the displayed rates are likely Shopify’s default carrier rates, not PluginHive’s.

Install the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app on your Shopify store. 2. Add your FedEx account credentials within the app settings to connect your negotiated account. 3.

Once connected, the app will fetch your negotiated FedEx rates and show them to customers at checkout in real time. 5. You can also use the app to generate FedEx shipping labels, create pickup requests, and track shipments.

How can I integrate the PluginHive app extension into a slide cart if it only appears on the cart page and not inside the slide cart?

The PluginHive app extension appears when Shopify requests a rate quote, and this typically happens on the cart or checkout pages. Shopify may not support calculated shipping rates or app extensions within slide carts, which is likely why the extension does not show inside your slide cart. To address this: 1. Verify if Shopify allows calculated shipping rates or app extensions to appear in your slide cart implementation. 2. If unsupported, configure your store to display calculated shipping rates or shipping options on the main cart page or the checkout page instead. 3.

To limit shipping options to only FedEx Express 2 Day and exclude 2 Day AM, follow these steps: 1. Access your shipping settings or the carrier configuration in your plugin or store admin panel. 2. Locate the FedEx shipping service options or the XML configuration that defines available services. 3. Modify the shipping service codes to include only the “FedEx Express 2 Day” code and exclude “2 Day AM” or similar codes that represent FedEx 2 Day AM. 4. If your system uses order XML or API requests, ensure the shipment request specifies only the “FEDEX_EXPRESS_2DAY” service type or equivalent. 5. Save the configuration and test the checkout process to confirm that only FedEx Express 2 Day is available as a shipping option. By restricting the available FedEx shipping services in the configuration or XML, you can prevent accidental selection of the more expensive 2 Day AM option and avoid unexpected price differences.

How can I resolve the “Carrier-calculated shipping (CCS) registration failed” error when using the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app on the Basic Shopify plan?

The “Carrier-calculated shipping (CCS) registration failed” error occurs because Carrier-Calculated Shipping is only available on Shopify plans that support this feature (usually Advanced Shopify or higher). The Basic Shopify plan does not include CCS by default, so simply subscribing to the PluginHive app is not sufficient. To enable CCS, you must either: 1. Upgrade your Shopify plan to one that includes Carrier-Calculated Shipping (Advanced or Shopify Plus), or 2. Contact Shopify Support to request a Carrier-Calculated Shipping add-on for your current plan, which might involve an additional monthly charge.

Ensure your warehouse location and return addresses are correctly set in the app and Shopify store. 5. Check your FedEx service preferences like enabling only specific shipping services (e.g., Commercial FedEx Ground) and address validation settings. For example, disabling address classification and showing only certain services can help standardize rate display. 6. Test checkout shipping rates and verify they match FedEx account estimates. 7. For any discrepancies, review the packaging, product details, and FedEx account configurations within PluginHive.

How can I set up live shipping rates from FedEx through the PluginHive app on my Shopify store?

To display live FedEx shipping rates at checkout using the PluginHive app on Shopify, you need to ensure that your Shopify store has Carrier Calculated Rates (CCR) enabled. CCR is a Shopify feature available on higher-tier plans or as an add-on to certain plans. Without CCR enabled, live shipping rates from FedEx cannot be shown at checkout. The steps are: 1. Verify your current Shopify plan does not include Carrier Calculated Rates. 2. Upgrade your Shopify plan or purchase the Carrier Calculated Rates add-on from Shopify to enable this feature. 3. Once CCR is enabled, configure FedEx settings within the PluginHive app to fetch and display live FedEx rates during checkout. 4.

How can I set up shipping times to reflect that my shipments start from 5 business days instead of showing faster delivery times on checkout?

Shipping times shown at checkout are based on carrier-calculated delivery estimates using shipment origin and destination details. For example, FedEx automatically calculates the estimated delivery date, which may display as next-day delivery if applicable. To align the display with your actual shipping policy (e.g., shipping within 5 business days): 1. Note that carrier-calculated times cannot be manually extended in the app since they reflect real-time carrier data. 2. If you want to prevent customers from seeing the estimated delivery date at checkout altogether, go to the PluginHive app dashboard. 3. Navigate to **Settings > Rates Settings** and locate the **Carrier Services** section. 4. Disable the **Display Estimated Delivery** option. This will remove the estimated delivery time from the checkout page, preventing confusion. 5. Alternatively, explicitly communicate your shipping policy (such as “We ship within 5 business days”) on your storefront and order confirmation emails. This approach ensures checkout times either reflect actual carrier estimates or don’t display estimated delivery, aligning customer expectations with your shipping policy.

How can I set up the PluginHive app to display the correct FedEx shipping rates?

Confirm that the shipping origin address configured in the app matches your FedEx account location. 3. Check if the Carrier Contract Rates (CCR) option is enabled and properly set up, as rates may not show without CCR activation for FedEx. 4. Review the rate display settings to ensure that carrier rates are allowed to be shown and that any rate filters or shipping rules do not block FedEx rates. 5. If you encounter issues, use the app’s diagnostics or troubleshoot tools to verify connection and account status with FedEx. 6. For personalized assistance, consider reaching out to PluginHive support or scheduling a consultation to walk through your setup.

Check the enabled box settings to ensure all cartons are enabled and counted during rate calculation. 3. Recreate the test order exactly in the app environment to verify the rate calculation process. 4. Verify that the checkout is rendering shipping options from the Ship, Rate, Track app and not default Shopify rates or other shipping apps. 5. Clear any cached shipping rates or cookies in the browser to ensure fresh rate data is retrieved. 6. If discrepancies persist, review Shopify’s shipping settings to identify any overrides or adjustments affecting rates. 7. Compare shipping logs and checkout options carefully; occasionally, minor adjustments (e.g., $2) may appear due to Shopify’s own calculations. Following these steps ensures checkout shipping costs match the expected rates for multiple cartons as calculated by the app.

Ensure you have published shipping methods and rates for the relevant destination countries. 5. Test on a fresh order with international shipping address to validate rate fetching. 6. If using carrier-calculated rates for international, confirm no conflicts with Shopify flat rates or discount apps that may hide rates. 7. If the issue persists, escalate to PluginHive support and Shopify, sharing screenshots and details for further diagnosis.

How can I verify and understand the shipping rates calculated by PluginHive’s app when FedEx OneRate is activated?

When FedEx OneRate is activated, the app calculates shipping rates during checkout based on special FedEx OneRate packaging options corresponding to your product’s dimensions and packaging profiles. To verify these rates: 1. Access the Rates Log within the PluginHive app. 2. Review details such as the package type selected, whether FedEx OneRate special services were applied, and the exact shipping rates quoted. 3.

How can I verify if fallback shipping rates are influencing the displayed shipping cost?

To verify if fallback shipping rates are influencing the displayed cost, perform the following: 1. **Check Fallback Rate Settings:** Review your shipping app settings for the fallback rate, which is often a predetermined default cost applied if carrier rates fail to return. 2. **Confirm High Fallback Rate Value:** Ensure the fallback rate is set substantially higher than typical shipping costs (e.g., $400) so that visible rates are likely carrier rates rather than fallback. 3. **Review Shipping Rate Logs:** Analyze rate logs to confirm that rates are being returned from carriers rather than fallback rates. 4. **Test with Multiple Orders:** Compare shipping costs on various test orders to observe if fallback rates are applied inconsistently. By confirming a high fallback rate and reviewing logs, you can be confident that the displayed shipping charges are carrier-generated and not fallback defaults.

The `source` field should show entries like `"Fedex Rates Service"`, confirming the rates came from PluginHive’s FedEx integration. 5.

Enable the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature on your Shopify store. This feature is required for Shopify to display real-time shipping rates from third-party carriers like FedEx at checkout. 3. Note that 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' is generally not available on the Basic Shopify Plan. You may need to upgrade your Shopify plan or contact Shopify Support to have this feature enabled. 4. If you are on the Basic Plan and cannot enable this feature, you can still use the app to generate shipping labels, request pickups, and share tracking details, but real-time FedEx rate calculation at checkout will not be available. Contact Shopify directly for further assistance enabling 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' if needed.

How do I enable Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) for my Shopify store after upgrading to the Grow plan?

Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) is a feature controlled and enabled by Shopify for your store. To have CCS active and show carrier-calculated rates at checkout (such as FedEx rates through the PluginHive app), you need to contact Shopify support directly and request them to enable this feature on your store. The PluginHive app integrates with your carrier account once CCS is enabled, but cannot activate this Shopify feature on your behalf.

How do I set up FedEx real-time shipping rates in the app, and how can my client’s FedEx preferred (negotiated) rates be used instead of general rates?

To set up FedEx real-time shipping rates and use preferred negotiated rates, follow these steps: 1. Ensure that Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) is enabled in your Shopify account, as this is necessary for showing live shipping rates at checkout. If your Shopify plan does not include CCS, contact Shopify support to enable it. 2. In Shopify, enable the app’s rates under Shipping Profiles, so that shipping options provided by the app appear at checkout. 3. Within the PluginHive app, enable the specific FedEx services you want to offer, so these shipping options display to customers during checkout. 4. Connect your client’s FedEx account with negotiated rates by going to Settings > Carrier Accounts in the app. Linking their FedEx account allows the app to fetch and use their custom, preferred rates directly from FedEx rather than general list rates. This setup ensures that your checkout displays accurate FedEx rates tailored to your client’s negotiated pricing.

How do I set up the PluginHive app to use my FedEx business account for shipping rates and remove estimated delivery dates for pre-order products?

To properly configure the PluginHive app with your FedEx business account and manage shipping rates and delivery date settings, follow these steps: 1. Ensure your Shopify store has the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature enabled, which is required for showing real-time FedEx calculated rates at checkout. This feature is generally unavailable on the Basic Shopify plan, so if you are on Basic, you must upgrade your plan. Contact Shopify support to upgrade and enable this feature. 2. Connect your FedEx business account within the PluginHive app for accurate rate calculations and label generation. 3. To avoid displaying estimated delivery dates during pre-orders, configure the app or your Shopify store settings to disable or hide delivery estimates specifically on pre-order items. This might involve customizations or settings adjustments either in the app’s pre-order module or Shopify’s product settings. 4. You can still generate shipping labels, request pickups, and share tracking details using the app regardless of your Shopify plan status. For detailed assistance beyond this setup, consult the PluginHive documentation or contact support.

How do I update the display names of FedEx shipping services shown to customers during checkout?

To update the FedEx service display names visible on the checkout screen: 1. Open the PluginHive app and go to **App → Settings → Edit Carrier Services**. 2. Find the list of FedEx shipping services. 3. For each service you want to rename, edit the “Display Name” field to the desired text. You can add delivery time estimates, promotional info, or any custom message here. 4. Save your changes. The updated display names will then appear to customers during checkout instead of the default FedEx service names.

How do I verify if Carrier Calculated Shipping is enabled in my Shopify store?

To verify if Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) is enabled: 1. Access your Shopify admin panel. 2. Check your plan details or shipping settings to see if CCS is active. 3.

For confirmation, contact Shopify support to confirm CCS status on your plan.

How does FedEx differentiate between FedEx Ground and FedEx Ground Home Delivery for shipping addresses, and how is this managed in Shopify?

FedEx itself classifies addresses as COMMERCIAL or RESIDENTIAL. When a shipping address is COMMERCIAL, FedEx returns FedEx Ground as the available service; for RESIDENTIAL addresses, FedEx returns FedEx Ground Home Delivery. Only one of these options will be available at a time based on the address type. Shopify does not automatically determine or display this; the classification is handled during the FedEx rate request process. Therefore, customers do not need to choose between these two — the correct FedEx service is automatically shown based on their address during checkout.

How does Shopify handle the display of shipping rates for recurring subscription orders, and what can be done if the rate displayed differs from the checkout shipping charges?

Shopify automatically displays the lowest available shipping rate on the recurring order screen by default. This means the rate shown to customers may be lower than the actual shipping charge applied at checkout. To address this discrepancy, you have two options: 1. Hide the shipping rate information on the subscription order screen so customers do not see the potentially confusing difference. 2. Choose to accept that customers will see the lowest shipping rate, even if they are charged a higher rate at checkout. This behavior is standard within Shopify’s current UI and configuration options.

How does the PluginHive app determine shipping quotes for items with only weight information and no dimensions, and why do some carrier options disappear when multiple products are added to the cart?

The PluginHive app calculates shipping rates based on available product data, including weight and dimensions. When items lack dimensions and only have weight entered, the app still attempts to fetch rates from carriers like UPS and FedEx. For single items (e.g., a T-shirt or hub rings), you may see options from multiple carriers including cheaper UPS rates and your own FedEx negotiated rates. However, when you add multiple items to the cart, the available shipping options may change. This occurs because the app aggregates the shipping details of all items to calculate combined rates, which can affect carrier options shown at checkout. For example, after adding three products, FedEx rates might disappear while UPS options remain visible. This typically indicates differences in the carriers’ rate availability or packaging algorithms when handling multiple items together. To troubleshoot or understand this behavior: 1. Verify that all items involved have complete and consistent weight data. 2. Confirm if dimensions or default package sizes are set or required for your shipments in the app settings. 3. Review the shipping rate logs within the app to check which carrier rates are returned for the combined order. 4. Try recreating the order in the app’s checkout to see which carrier options appear. 5. If discrepancies continue, capture and share screenshots of the checkout shipping options when multiple products are added, enabling further diagnosis. This checking process helps ensure the shipping quotes reflect accurate carrier availability and adheres to your negotiated rates when multiple products are shipped together.

How does the PluginHive FedEx shipping/tracking app handle shipping fees for rental products when the rental start date affects the urgency and shipping method, such as needing faster shipping for rentals starting soon versus cheaper options for rentals starting later?

The PluginHive FedEx shipping/tracking app calculates shipping rates based only on the current date at the time of checkout. It fetches real-time rates from your FedEx account integrated within the app and displays these rates accordingly. However, it does not support calculating shipping rates based on future rental start dates or date ranges. Therefore, it cannot automatically select different shipping methods (e.g., FedEx 3-Day vs. Ground) depending on the rental start date or enforce restrictions on orders if the requested shipping date is sooner than your fulfillment capability. Any differentiation in shipping fees based on rental start date would need to be managed outside the app or through custom workflows in your store setup.

How does the PluginHive team assist with app setup and support calls?

PluginHive provides free onboarding and support calls to help you with app installation, setup, and configuration as per your requirements. You can schedule calls at your convenience via their appointment booking link or coordinate timings via email. During calls, they walk you through: – Plugin installation and FedEx account integration – Enabling necessary Shopify features like Carrier Calculated Shipping – Configuring shipping rules and testing shipping rates at checkout – Generating shipping labels (airway bills) and requesting carrier pickups They also share session recordings for your reference after each call.

How is the estimated delivery time shown at checkout determined when using the PluginHive app with FedEx, and how can I control or adjust this delivery time notification for customers?

The estimated delivery time displayed at checkout is automatically calculated by FedEx based on shipment origin ("Ship From") and destination ("Ship To") addresses, reflecting real-time carrier delivery estimates such as next-day or 1-business-day delivery. Because this is carrier-driven data, you cannot manually extend or modify these estimated delivery times within the PluginHive app. To manage customer expectations regarding shipping times, you have two options: 1. Disable the display of estimated delivery times at checkout via the PluginHive app by going to **Settings > Rates Settings > Carrier Services** and turning off the **Display Estimated Delivery** option. This removes the delivery estimates completely from checkout, avoiding any discrepancy. 2. Clearly communicate your actual shipping policy (e.g., “We ship within 5 business days”) on your storefront and in order confirmation emails to set customer expectations independent of the carrier-calculated times. If you require further assistance in configuring these settings or need specialized advice on displaying shipping times, you can schedule a call with PluginHive support for personalized guidance.

I disabled all FedEx shipping services inside the app, but FedEx options still show up at checkout. Will deleting the app remove FedEx shipping options from my store?

Deleting the app alone will not necessarily remove FedEx shipping options if there is another source configured in your Shopify Shipping settings to display FedEx rates. If FedEx options persist after disabling them in the app, you should: 1. Check your Shopify admin under Settings > Shipping and delivery. 2. Look for any carrier-calculated shipping methods or other apps that might be providing FedEx rates. 3. Disable or remove these secondary FedEx sources there to completely stop FedEx shipping options from appearing at checkout. Make sure the only active FedEx rate provider is the PluginHive app if you want full control through this app. Otherwise, multiple sources can cause FedEx options to display concurrently.

If my Shopify store’s base currency is changed, do I need to ask FedEx to send shipping rates in a new currency?

No, typically you do not need to request FedEx to change the currency in which they send shipping rates. The PluginHive app requests rates from FedEx using the currency of the FedEx account’s country of origin. Changing your Shopify base currency changes the currency the app displays rates in and uses for label generation, but it does not affect the FedEx account’s currency or the rates data coming from FedEx.

Is FedEx by Shippo connected to the PluginHive app for carrier calculated shipping rates, or do I need to disable it to see correct rates from PluginHive?

FedEx by Shippo is a separate service and not connected to the PluginHive app. To ensure you see accurate shipping rates from PluginHive at checkout, you should disable the FedEx by Shippo account configured under Shipping Zones in Shopify. Leave only the PluginHive app enabled for rate calculation. After disabling FedEx by Shippo, check the checkout page again to verify that the rates displayed are from PluginHive. This avoids conflicts between multiple rate providers and ensures correct rate retrieval.

Is it compulsory to add product dimensions (Length x Width x Height) when configuring the 'PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx' app?

No, it is not compulsory to add product dimensions if you want to use only the product weight for calculating shipping rates. The app can generate shipping rates and labels based solely on the weight of your products. However, if you want more accurate or volume-based shipping calculations, adding dimensions may be helpful depending on your packing strategy. You should choose the packing method that best fits your store’s shipping process for optimal results.

Is it possible to add FedEx Ground shipping alongside FedEx Express in the app, and how can I do this?

The app currently supports label generation and order processing but does not natively pull in FedEx Ground rates alongside FedEx Express rates for checkout. To offer FedEx Ground rates at checkout, you need to: 1. Upgrade your Shopify plan from Basic to Shopify plan or higher. 2. Enable the Carrier Calculated Rates feature on your Shopify store (this requires contacting Shopify support). Without these steps, FedEx Ground rates cannot be shown during checkout through the app.

Is it possible to customize the shipping rate to include a 15% markup on top of the calculated FedEx rate using the app?

Yes, the app supports rate customization by allowing you to apply a percentage markup, such as 15%, or a fixed amount on top of the real-time FedEx rates. This can be configured directly within the app settings. You simply need to access the rate customization section of the app and specify the desired percentage markup to automatically adjust the shipping rates accordingly.

Is it possible to display FedEx shipping rates in the PluginHive app without having a FedEx account?

No, the PluginHive app requires a valid FedEx account to be added before it can display FedEx shipping rates. Displaying FedEx shipping options without linking a FedEx account is not supported.

Is it possible to enable carrier-calculated shipping on the basic Shopify plan to use apps like PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx?

The basic Shopify plan does not have carrier-calculated shipping enabled by default. However, if you are on the Shopify plan with yearly billing, you can request Shopify support to enable the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" feature on your account. This feature is necessary for apps like PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx to show live shipping rates during the checkout process. If enabled, you can seamlessly integrate shipping rates with these apps. Contact Shopify support to enable this feature or verify eligibility.

Is it possible to get all order and shipping cost information for an entire calendar month using PluginHive reports?

Currently, PluginHive shipping reports do not support generating data for a specific calendar month directly in the app. The available report options are limited to preset periods: Today, Last 7 days, and Last 30 days. The Last 30 days report covers a rolling window based on the day you generate it, not strict calendar months. For example, if you generate the Last 30 days report on January 7th, it will cover December 7th through January 7th.

Is it possible to override a FedEx shipping rate with a custom rate while still displaying the FedEx estimated delivery date?

No, the app does not support replacing the live FedEx shipping rate with a custom rate while retaining the FedEx estimated delivery date display. The estimated delivery date shown at checkout is directly linked to the live shipping rate response from FedEx. Since manually created or overridden rates do not come from FedEx’s live system, their estimated delivery dates cannot be retrieved or shown alongside custom rates.

Is it possible to show FedEx shipping rates in my Chilean Shopify store checkout using PluginHive integration?

Yes, with the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app for Shopify (PH Ship, Rate, and Track for FedEx), you can display accurate FedEx shipping rates at checkout in your Chilean store.

Is it possible to use auto calculation for live FedEx shipping rates on the Shopify Basic plan?

No, live FedEx shipping rates via Carrier-Calculated Shipping (CCS) are not available on the Shopify Basic plan.

This is a requirement imposed by Shopify and not related to the PluginHive app functionality.

Is PluginHive’s carrier calculated shipping service available for use in the US?

Yes, PluginHive supports carrier calculated shipping services including FedEx in the US.

If you want to enable this feature, please reach out to Shopify support for assistance. PluginHive’s services work once the necessary Shopify plan feature is active.

Is the default estimated delivery time shown in the shipping options provided by FedEx, and can it vary daily?

Yes, the estimated delivery time is calculated directly by FedEx based on shipment details such as origin, destination, and shipping method. This estimate can vary from day to day depending on specific shipment parameters and the data FedEx provides at the time of quotation.

Is the PH Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app compatible with the Shopify Grow plan, or does it require the Advanced or Plus plan?

The PH Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app is fully compatible with all standard Shopify plans, including the Shopify Grow plan. You do not need to be on Shopify Advanced or Plus to use the app. However, to display live FedEx shipping rates at checkout, your Shopify plan must have Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout (CCS) enabled. This feature is essential for the app to fetch and show accurate FedEx rates during the customer's checkout process.

Is the shipment time cut-off based on universal time or another time zone?

The shipment time cut-off is based on the local time zone of your FedEx account’s shipping location, not universal time (UTC). This means the cut-off time is calculated according to the time zone where your FedEx shipments originate, and you must process your shipments by this local time to ensure same-day dispatch.

Is there a way to migrate my data and settings from the FedEx Shopify plugin to the Multi-Carrier plugin within PluginHive?

Migrating settings or data directly from the FedEx plugin to the Multi-Carrier plugin is not possible. Each app operates independently, so you will need to configure the Multi-Carrier plugin settings manually to set up your shipping workflow. If you require assistance with configuring the Multi-Carrier app settings to automate your shipping process, you can schedule a support call through the provided appointment link to get personalized help.

Is there any limitation on the Shopify plan to generate shipping labels and send live tracking updates using PluginHive?

No, PluginHive allows generation of shipping labels and sending live tracking updates to customers on all Shopify plans.

Label creation and tracking functions do not depend on Shopify plan level.

Is there any way to fully utilize the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app on the Shopify Basic plan, especially regarding showing live shipping rates at checkout?

On the Shopify Basic plan, you cannot use the app to show live FedEx shipping rates at checkout because the Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) feature is not available on this plan. This functionality requires at least the Shopify Advanced plan or higher. However, you can still use the app to generate FedEx shipping labels, request pickups, and track shipments on the Basic plan. Showing live FedEx rates at checkout without CCS enabled is not possible.

What does "Carrier Calculated Shipping Rates" mean and why is it important for the PluginHive app rates to show at checkout?

"Carrier Calculated Shipping Rates" (CCS) is a Shopify feature that allows third-party apps or carriers to provide live, real-time shipping rates during customer checkout. Without this feature: – Shipping rates from apps like PluginHive cannot be displayed live at checkout. – Shopify will only show built-in shipping rates or flat rates configured manually. For PluginHive to fetch and display live FedEx, UPS, or similar carrier rates on your storefront, CCS must be enabled on your Shopify store. This is independent of whether PluginHive can generate labels or send tracking updates after the order is placed.

The 'Shopify plan' mentioned in the app refers to the 'Grow' plan offered by Shopify. Shopify’s tier names can vary, but in this context, the message means you need a plan equivalent to what Shopify calls 'Grow' to use the app fully, particularly to access carrier-calculated rates like those from FedEx.

What does the Packing Method setting affect in the PluginHive app, and how does it influence shipping rates?

The Packing Method setting in the PluginHive app determines how your orders are packaged for shipping. This configuration assigns one or multiple boxes to your order based on the predefined packaging options you set up in the app. These package details, combined with the Ship From and Ship To addresses, are used to accurately calculate FedEx shipping rates. Consequently: – The app uses the assigned packaging information to generate shipping rates displayed at checkout and during label generation. – This affects the rates shown to customers as well as the rates you see in the backend since they are calculated based on the volume and weight of the assigned packages. – The setting is applied in the backend within the app configuration but directly influences the shipping rates visible to customers during checkout. For additional guidance on setting up packaging and optimizing shipping costs, you can consult the app’s Packaging Setup documentation: https://www.pluginhive.com/knowledge-base/pack-products-optimally-and-save-shipping-costs-with-shopify-fedex-app/

What is the monthly fee for Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) on Shopify, and how do I enable it on my store?

Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) is a feature that displays real-time carrier rates at checkout and must be enabled in your Shopify settings. The availability and cost depend on your Shopify subscription plan: 1. If you have the Basic Shopify plan, CCS is not included by default. You can enable CCS by upgrading to a plan that includes this feature or adding it a-la-carte. 2. Shopify plans that include CCS by default are: – Shopify Plan – Advanced Shopify Plan – Shopify Plus Plan 3. If you are on the Shopify Plan and billing yearly, CCS can be added at no extra monthly cost. 4. If you want to keep monthly billing, CCS can be added as an add-on for $20/month by contacting Shopify support at [email protected]. To enable CCS: – Review your current Shopify plan and billing cycle. – Upgrade to a plan with CCS included, or request the add-on from Shopify support if applicable. – Once enabled in your Shopify subscription, activate Carrier Calculated Shipping within your Shopify admin shipping settings.

What is the purpose of disabling carrier services in the app settings if it does not affect label generation?

Disabling or enabling carrier services in App > Settings > Rates Settings > Carrier Services controls the shipping services shown to customers during the checkout process only. This means that customers will only see and can select from the enabled services at checkout, influencing the initial shipping choice and rates presented. However, this setting does not affect the manual label generation process, where all services returned by FedEx based on the order details remain selectable. Hence, the disabling feature is meant to customize checkout options and does not restrict manual label creation choices.

What is the recommended approach if I want to keep Shopify’s Shop Promise enabled but avoid conflicting or duplicate delivery time messages on the checkout page?

Since Shopify’s Shop Promise app independently manages delivery date messages that can override PluginHive’s estimated delivery display, managing conflicts requires coordination: 1. Decide which app should control delivery date messaging to avoid confusion. 2. If keeping Shop Promise enabled, consider disabling PluginHive’s estimated delivery display option (**App → Settings → Rates Settings**) so only Shop Promise messages appear. 3. Alternatively, if you want PluginHive’s estimates visible, you may need to disable or configure Shop Promise to minimize extra delivery messaging (check Shop Promise app settings). 4. Contact the Shop Promise app support team for detailed guidance on suppressing or customizing their delivery messages to eliminate duplication. 5. Avoid showing multiple estimated delivery texts simultaneously to preserve clear customer communication and improve conversion rates. This coordinated approach helps ensure consistent delivery information on the checkout screen.

What plan do I need to upgrade to in order to enable third-party shipping rates on my Shopify store using PluginHive?

The PluginHive app works on all Shopify plans for generating shipping labels and sending live tracking information. However, to show live carrier-calculated shipping rates (such as FedEx, UPS, etc.) at your store’s checkout, your Shopify plan must have the **Carrier Calculated Shipping** feature enabled. This feature is typically included by default on the **Shopify** plan and above, or you can add it to lower plans for an additional fee (approximately $20/month). You should verify your current Shopify plan’s status or contact Shopify support to enable or upgrade this feature.

What Shopify plan do I need to use the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app fully?

The PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx app works with all Shopify plans for functions such as generating shipping labels, requesting pickups, and sharing tracking information. However, if you want to display FedEx-calculated shipping rates at checkout through the app, your store must have the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature enabled. This feature is generally not included in the Basic Shopify plan. To enable it, you need to upgrade to at least the Shopify Plan and then contact Shopify support to activate Carrier Calculated Shipping on your store. If showing real-time FedEx shipping rates at checkout is not required, the app can function fully even on the Basic plan.

What should I do after enabling the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature on my Shopify store to start using calculated FedEx rates?

After enabling the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature in Shopify: 1. Confirm with PluginHive support that your store has the feature enabled. 2. PluginHive will enable app-calculated rates within your Shopify **Settings > Shipping and Delivery** configuration. 3. They will verify that calculated shipping rates (e.g., FedEx) are returned as expected at checkout. 4. Test your checkout to ensure live rates from FedEx appear correctly. If any issues persist, provide feedback to PluginHive support to assist further. This process ensures calculated rates from FedEx through PluginHive are properly active and functional at checkout.

What should I do if I cannot confirm FedEx shipping rates on my Shopify store because the website is password-protected?

When your Shopify store is password-protected, it prevents placing test orders to verify carrier-calculated shipping rates. To resolve this: 1. Remove or temporarily disable the password protection on your Shopify store to make it publicly accessible. 2. Place a test order to confirm that the FedEx shipping rates are showing correctly during checkout. 3. After verification, you can re-enable password protection if needed. This step ensures that PluginHive can fetch live FedEx shipping rates for your customers during checkout.

What should I verify if the currency and rate conversions appear incorrect between checkout and label generation in PluginHive for FedEx shipments?

If rates differ or appear converted incorrectly (e.g., shown in PLN but expected in euros), check the following: 1. Confirm the domestic shipping rates are set correctly for your country in the PluginHive FedEx app. 2. Verify if your Shopify store’s currency settings align with the shipping rate currency. 3. Look for any automatic currency conversion settings in the app or in Shopify that might alter displayed rates. 4. Review the shipment package details passed during checkout and label generation for consistency. If you continue to experience discrepancies, provide detailed logs (e.g., Rates Log ID) to support for investigation.

What steps can PluginHive support take to investigate carrier calculated shipping issues for my Shopify store?

PluginHive support can: 1. Request collaborator access to your Shopify store to inspect configurations and app registration. 2. Verify that CCS is enabled in your Shopify store settings and that the PluginHive app is registered as a carrier service. 3. Attempt to remove and re-add PluginHive carrier rates on your behalf to force a resync. 4. Check if the app is syncing correctly with your shipping zones and shipping profiles. 5. Identify if any permissions or Shopify platform issues are blocking rates from appearing. 6. Communicate findings back to you and advise contacting Shopify support if the issue appears to originate from Shopify’s platform limitations or bugs.

What support options are available if I need help configuring the PluginHive FedEx shipping app?

If you need assistance with configuring the FedEx shipping app on PluginHive, you can: 1. Schedule a call or screen-sharing session via Zoom with PluginHive support to get personalized help. 2. Respond directly to support emails requesting assistance. 3. Use the PluginHive appointment booking link provided by support to book a convenient time slot for detailed guidance. These options help ensure correct app setup and smooth integration with your shipping accounts.

What troubleshooting steps should I take if FedEx shipping rates still do not display after making changes to product dimensions or weights?

After adjusting product dimensions or weights, follow these steps to troubleshoot shipping rate display issues: 1. Clear your browser cache to ensure you are viewing the most recent data and configuration changes. 2. Test the checkout shipping rates using a valid shipping address (such as the Ohio address used in testing). 3. Confirm that the relevant FedEx shipping services are enabled in the app settings, including non-freight options if you want standard rates. 4. Verify that all products in the order have correct weights and/or dimensions as per the selected packing method. If rates still do not appear, recheck the app’s configuration for any discrepancies or contact support with detailed information about your setup.

When opening the app in Shopify, why do I only see a list of orders and not sections to amend or customize shipping preferences?

In the installed app, the shipping settings and configuration menu appear on the left side of the app interface. The main screen showing orders is designed for order processing and management. To customize shipping preferences, packaging settings, delivery date display, or rate markups, you need to navigate to the left-hand menu where the app settings are located. If you do not see these options, ensure you are using the vendor portal of the app and not just the order list view. Additionally, settings may be limited if the store is not yet fully launched or configured. Contact support if you require assistance locating the shipping configuration menus.

Why am I not seeing FedEx OneRate shipping rates populate on my site during checkout despite having OneRate activated on my account?

When OneRate is activated, the app calculates and shows shipping rates during checkout using FedEx OneRate services. The rates you see correspond to special OneRate packaging options (like FedEx Large Box) based on the product dimensions. To verify these calculated rates, check the Rates Log within the app, which details the package type selected, the use of the FedEx OneRate special service, and the corresponding shipping rates. If rates do not show on your site, ensure that the app is enabled to display rates at checkout in your store settings.

Why am I not seeing the shipping rates on the checkout page, and I cannot proceed with payment after upgrading my Shopify plan and enabling Shopify Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS)?

When shipping rates are not displayed on the checkout page after upgrading your Shopify plan and enabling Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS), you should verify the following: 1. Confirm that the shipping app settings (e.g., PluginHive) are correctly configured to display carrier services such as FedEx at checkout. 2. Test the shipping rates by entering a valid shipping address in the Shopify checkout or a test order, preferably using an address from a supported location (for example, London, UK). 3. Ensure that the carrier services are active and returning rates properly; you should see available rate options like FedEx international services. 4. If rates appear correctly during testing but not on your live checkout, try clearing caches or testing in a private/incognito browser window to rule out session/cache issues. 5. If issues persist, cross-check your Shopify plan status to confirm the CCS feature is fully enabled and active. 6. Contact app support for assistance if the above steps confirm your app and Shopify settings are correct but shipping rates still do not display. This approach helps isolate whether the problem is with app configuration, Shopify plan status, or the checkout environment setup itself.

Why am I seeing a "Carrier-calculated shipping (CCS) registration failed" error, and how can I get live FedEx rates to work through the PluginHive app?

This error occurs because the Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout (CCS) feature is not enabled in your Shopify store. To resolve this and display live FedEx shipping rates via the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. Contact the Shopify support team directly and request that the Carrier Calculated Rates feature be activated for your store. This is a Shopify-specific feature often restricted to certain plans or requires activation by Shopify staff. 2. Once Shopify enables the CCS feature, the PluginHive app will be able to retrieve and display live FedEx shipping rates at checkout. 3. Verify your FedEx account credentials in PluginHive are correctly set up to ensure proper integration. Note that this limitation is due to Shopify’s platform settings and not an issue with PluginHive itself. Enabling CCS is essential for live carrier rates to function through third-party shipping apps like PluginHive.

Why am I seeing the error "Rates cannot be displayed at the checkout, Since Carrier Calculated Rates are not enabled for your store" and how can I resolve it?

This error indicates that your Shopify store does not have the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" feature enabled, which is required to display real-time FedEx shipping rates at checkout.

If you need help contacting Shopify or understanding your plan options, it’s best to reach out directly to Shopify support for detailed assistance.

Why am I seeing the error message "Carrier-calculated shipping (CCS) registration failed," and live FedEx rates are not available?

This error typically occurs because your current Shopify plan does not have Carrier-calculated Shipping (CCS) enabled, which is required for live FedEx rates to function. Since this is a restriction imposed by Shopify, you need to contact Shopify support to upgrade or activate CCS on your store. Once CCS is enabled on your plan, the live FedEx rates should work properly.

Why am I seeing the message "Shipping not available for the selected address" when using PluginHive FedEx shipping in my store?

This message can appear if the Shopify store plan does not support “Carrier Calculated Rates from the App at Checkout”.

Once enabled, check your checkout page again to ensure FedEx rates are displayed. If rates still do not appear after enabling this feature, reach out for further assistance.

Why am I unable to re-register for carrier calculated shipping rates (CCS) on Shopify using the PluginHive app?

If your registration for carrier calculated shipping rates is failing, it is likely because your current Shopify plan does not have CCS enabled. Carrier calculated shipping rates is a feature restricted by Shopify and only available on certain plans (such as Advanced Shopify or Shopify Plus). To resolve this: 1. Verify your current Shopify plan and whether it includes carrier calculated shipping rates. 2. If your plan does not support CCS, contact Shopify support to upgrade your plan or enable this feature. 3. Once your plan has CCS enabled, you should be able to register and use carrier calculated rates with the PluginHive app without issues. Note: The PluginHive app itself cannot enable CCS as this is controlled directly by Shopify.

Why am I unable to register the PluginHive app to display shipping rates at checkout after upgrading to the yearly Shopify plan?

This feature allows the store to show real-time shipping rates from carriers. The steps to enable this are: 1. Verify that your FedEx account is successfully connected in the app. 2. Contact Shopify Support to upgrade your Shopify plan to at least the 'Shopify Plan' with yearly billing, as this is required to activate 'Carrier Calculated Shipping'. 3. Once Shopify enables this feature, the app will be able to retrieve and display FedEx Ground shipping rates at checkout. Please note, this is a Shopify requirement and not related to any limitations within the app itself. After this is set up, you should be able to offer FedEx Ground as the main shipping method during checkout.

Why are carrier calculated rates not working on my Shopify store after upgrading to the yearly Shopify plan?

After upgrading to the Shopify plan, the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature is not automatically enabled on your store. To enable carrier-calculated rates at checkout using apps like PluginHive, you need to: 1.

Once Shopify enables this feature, you will be able to use shipping apps that calculate real-time carrier rates during checkout. 3. After confirmation of enabling, verify if the rates start appearing correctly on the checkout page. If the feature remains inactive, the carrier rates will not display regardless of your app setup.

Why are FedEx live shipping rates not showing on my Shopify store with the Basic plan?

FedEx live shipping rates do not display on checkout with the Basic Shopify plan because Shopify restricts the use of carrier calculated shipping rates on this plan. To show live shipping rates from any carrier or app, your store must have the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature enabled, which is generally available only on Shopify plans above Basic. Without this feature enabled, you cannot use the app to display real-time FedEx shipping rates at checkout.

Why are FedEx shipping prices not showing on the cart page even though they appear correctly on the checkout page, and how can I enable FedEx rates in the cart shipping calculator?

FedEx shipping prices require complete shipping address information—specifically City, Postal Code, and Country—to be provided in order to calculate and display rates. On the cart page, the app must receive a rates request that includes these details, similar to the request sent during checkout. To enable FedEx rates in the cart shipping calculator: 1. Ensure your cart page collects or has access to the full shipping address details (City, Postal Code, and Country). 2. Verify that the cart page is configured to send a complete shipping rates request to the PluginHive app, matching the structure and data sent from the checkout page. 3. Confirm that the app successfully receives the rates request from the cart page and returns the calculated FedEx shipping rates. By making sure these address details are provided and the rates request is properly transmitted from the cart, FedEx shipping prices should appear correctly in the shipping calculator on the cart page.

Why are FedEx shipping rates for Belgium not appearing correctly or showing incorrect fees at checkout in Shopify using PluginHive?

FedEx shipping rates may not appear correctly if certain settings are misconfigured in Shopify or the PluginHive app. To resolve this issue: 1. Ensure the ‘Future Services’ option is enabled for app-calculated rates in your Shopify shipping settings. This allows the app to display current FedEx rates properly. 2. Review Shopify’s Shipping and Delivery settings to check for any custom flat-rate shipping options like ‘Small Packet Avion’ that might override or conflict with app rates. 3. Confirm that the PluginHive app’s account settings correctly specify the duties payer setting: – If ‘Duties Payer’ is set as ‘Sender’, shipping costs will include taxes and duties upfront. – Setting ‘Duties Payer’ to ‘Recipient’ means duties are collected on delivery, potentially lowering upfront shipping cost. 4. Adjust the rates type in the app to ‘With Tax’ or ‘Without Tax’ depending on your preference to show taxes/duties in the shipping cost. 5. Use the app’s Carrier Services settings to apply any percentage adjustments or surcharges accurately. If rates still seem incorrect after these steps, recreate the shipping calculation on FedEx.com with identical order details (origin, destination, package weight) and compare the quoted price. If discrepancies persist, provide screenshots of: – FedEx rates page showing details and prices – Your Shopify checkout displaying PluginHive rates This enables detailed diagnosis and support assistance.

Why are FedEx shipping rates not appearing at checkout on my Shopify store using the PluginHive app?

To display calculated FedEx shipping rates at checkout, your Shopify store must have the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" (CCS) feature enabled. This feature is typically unavailable on the Basic Shopify Plan and is a Shopify requirement, not an app limitation. The PluginHive app can still generate shipping labels, request pickups, and share tracking information without this feature. Contact Shopify support to enable CCS on your store. Once enabled, you can resume setup with PluginHive support to get shipping rates to show at checkout.

Why are FedEx shipping rates not displaying during checkout, and how can I fix this issue?

FedEx shipping rates may not display at checkout if the "Carrier Calculated Rates at checkout from the App" feature is disabled in Shopify. This setting is found under Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and Delivery. To resolve this issue: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 3. Check if the "Carrier Calculated Rates" feature is enabled. 4. If disabled, enable the feature to allow real-time carrier rates to be shown during checkout. 5. Note that enabling carrier calculated rates typically requires a Shopify plan upgrade, such as Shopify Advanced or higher. 6. Contact Shopify support to upgrade your plan or enable this feature if it is not already available. This restriction comes from Shopify’s platform and not from PluginHive, so resolution must be done via Shopify settings or plan adjustments. Once enabled, FedEx rates should appear properly during checkout.

Why are FedEx shipping rates not showing at checkout in the PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx Shopify app?

To display calculated FedEx shipping rates at checkout, Shopify’s 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature must be enabled on your store. This feature is generally unavailable on the Basic Shopify plan.

Why are FedEx shipping rates shown at checkout extremely high, such as 50 euros for shipping within the Netherlands, despite having carrier calculated shipping enabled?

Excessively high FedEx shipping rates can occur due to several reasons. To troubleshoot and resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Verify that your FedEx account details are correctly and fully entered in the PluginHive app, including shipping origin address and billing information. 2. Check the product weights and dimensions configured in your Shopify store, as incorrect or missing weight/dimension data can cause inflated shipping rates. Ensure all products have accurate weight and size information. 3. Confirm that the shipping origin address in the app matches your actual shipping warehouse or location in the Netherlands. A mismatch can trigger international or higher cost rates. 4. Review shipping service selections in the app settings; some FedEx service types may be more expensive. Adjust to more cost-effective services if appropriate. 5. Check for any additional fees or surcharges applied by FedEx or configured in the app that may inflate rates. 6. Test rate calculations within the PluginHive dashboard or by contacting FedEx directly using the same account to ensure the rates match outside of Shopify. 7. If all settings appear correct but rates remain unusual, reach out to PluginHive or FedEx support to investigate account-specific billing or rate configuration issues. Following these steps will help identify and correct reasons for absurd shipping costs shown at checkout.

Why are no delivery options showing up at checkout, even though no recent changes were made?

This issue can occur if the Shopify store does not have the "Carrier Calculated Rates" feature enabled, which is necessary for PluginHive to fetch live shipping rates. To fix the problem: 1. Verify in your Shopify admin that the "Carrier Calculated Rates" feature is enabled. 2. If this feature is not active, contact Shopify Support to enable it for your store. 3. Once enabled, the shipping rates will start appearing at checkout again through PluginHive.

Why are only Overnight rates being displayed at checkout, and how can I include additional FedEx services?

Only Overnight rates appear at checkout because the currently enabled carrier services are limited to those options. To display more FedEx services during checkout, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your PluginHive App dashboard. 2. Navigate to **Settings**. 3. Select **Rate Settings**. 4. Go to **Carrier Services**. 5. Enable additional FedEx services (such as FedEx Ground or others you want to offer) by checking their respective boxes. 6. Save the changes. Once enabled, the newly selected FedEx services will be available and displayed as shipping options at checkout.

Why are shipping rates not appearing for my product "Prodigy | HLP Plate Loaded Rack" at checkout?

Shipping rates may not appear if the product is assigned to a shipping profile that does not have the app’s calculated rates properly linked or if the app’s default location is incorrectly set. To resolve this: 1. Check your Shopify admin under Settings → Shipping and Delivery to confirm the product’s assigned shipping profile. 2. Ensure that the shipping profile has app-calculated rates enabled for the correct fulfillment location. 3. In the PluginHive app, navigate to Settings → Locations and verify that the default location matches the location used in the shipping profile. 4. If the default location differs, update it to the correct location to ensure the rates are calculated and returned properly at checkout.

Why are the shipping rates shown in the app not matching the charges on FedEx.com for my shipments?

Shipping rates are calculated by FedEx based on your order details, including ShipFrom address, ShipTo address, and package dimensions and weight. To verify the rates: 1. Check the app's rate logs (App -> Rates Logs) to review the order details and shipping costs. 2. Recreate the same shipment on FedEx.com using the identical order details to confirm your account-specific rates. 3. Note that the app’s shipping rates include any applicable surcharges such as duties and taxes, which may cause differences compared to FedEx.com base rates. If discrepancies persist, ensure that your shipping profiles in Shopify have the app’s FedEx rates properly configured, as missing app rates may cause fallback to external rate sources.

Why can't I select FedEx under "Use carrier or app to calculate rates" in the General Shipping Profile settings, and how do I fix it?

If FedEx is missing as an option when selecting the carrier/app to calculate rates in your Shopify General Shipping profile, it may be because the app is not fully registered for calculated rates on checkout. PluginHive support can manually register the app for calculated rates from their end. Once registered, you should be able to see FedEx as an option in Shopify’s Shipping Profiles and select it to calculate shipping rates at checkout. Contact support to verify registration or request assistance.

Why did the live rates connection become disconnected, and can we get notified when this happens?

The exact reason for the live rates disconnection is not specified, but one common cause can be changes in your Shopify plan or app configuration. For example, upgrading or downgrading your Shopify plan may affect how calculated rates are handled. The PluginHive app does not currently provide automatic notifications for live rate disconnections. To maintain live rate functionality, ensure your Shopify plan supports calculated rates at checkout and that FedEx services remain enabled in the app under **App Settings -> Rate Setting -> Carrier Services**. Regularly monitoring these settings can help prevent disconnections.

Why do FedEx shipping services I disabled in settings still appear as options during label generation?

Disabling FedEx services under App > Settings > Rates Settings > Carrier Services only affects the services shown at checkout for customer rate selection. It does not limit or remove any FedEx services during the manual label generation process. During label generation, the app displays all available FedEx services based on the order information, regardless of the disabled status, to allow users to manually choose from all valid options and associated costs. Therefore, even if you disabled certain services in settings, they will still appear as label generation options.

Why do I encounter a constant error when trying to activate the PluginHive app for automatic FedEx rate calculation at checkout, and how can I resolve it?

The most common reason for this error is that your Shopify store does not have the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" feature enabled, which is required by Shopify to display carrier-calculated rates such as FedEx rates at checkout. This feature is usually not available on the Basic Shopify plan by default. To resolve the issue: 1. Verify your current Shopify plan and ensure it supports Carrier Calculated Shipping. 2. Contact Shopify support to request the activation of the "Carrier Calculated Shipping" feature for your store, if it is not already enabled. 3. Once Shopify activates this feature, you will be able to register and activate the PluginHive app for automatic shipping rate calculation successfully. 4. Meanwhile, you can still use the app for other functionalities like generating shipping labels, scheduling pickups, and tracking orders. For detailed official guidance from Shopify, refer to their documentation: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shipping/setting-up-and-managing-your-shipping/enabling-shipping-carriers

Why do I get an error when trying to re-register the PluginHive app, and how can I resolve it?

The error during re-registration occurs because the Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) feature is not enabled in your Shopify store. To resolve this: 1. Confirm that your Shopify plan includes the CCS feature, which allows apps to calculate shipping rates at checkout. 2. If CCS is not enabled, contact Shopify support to request activation of this feature for your store. 3. Once enabled, you can successfully register or re-register the PluginHive app to display carrier rates at checkout.

Why does my shipping calculation still include the dropship item with near-zero weight (e.g., 0.01 grams), and how can I prevent non-physical items from affecting FedEx shipping quotes?

Shipping calculations depend on whether the product is marked as physical, not solely on weight or dimensions. Even if the weight is set to a very low value like 0.01 grams, the shipping app will include it if the product is still marked as physical in Shopify. To prevent non-physical or dropship items from affecting FedEx shipping quotes: 1. Ensure the product is marked as **non-physical** in Shopify as explained above. 2. Confirm that the product’s physical product flag is unchecked. 3. Update your product settings and re-test the shipping calculation. This approach ensures that non-physical items are excluded from shipping rate requests, which resolves the critical issue of shipping being calculated against items that do not require shipment.

Why does the checkout display the error "cannot deliver to address" when using FedEx through the PluginHive app, and how can I fix it?

The error "cannot deliver to address" typically occurs because the FedEx shipping rates from the PluginHive app are not included in your Shopify shipping profiles. To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Shipping and Delivery**. 3. Under the relevant shipping profile(s), ensure that the shipping rates provided by the PluginHive app (referred to as the "App Rate") are added. 4. If the App Rate is missing, add it to the profile so that FedEx rates from the PluginHive app can be calculated and displayed correctly at checkout. 5. After updating the shipping profiles, perform a test transaction at checkout to verify that FedEx shipping rates appear and the address error no longer occurs. By adding the PluginHive FedEx rate to your shipping profiles, you enable the system to validate delivery addresses and provide accurate shipping options to customers.

Why does the FedEx carrier rate setting show as "failed" when linking FedEx to a Shopify account, and can I use FedEx only for international orders shipped from Brazil?

The "failed" status in FedEx rate settings occurs because your Shopify store does not have the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature enabled. This feature is required to display live shipping rates from any Shopify app at checkout. Without it, you cannot fetch real-time FedEx rates in your store’s rate settings. However, you can still use the app to generate FedEx shipping labels for all shipments, including international ones, and send live tracking updates to customers. Using FedEx exclusively for international orders shipped from Brazil is feasible within the app, but the carrier rates will not show at checkout unless carrier calculated shipping is enabled in your Shopify plan. To enable carrier-calculated shipping, you may need to adjust your Shopify subscription or contact Shopify support. For detailed steps on generating FedEx labels in bulk, refer to the app’s documentation titled "How to Generate FedEx Labels in Bulk."

Why is carrier-calculated shipping for FedEx failing, and how can I fix it?

Carrier-calculated shipping for FedEx may fail if the connection or registration between your store and FedEx is disrupted. To fix this: 1. Re-register the carrier-calculated shipping feature in your PluginHive dashboard to re-establish the connection. 2. Verify that FedEx calculated rates are enabled and correctly configured for your store’s checkout process. 3. Perform a test order by entering a valid shipping address (for example, a New York address) to confirm that FedEx shipping options display properly at checkout. 4. If FedEx rates appear correctly during the test checkout, the issue is resolved. If not, review your FedEx account credentials and integration settings or contact support for further assistance.

Why is enabling a shipping option like FedEx Ground Economy not reflecting at checkout, and how can I properly enable it in the PluginHive app?

To enable FedEx Ground Economy so it reflects correctly at checkout, follow these steps: 1. Go to the PluginHive app dashboard. 2. Navigate to **App > Settings > Rate Settings > Carrier Services** and ensure FedEx Ground Economy is selected if that is the intended service. 3. Since FedEx Ground Economy is a special FedEx service, it requires account-level activation. Go to **App > Settings > Account Settings**. 4. Click on your FedEx Account Number. 5. Enable FedEx Ground Economy by entering the required parameters: Indicia, Hub ID, and Ancillary Endorsement. These details are FedEx account-specific and must be obtained from your FedEx representative. 6. Save the settings and test the shipping options at checkout again. If you have not yet received these parameters from FedEx, the FedEx Ground Economy service will not function properly.

Why is FedEx not appearing in the list of third-party shipping apps within Shopify?

FedEx is not visible because the 'Carrier Calculated Shipping' feature is not enabled on your Shopify store. Once you enable this feature through Shopify settings or support: 1. Approve the collaborator access request from PluginHive so they can verify your store setup. 2. Confirm with PluginHive that the feature is enabled. 3. After that, third-party carriers like FedEx will appear as available calculated rate options in the app and at checkout. Until this feature is enabled, FedEx services like rate calculation at checkout will not display, though you can still generate FedEx shipping labels, schedule pickups, and share tracking details via the app.

Why is FedEx shipping not showing at checkout after adding it in the PluginHive app?

If FedEx shipping is not showing at checkout despite being added in the app, verify the following: 1. Confirm that the **Carrier Calculated Shipping** feature is enabled on your Shopify store. This is necessary for real-time shipping rates to appear at checkout. 2. Ensure that the PluginHive app has proper access, specifically to your Shopify **Shipping and Delivery Settings**, as this is required for the app to sync and display shipping methods correctly. 3. Check that your FedEx account and credentials are correctly configured in the PluginHive app. If all the above are set correctly and FedEx still does not appear, contact PluginHive support with collaborator access and access to Shopify Shipping and Delivery Settings for in-depth troubleshooting.

Why is my CCS (Carrier Calculated Shipping) registration failing and how can I enable FedEx shipping rates at checkout on my Shopify store?

If your CCS registration is failing, it is likely because your current Shopify subscription plan does not include the carrier-calculated shipping feature required to display FedEx shipping rates at checkout. Here’s what you need to know and do: 1. **Check your Shopify plan:** – Basic Shopify Plan does *not* include carrier-calculated shipping by default. – Carrier-calculated shipping is included in the following Shopify plans: – Shopify Plan – Advanced Shopify Plan – Shopify Plus Plan 2. **Options if you are on the Basic Shopify Plan:** – You can upgrade to the Shopify Plan or above to get carrier-calculated shipping included. – Alternatively, if you stay on the Shopify Plan and switch to yearly billing, carrier-calculated shipping is included at no additional cost. – You can also add the carrier-calculated shipping feature as an add-on for $20/month by contacting Shopify support directly at [email protected]. 3. **Functionalities available on Basic Shopify Plan for FedEx:** – You can print FedEx labels. – You can automatically mark orders as fulfilled with FedEx tracking numbers. – You can schedule FedEx pickups. However, displaying live FedEx shipping rates at checkout requires the carrier-calculated shipping feature as explained above. Please verify your Shopify subscription plan and upgrade or add this feature accordingly to enable Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) successfully on your store. Let me know if you need assistance with plan changes or further setup instructions.

Why is the FedEx shipping method still not showing on my checkout page even after updating the product to pre-packed?

If the FedEx shipping rates are calculated in the app but not displaying on the checkout page, first ensure that your app settings are correctly configured — which appears to be the case here since rates are logged. A common cause for FedEx rates not appearing at checkout is the Shopify Markets Pro feature being enabled. Shopify Markets Pro restricts carrier service options and only allows DHL shipping methods to show. To resolve this: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Markets**. 3. Check if **Markets Pro** is activated. 4. If Markets Pro is enabled, disable it. 5. Save your settings. 6. Test the checkout again to see if FedEx shipping options now appear. If the issue continues after disabling Markets Pro, further investigation may be necessary.

Why is the PluginHive FedEx app not reading my Shopify plan upgrade for Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout (CCR), and how can I resolve this issue?

The PluginHive FedEx app requires the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature to be enabled on your Shopify store, which is separate from simply upgrading your Shopify plan. Even if you have upgraded your plan, CCR might not be automatically activated. To resolve this: 1. Contact the Shopify support team and specifically request them to enable the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature for your store. 2. Once Shopify confirms that CCR is enabled, re-register the PluginHive FedEx app for carrier-calculated rates. 3. This should then allow the PluginHive app to read your upgraded plan correctly and function as intended. 4. After completing these steps, you can proceed with the app setup for FedEx rates. Enabling CCR is essential because without this feature, registration and use of live carrier rates at checkout will fail.

Why is the shipping rate calculated by PluginHive based on a default instead of the actual items in the order, resulting in underestimated shipping charges?

Shipping rates displayed by PluginHive can sometimes default to preset package parameters rather than calculating based on the actual items’ weight and dimensions. To address this: 1. Verify that each product in your store has accurate weight and dimension details entered in the product settings. 2. Confirm that the order contains these accurate item details so the shipping calculator can use the correct package information. 3. If the rates still appear inaccurate, recreate the shipment on the carrier’s official site (e.g., FedEx.com) using the same delivery address and package details to compare actual shipping costs. 4. Share the order number and a screenshot from the carrier’s website showing the shipment details and rates. This helps troubleshoot discrepancies effectively. 5. Ensure your PluginHive settings are correctly configured to use real-time carrier rates rather than fallback default values. Following these steps helps ensure that PluginHive calculates shipping charges accurately based on the actual order items instead of defaults.

Why is the shipping rate on checkout higher than the base FedEx rate displayed in the PluginHive app?

The shipping rate at checkout may include additional handling fees applied by your store configuration. For example: 1. The base FedEx Home Delivery rate shown might be $37.31. 2. Your PluginHive app settings may have a handling fee set, such as 5%. 3. Additionally, Shopify’s shipping settings might also apply another handling fee of 5%. 4. These fees are cumulative, increasing the checkout shipping cost stepwise: – $37.31 + 5% (PluginHive fee) = $39.18 – $39.18 + 5% (Shopify fee) = $41.14 5. This explains why the checkout shipping cost is higher than the initial FedEx rate. To adjust this, review and modify handling fees in both PluginHive app settings and Shopify’s shipping settings as needed.

Why is there a large discrepancy between FedEx shipping charges and the shipping cost shown at checkout, and how can I diagnose the issue?

A significant difference between the FedEx shipping charges billed and the shipping cost displayed at checkout often arises due to discrepancies in order data or shipping rate calculations. To diagnose this: 1. Provide the exact Order number from Shopify related to the discrepancy. This allows the support team to retrieve detailed RequestResponse logs linked to the FedEx label generation and the checkout shipping rate calculation for the same transaction. 2. Compare these RequestResponse details to identify any mismatch or error in rate requests or calculation methodology. 3. Ensure that the product quantities and shipping addresses used during checkout exactly match those in the billing. Differences in these inputs can lead to large shipping cost variances. 4. If needed, give collaborator access to the store so support can directly review order details and FedEx API interactions. Thorough examination of these elements will help pinpoint why FedEx charges and checkout shipping costs differ and guide corrections in settings or data.

This detailed examination helps identify why FedEx charges and checkout shipping costs differ, enabling corrections in settings or order data.

Why might FedEx Ground shipping show for residential addresses despite enabling FedEx address classification in PluginHive?

This occurs because Shopify’s checkout shipping options are influenced primarily by its own logic, which defaults to showing FedEx Ground if a company name is entered and FedEx Home Delivery if not. Even with FedEx Address Classification enabled in PluginHive, the app currently does not override Shopify’s shipping method display at checkout. As a result, the commercial designation and FedEx Ground option may appear even for residential addresses if the logic or address data implies a commercial classification based on Shopify’s criteria rather than FedEx’s classification system.

Why were FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx Ground options not displaying in the shopping cart, and how can this be resolved?

The FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx Ground shipping options may not display if the estimated delivery dates are too close or not accurately calculated. To resolve this issue, increase the buffer hours in your shipping settings to advance the estimated delivery dates, making them more accurate and allowing these options to appear. For example, increasing the buffer hours by 12 or more (such as setting it to 204 hours) can correct the problem. If the problem recurs, capture a screenshot of the checkout transaction to help in troubleshooting.

Will the live FedEx shipment costs sync with my Shopify account when using my own FedEx account for specific countries?

Yes, you can sync live FedEx shipment costs with your Shopify store by installing the PluginHive app and adding your own FedEx account credentials within the app. This setup allows you to display accurate FedEx shipping rates at checkout for shipments to the countries your account covers, provided that the Carrier Calculated Shipping feature is enabled on your Shopify store. With this integration, you can also generate FedEx shipping labels, request pickups, and share tracking details with your customers. Note that the app does not support Shopify’s discounted carrier accounts, so you must use your own FedEx account directly.
