Set up origin shipping location correctly for FedEx
Once product dimensions are added or updated in the PH Ship app, the app uses this information to: – Select the most suitable custom box or package type based on the product size and weight. – Calculate precise shipping rates by considering the actual product/package dimensions. – Display the accurate shipping fee to the customer during checkout. This process ensures that shipping fees are based on real packaging and product details rather than default or incorrect sizes, reducing undercharging or overcharging for shipping.
Once you grant access to PluginHive support and they have resolved the issue, check your store’s checkout page to confirm that the shipping rates (e.g., FedEx rates) from the app are visible and functioning correctly. If the rates appear as expected at checkout, the issue has been resolved. If not, promptly inform PluginHive support for further assistance.
If standard troubleshooting like deleting and recreating shipping zones, clearing browser cache, and trying different devices or browsers does not resolve the issue: 1. Confirm with Shopify support if there are any platform-level restrictions or known issues affecting third-party app rates in that region. 2. Inform PluginHive support of all actions taken, including any Shopify correspondence. 3. Request PluginHive support to validate their app settings and perform test transactions to isolate the issue. 4. Include PluginHive in communications with Shopify support to facilitate coordinated troubleshooting. This collaboration often helps identify and resolve glitches that appear at the integration level.
When migrating to Shopify and using PluginHive, avoid adding countries under Shopify’s Shipping Zone settings to manage rates. Instead: 1. Add the countries in PluginHive’s International Zones configuration. 2. Confirm these countries are included in your international shipping profile in PluginHive. 3. This way, PluginHive fetches FedEx rates correctly during checkout without needing Shopify’s Shipping Zone adjustments. This method ensures correct shipping rates display for all required countries using PluginHive within Shopify.
To confirm proper configuration after reinstalling PluginHive: 1. Log in to your Shopify Admin panel and navigate to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Manage Rates**. 2. Check each shipping profile and associated shipping zones to ensure “Use carrier or app to calculate rates” is selected and that PluginHive appears as an active carrier service. 3. Verify that your FedEx shipping services and API credentials are properly set up within the PluginHive app dashboard. 4. Perform test orders on your store’s front end to confirm that FedEx calculated rates are displayed accurately during checkout. 5. If rates do not appear or are incorrect, provide collaborator access to PluginHive support for a detailed configuration review and troubleshooting.
To verify the resolution of the shipping rates problem: 1. Confirm that the new Africa shipping zone has been created as instructed, including all relevant countries. 2. Check the Shopify storefront by simulating a checkout with a shipping address from the Africa region (e.g., Zimbabwe). 3. Verify that FedEx shipping rates are correctly calculated and displayed at checkout. 4. Inform PluginHive support of your confirmation or report any remaining discrepancies. 5. Once confirmed, you may provide feedback or a review on the Shopify App Store to support PluginHive’s services.
No, it is not possible to add your customer's FedEx business account in the app. The app only allows you to connect your own FedEx account to display shipping rates at checkout. To show FedEx shipping rates to your customers, you must use your own FedEx account credentials within the app.
PluginHive Shipping provides real-time shipping rates from carriers like FedEx and UPS without requiring Shopify’s native carrier service subscription. This means: 1. If you use PluginHive Shipping to display carrier rates at checkout, you can avoid Shopify’s $20/month carrier service fee. 2. Ensure that the PluginHive app is properly installed, configured, and integrated with your carrier accounts. 3. Confirm PluginHive’s rates are appearing live at checkout by testing orders. 4. If you still see Shopify rates, review your Shopify Shipping Profiles and remove or disable Shopify carrier services to prevent conflicts.
Yes, the phone number displayed on the invoice by the PluginHive app is sourced from the phone number configured in your Shopify Locations settings. To change the phone number on your invoices: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Locations**. 3. Select the relevant location tied to your shipments. 4. Update the phone number field with the desired number (e.g., +49 30235919004). 5. Save the changes. The PluginHive app will then automatically use this updated phone number on all future invoices.
Yes, Shopify’s default behavior calculates shipping rates and processes shipments based on the store’s designated default location. However, to display accurate shipping costs from multiple fulfillment locations like Ohio and Las Vegas, you need to configure shipping zones in Shopify as follows: 1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and Delivery. 2. Create or edit shipping zones to correspond with geographic areas serviced by each fulfillment location (e.g., West Coast zone for Las Vegas, East Coast zone for Ohio). 3. Assign specific shipping rates or carriers (FedEx) to these zones according to which location will fulfill the order for that region. 4. Ensure inventory is correctly tracked at both fulfillment locations to reflect availability. This setup allows Shopify to show FedEx shipping rates calculated from the appropriate location based on the customer's shipping address. If further assistance is needed, scheduling a detailed session with support is recommended.
No, the app currently does not allow filtering or selective importing of orders based on labels, regions, or similar criteria within the app interface. All Shopify orders connected to the app are imported without selective filtering. To work with specific orders, use Shopify’s native filtering options on your orders page and then trigger processing actions (such as label printing) selectively via Shopify’s bulk action tools integrated with the app.
Yes, you can control shipping services by country using Shopify shipping zones combined with app service settings: 1. Create separate shipping zones in Shopify for the countries you wish to configure differently. 2. Assign the PluginHive FedEx app shipping profile to those zones selectively. 3. Within each zone’s app rate settings, enable only the desired FedEx shipping services for that zone. 4. Test the checkout by selecting addresses in those zones to confirm only the enabled services appear. Note: The app itself currently does not provide toggling individual FedEx service visibility; control is achieved via Shopify's shipping zones and selective activation.
No, the PluginHive app subscription is managed on a per-store basis. Each Shopify store requires its own installation of the PluginHive app and a separate subscription. It is not possible to link multiple Shopify stores to a single app subscription or share the subscription across stores. To manage shipments from two different stores, you will need to install and subscribe to the app individually for each store.
The PluginHive app does not support custom messaging or conditional notifications based on order quantity or shipping delays. The estimated delivery time returned at checkout strictly reflects FedEx’s standard shipping estimates when that feature is enabled. To inform customers about extended shipping times for orders over 48 units, update your website’s Shipping Policy or relevant customer communication channels with this information manually. This ensures customers are aware of potential delays beyond what the app can display.
Yes, the PluginHive app supports using your own FedEx account and displays your negotiated FedEx rates in Shopify when processing shipments. This allows you to view your personalized FedEx shipping rates directly within your Shopify store during checkout and order fulfillment.
Yes, you can temporarily stop displaying FedEx rates from the PluginHive app at checkout by following either of these methods: 1. **Disable FedEx services within the app settings:** – Navigate to **App Settings > Rate Settings > Carrier Services > Edit**. – You will see a list of FedEx services enabled on your store. – Disable the specific services you want to pause. – You can re-enable these services later when testing is complete. 2. **Remove the app from your Shopify shipping profile for specific shipping zones:** – Go to your Shopify Admin > **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. – Locate the shipping profile and shipping zones where PluginHive rates are applied. – Remove the PluginHive app as a carrier for those zones. – Add the PluginHive app back once you finish testing. Both methods allow you to prevent the PluginHive FedEx rates from appearing at checkout, enabling you to test other Shopify shipping rates without interference. If you need assistance implementing these steps, consider scheduling a call or providing collaborator access for support.
Yes, to configure which FedEx shipping services are visible and used via the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin and open the PluginHive app. 2. Go to the section labeled "Carrier Services" or similar. 3. Review the list of FedEx services enabled. Disable all FedEx shipping services except the one you want customers to use (e.g., FedEx International Priority). 4. To restrict the service based on shipping destination (e.g., international only), confirm or set the shipping zones in Shopify and ensure the PluginHive app is configured to show FedEx rates accordingly. 5. To control label generation services, navigate to App > Settings > Documents/Labels Settings. 6. Adjust the "Rate Selection Strategy" to either: – "Select Cheapest" to let the app pick the cheapest available service if no customer choice is made, or – "Preferred Service" to enforce a specific FedEx service for label generation. 7. Save all changes and test the checkout and label generation processes to confirm settings work as expected. This method lets you manage FedEx shipping options entirely via app settings without the need for live support calls.
Yes, FedEx API rate requests may behave differently depending on the destination country due to distinct validation rules or processing restrictions. For example: 1. Large draft orders with many items may successfully generate rates for US destinations but fail for UK addresses due to stricter validations or request size limits enforced on certain regions. 2. To address this, analyze draft order size and destinations to identify patterns. 3. If problems persist for UK shipments, split large UK-bound orders into smaller shipments following the recommended size limits. 4. Monitor discrepancies and provide detailed logs and order information when contacting support to help troubleshoot these country-specific issues.
This problem usually indicates that FedEx shipping services are not properly enabled or configured for the shipping zones covering those destinations. To resolve it: 1. Verify that FedEx shipping services are enabled in the PluginHive app for all applicable shipping zones, especially international zones if you ship globally. 2. Check the shipping profile in your Shopify store to confirm FedEx services appear and are active for the zones where customers face this issue. 3. If services were previously disabled, enable them in the app rates settings under International or relevant zones. 4. Test placing orders with affected addresses after enabling the proper services to confirm FedEx rates display correctly. This was the root cause in a reported case where enabling FedEx rates services in the international zone fixed the problem immediately.
Usually, Shopify Shipping Zones should be configured properly to allow FedEx rates to appear for the correct destination. However, if you have enabled the correct FedEx services in the PluginHive app, the rates should display as expected without additional changes to shipping zones. To verify: 1. Confirm your Shopify Shipping Zones include the United States and relevant regions you ship to. 2. Ensure that the PluginHive app is enabled for these zones if applicable. 3. Test a checkout by entering a US shipping address to see if FedEx rates appear. If rates do not show despite correct zone setup and enabled services, consider enabling additional FedEx services in the PluginHive app as outlined above.
The app retrieves product details, including weight, directly from the Shopify product listing. Since you push products from YellowDog to Shopify, you must ensure that the product weights are accurately set on the Shopify product page. If the Shopify products have the correct weights, the app will use those weights to calculate shipping rates correctly. Therefore, weights need to be correctly added in YellowDog only if they transfer properly to Shopify; otherwise, you should update weights directly in Shopify to ensure accuracy in shipping rates.
PluginHive supports delivery to Russia if the chosen carrier (such as FedEx) provides shipping services to that destination. To ensure shipping rates appear for Russian addresses at checkout, follow these steps: 1. Verify that the shipping carrier you are using (e.g., FedEx) offers service to Russia. If the carrier does not ship to the address, rates will not be displayed. 2. Confirm that the shipping address details entered by the customer are complete and valid. Invalid or incomplete addresses can prevent rates from showing. 3. In your Shopify store, go to the Shipping Profile settings and check the International Shipping Zone configuration. 4. Make sure Russia (or the specific region within Russia) is added to the International Shipping Zone in the Shopify Shipping Profile. If Russia is not included, add it to enable shipping rates for that country. 5. After adding Russia to the shipping zones, test the checkout page again to see if the shipping rates are displayed correctly for the Russian address. Following this setup ensures that shipping rates for Russia appear at checkout, provided the shipping carrier supports deliveries there.
PluginHive’s FedEx Ship, Rate & Track app does not directly support free shipping options since it focuses exclusively on providing FedEx shipping rates and services. However, you can configure free shipping within Shopify itself. To offer free shipping where customers pay nothing for shipping (and the seller covers the cost), you need to create a Free Shipping rate based on order value in Shopify’s Shipping Zones settings. For example, you can set a condition so that any order over $99 qualifies for free shipping. Once configured, this free shipping option will appear at checkout alongside the FedEx shipping options provided by the PluginHive app. For step-by-step instructions on setting this up, refer to Shopify’s help guide on shipping rates: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/shipping-rates/understanding-shipping-rates
No, PluginHive currently does not support the 8.11" x 11" label size format. The platform primarily supports standard label sizes such as PAPER 4×6. Support for 8.11" x 11" and similar non-standard label sizes will be introduced after PluginHive migrates to FedEx REST APIs, which is a major development milestone. This enhancement is expected to be available in the app after the REST API integration is complete, roughly by mid-2025. Until then, custom workarounds or alternative label sizes must be used.
Currently, the PluginHive Ship, Rate & Track for FedEx app on Shopify does not support automatic order splitting where items from a single order are fulfilled from multiple locations. The app functions based on the single fulfillment location assigned to each order in Shopify and cannot split shipments automatically across multiple stores or warehouses.
No, not using FedEx Envelope or FedEx Pak packaging does not affect the availability of FedEx rates or label generation. You can package your shipments independently. However, successful label generation depends on FedEx providing valid shipping rates from your account through their API. Ensure your FedEx account supports the required shipping services and that these rates are accessible when creating shipments in the app.
No, the PH Ship Rate & Track app does not support Checkout Extensibility. It is designed to show live FedEx shipping rates directly at checkout but currently does not integrate with the Checkout Extensibility framework. For shipping rate display, use the app in its supported environment without relying on Checkout Extensibility.
No, the PH Ship Rate & Track for FedEx app by PluginHive is designed as a standalone app. It does not integrate with other third-party apps like Baselinker. It specifically handles FedEx live shipping rates display, label printing, and order fulfilment directly within Shopify. Integration with other systems would need to be managed outside this app using separate tools or middleware.
The issue could be due to a mismatch between the shipping address and the FedEx Freight billing address. FedEx Freight returns the error "The shipping address provided does not match the account address" when these addresses do not align. Please verify that your Shopify Location (shipping/warehouse) address exactly matches the FedEx Freight account billing address. Update the shipping warehouse address in Shopify Locations to mirror the billing address used on the Freight account and test rates again.
To troubleshoot inconsistent FedEx Ground shipping availability: 1. Verify that **FedEx Home Delivery** is enabled not only in the app but also within Shopify settings: – Go to Shopify Admin → Settings → Shipping and Delivery → Shipping Zones. – Check if FedEx Home Delivery service is enabled for the applicable shipping zones. If not, enable it. 2. Confirm from the app logs if FedEx Home Delivery options are being passed correctly at checkout (this indicates the app is sending the rates). 3. Test for caching issues by making a minor change in the shipping address (e.g., modify the recipient’s name) and re-check the shipping options. 4. Clear your browser cache or try a different browser/session to rule out caching problems. Following these steps ensures both Shopify and the PluginHive app are configured correctly to show FedEx Ground/Home Delivery rates for all valid addresses.
You should add new countries under the International Zones in PluginHive for which you want to show FedEx shipping rates. This approach is preferable over creating new Shipping Zones in Shopify. By managing countries within PluginHive’s International Zones: – The plugin can correctly fetch and display FedEx rates. – It prevents conflicts or missing rates due to Shopify shipping zone misconfiguration.
The migration of all subscriptions from WooCommerce to Shopify is complete. Regular order processing now occurs through Recharge on Shopify. However, it was noted that orders containing the Chocolate Discovery Bundle currently show a quantity of zero on Shopify. This bundle must have its quantities properly added/configured in Shopify to ensure these orders process correctly. Once fixed, customer support will no longer need to log into WooCommerce to support subscriptions, fully consolidating subscription management within Shopify and Recharge.
To schedule a demo for the FedEx Shipping plugin on Shopify, follow these steps: 1. Visit the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app page on Shopify: https://apps.shopify.com/fedex-shipping to review the app’s features. 2. Use the dedicated scheduling link from PluginHive to book a shared screen demo and onboarding call, for example: https://appointments.pluginhive.com/appointment/book-a-slot/ 3.

Test shipping rates and label generation functionalities to ensure accurate setup. 3. Contact support or schedule a Zoom call if you need further assistance with integration or setup details.
To add a second warehouse: 1. Go to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Locations**. 3. Click **Add location** and enter the details for your new warehouse. Note that the current PluginHive Ship Rate and Track app supports only a single fulfillment location. Orders that require shipping from multiple warehouses will not have labels generated properly in this app.
To add carrier-calculated shipping rates for the international shipping zone, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to your shipping zones settings in the app or platform where PluginHive is integrated. 2. Locate and select the new "International" shipping zone you have created. 3. Click on the "Add Rate" button within this shipping zone. 4. In the rates options, select the PluginHive app or the specific carrier app (e.g., FedEx) that calculates live shipping rates. 5. Save the configuration to enable carrier-calculated rates to appear during checkout for orders shipping internationally. This configuration allows your checkout page to display real-time shipping rates based on carriers such as FedEx for customers outside the GCC.
To add FedEx shipping rates calculated by the PluginHive app in Shopify, follow these steps: 1. Log into your Shopify admin panel. 2. Go to **Settings** > **Shipping and delivery**. 3. Under the **General shipping profile**, click **Manage rates** or **Edit**. 4. In the appropriate shipping zone, click **Add rate**. 5. Select **Use carrier or app to calculate rates**. 6. From the list, choose **FedEx Rates Service (Rates provided by app)**. 7. Save the changes. This will enable FedEx rates calculated by the app for the selected shipping zones.
To resolve discrepancies between shipping rates displayed in Shopify and your previously agreed corporate rates with FedEx: 1. Contact FedEx directly to confirm and verify your current corporate rates and ensure they have been applied correctly on your account. 2. Share any concerns or rate inconsistency details with PluginHive support, who can verify your account integration status and investigate if the rates are syncing properly. 3. Request a callback or phone discussion with FedEx and PluginHive technical teams to clarify the rates and resolve discrepancies. 4. Confirm the pricing agreement has been accepted and properly authorized within PluginHive’s integration setup to reflect accurate rates in Shopify. This multi-step approach ensures corporate rates are accurately reflected and any integration issues are promptly addressed.
To adjust product dimensions for FedEx OneRate shipping: 1. Identify the current product dimensions in the PluginHive app for the affected SKU (length, width, height). 2. Review FedEx OneRate box size restrictions: Small boxes typically have height limits around or below 2 inches depending on overall dimensions. 3. If the product’s height or other dimensions exceed the limits for a smaller box category, modify the height (or other dimensions) downward accordingly in the product information — for example, reduce height from 2.5 inches to 2 inches or less. 4. Update the product dimensions via CSV import or directly in the PluginHive product list as applicable. 5. After updating, test shipping calculations again to confirm the product is assigned the correct FedEx OneRate box and the shipping cost updates accordingly. 6. If assistance is needed during this process, contact PluginHive support for guidance.
To adjust shipping rates specifically for your Maui location without affecting the Molokai location (which ships papaya and pineapple), follow these steps: 1. Identify and segregate shipping zones or rules based on your shipping locations—Molokai and Maui—within your shipping plugin or Shopify shipping settings. 2. Leave the shipping configurations for Molokai untouched to preserve the existing papaya/pineapple shipping rates. 3. For Maui, modify or create new shipping rates or rules applying only to orders shipped from that location. This may involve: – Setting location-specific shipping profiles or rates in Shopify or your shipping app. – Adjusting the FedEx or carrier rate settings for Maui shipments by applying custom rate overrides or specific FedEx one-rate pricing you desire. 4. Test the changes by placing sample orders from both locations to confirm Maui rates update correctly while Molokai rates remain unchanged. 5. If unsure about implementing these changes, you can schedule a call with support or review the video tutorial provided by PluginHive illustrating the FedEx one-rate adjustment process (as previously shared).
If the Estimated Delivery dates are off (for example, displaying an earlier date than actual delivery), adjust the buffer hours in your shipping configuration to better reflect realistic transit times. Increasing the buffer hours advances the estimated delivery date by adding extra time to the calculation. This adjustment ensures delivery dates shown to customers align closely with actual delivery, reducing confusion and positively impacting sales. Monitor the delivery estimates after adjustments to confirm accuracy.
To arrange support for setting up your FedEx account with PluginHive on Shopify, use the dedicated appointment booking link provided by the PluginHive support team. – Select your convenient date and time slot to schedule the call. – During the call, a PluginHive specialist will assist you with verifying account credentials, configuring your FedEx shipping settings, and ensuring the integration is functioning properly. – If you need assistance before or after the call, you can reach out to the PluginHive support team via their contact channels for additional help.
To cancel your PluginHive subscription, you simply need to uninstall the PluginHive app from your Shopify store. Once the app is uninstalled, the subscription will be canceled. Before proceeding, ensure that you are aware that uninstalling the app will stop any services it provides, such as displaying FedEx shipping rates at checkout. If you face any issues or need assistance with the uninstallation or configuration before canceling, you can contact support for help.
To change the shipping account used for rates at checkout, follow these steps: 1. In your Shopify admin, go to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Shipping Profiles**. 2. Under the relevant shipping profile, locate the **Shipping Zones** section. 3. Remove the current FedEx app rates that are connected to the existing account number (e.g., 333645033). This will stop displaying rates from that FedEx account. 4. Add a new shipping account by connecting the desired carrier account (e.g., Periship’s account number 131032188) within the PluginHive app settings. 5. After connecting the new account, the app will display shipping rates from this new account at checkout. If you need visual guidance, please refer to the Shipping and Delivery settings in Shopify or contact support for a screenshot reference.
To verify that the PluginHive app is connected and the shipping rates are showing correctly, follow these steps: 1. Confirm that you have installed the app on your Shopify store and accepted any required subscription charges. 2. Go to your Shopify Admin and navigate to **Shipping and Delivery > Shipping Profiles**. 3. Check that the PluginHive app appears in the Shipping Zone settings within your shipping profiles. This indicates the app is recognized by your store’s shipping configuration. 4. To test shipping rates, go to your store’s checkout page and enter a shipping address to see if the shipping rates calculated by the app are displayed correctly.
To fully remove FedEx rates from appearing at checkout, follow these steps: 1. Confirm that FedEx is disabled within the PluginHive app settings to ensure the app does not request FedEx rates. 2. Verify Shopify’s **Shipping and Delivery Settings** to ensure FedEx is not enabled as a carrier within Shopify’s own shipping zones or third-party carrier integrations. 3. Provide PluginHive with Collaborator Access (if assistance is required) enabling them to inspect both app configurations and Shopify shipping profiles/settings for any conflicting entries. This access can be granted via **Shopify Admin > Settings > Users and Permissions**. 4. Clear any caching or saved shipping preferences on your storefront or checkout app to ensure the latest settings propagate. By thoroughly checking both PluginHive and Shopify shipping configurations, FedEx rates can be fully suppressed from checkout.
If FedEx shipping options continue to appear at checkout after disabling them in the PluginHive app, they are likely being added through your Shopify Shipping Settings. To fully remove them: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Go to **Settings** > **Shipping and delivery**. 3. Under **Shipping profiles**, review each profile, especially the ones assigned to your products. 4. Within the relevant Shipping Profile, check the **Shipping zones** and locate any FedEx shipping methods assigned. 5. Remove or disable the FedEx shipping methods from these Shipping Zones. 6. Save your changes. This will ensure that FedEx services are completely removed from checkout. The app only controls the options it manages directly; Shopify’s native shipping configurations can override or add extra options independently.
You can achieve country-specific duties payment configurations by using the PH Multi Carrier Shipping Label App. This app lets you add multiple integrations of the same FedEx account, each with its own duties payer setting. By creating shipping zones within the app and assigning these integrations accordingly, you can control who pays duties for shipments to specific countries (for example, shipper pays duties for Italy and consignee pays duties for Brazil). To set this up: 1. Install the PH Multi Carrier Shipping Label App from the Shopify App Store. 2. Add multiple FedEx integrations, each configured with the desired duties payer (shipper or consignee). 3. Define shipping zones in the app for each destination country. 4. Assign the appropriate FedEx integration to each shipping zone to apply the correct duties payer.
Shopify’s native shipping settings allow you to define free shipping conditions based on cart value for specific shipping zones, but the PluginHive app itself does not natively support offering free shipping exclusively on just one FedEx service like Economy. From the PluginHive app, you can either: 1. Provide free shipping for all customers regardless of shipping method, or 2. Apply handling charges as fixed values or percentages to live FedEx rates. If you want free shipping only on Economy service above a certain order value while keeping Priority, Express, and others paid, this is achievable using the “PH Multi Carrier Shipping Label (MCSL) App” by PluginHive, which supports service-specific free shipping configurations. To proceed, you need to transition to this app, which offers greater flexibility in rate and service management.
To configure international shipping for FedEx to Canada using PluginHive: 1. Log into your PluginHive dashboard and navigate to Shipping Settings. 2. Add Canada to your shipping zones or profiles if it’s not already included. 3. Ensure FedEx is enabled as a carrier service within those shipping zones. 4. Verify your FedEx carrier account linked to PluginHive supports shipments to Canada and is active. 5. Set up appropriate shipping rules or services that apply to Canadian destinations (for example, FedEx International Ground, FedEx Express). 6. Save all settings and sync changes with Shopify. 7. Test checkout with Canadian shipping address to confirm FedEx options appear. This configuration enables FedEx shipping options to display correctly for Canadian orders.
In the PluginHive app, navigate to Settings > Rates Settings > Edit Carrier Services. Here, you can select the preferred carrier services you want to offer customers, such as only air options. However, it is currently not possible to set different shipping services based on specific zones like Alaska and Hawaii. You can select air services globally but cannot restrict or exclude ground services specifically for those regions.
To configure shipping rates based on product value and shipping location for international shipping, follow these steps: 1. **Using PluginHive PH Ship Rate and Track app:** – The app allows you to show live FedEx shipping rates at checkout. – It enables generating and printing shipping labels, requesting pickups, and tracking shipments. 2. **Setting Custom Flat Rates Based on Order Value and Zones:** – This configuration is not directly handled within the PluginHive app but can be set up in Shopify through Shipping Profiles. – Use Shopify’s Shipping Profiles to set custom flat shipping rates based on different shipping zones and order value thresholds. – Review Shopify’s official guide on setting up shipping profiles here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/shipping-profiles/setting-up-shipping-profiles – Within the Shipping Profile, define shipping zones (geographical locations). – Create tiered shipping rates or flat rates for each zone based on the order value parameters you require. 3. **Recommendations:** – For complex value-based rules or more granular control, consider using advanced Shopify shipping rules apps or Shopify Scripts if your store is on Shopify Plus. – If you need assistance with the Shopify-specific setup, contacting Shopify Support is advisable. 4. **Using PluginHive in conjunction:** – Once shipping zones and flat rates are configured in Shopify, the PluginHive app can still provide live rate calculation with FedEx for customers who need that option. – You can control when to display live rates versus flat rates by managing your shipping profiles accordingly. This approach allows you to combine Shopify’s native shipping profile flexibility with PluginHive’s live carrier rate features for international shipments.
To configure conditional shipping rates such as free shipping on orders over $100 (except for Hawaii and Alaska) and different calculated rates specifically for Hawaii and Alaska, you can use the PluginHive app’s rate settings: 1. In the PluginHive app, go to **Settings > Rate Settings**. 2. Set up custom carrier rules like: – Show “FedEx Ground” with free shipping for orders with a price equal to or greater than $100, excluding Hawaii and Alaska. – Enable calculated shipping rates specifically for Hawaii and Alaska addresses, based on FedEx’s actual rates. 3. Configure any additional rules or overrides needed to display the correct shipping services for different regions. This approach enables dynamic and region-specific shipping rate displays on the checkout page.
To show FedEx calculated rates exclusively for Iraq orders, perform the following steps: 1. In Shopify admin, go to **Settings** > **Shipping and delivery**. 2. Check if you already have a shipping zone specifically for Iraq. – If not, create a new shipping zone by clicking **Create shipping zone** and select Iraq as the country. 3. Once the Iraq shipping zone is created, click **Add rate** within that zone. 4. Choose **Use carrier or app to calculate rates**. 5. From the rate options, select **FedEx Rates Service (Rates provided by app)**. 6. Save your settings. This configuration will restrict FedEx shipping rates to orders shipping only to Iraq. For further details, you can consult Shopify’s official guide on shipping zones: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/shipping-rates/shipping-zones
To restrict shipping to the UK using the PluginHive app, you need to configure your Shopify shipping settings and ensure the app is set to operate only for UK customers. Since direct configuration through the app may require verification, the support team often requests Collaborator Access to your Shopify store to assist in checking and adjusting these settings. The general approach includes: 1. Go to your Shopify Admin panel and navigate to **Settings > Shipping and delivery**. 2. Create or edit your shipping zones to include only the United Kingdom and exclude other countries. This ensures that shipping rates and options apply exclusively to UK addresses. 3. Verify in the PluginHive app settings that any shipping carrier integrations or live rates are aligned with the UK shipping zones only. 4. If unsure, provide the support team with Collaborator Access to your store so they can check and configure app-specific settings to apply shipping limitations correctly. This approach guarantees that customers outside the UK will not be offered shipping options, ensuring orders are shipped only within the UK.
To have the PluginHive app use a third-party warehouse address for FedEx shipping rates without modifying your FedEx account address, follow these steps: 1. Add the third-party warehouse address as a new location in your Shopify admin under **Settings > Locations**. This step allows Shopify to recognize the warehouse as a fulfillment location. 2. In Shopify, go to **Shipping Profiles** and edit the relevant profile to include this new third-party warehouse location as one of the fulfillment locations. Make sure it is enabled for shipping rates calculation. 3. The PluginHive app pulls the Fulfillment Location from your Shopify Shipping Profile settings to calculate rates. By adding and enabling the third-party warehouse location there, the app will use this address to fetch FedEx shipping rates. 4. There is no need to change the address in your FedEx account. The app uses the Shopify location data solely for rate calculation purposes. This method ensures that shipping rates are based on the third-party warehouse while keeping your FedEx account address unchanged.
To have shipping rates display correctly at checkout using PluginHive, you need to configure your shipping settings within Shopify as follows: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Shipping and Delivery**. 3. Under the **Shipping Profile** section, locate the relevant profile where you want to enable shipping rates from PluginHive. 4. Ensure that the PluginHive app’s shipping rates are properly integrated and enabled within this shipping profile. 5. Confirm that product weights and dimensions are accurately entered in your product details, as these are required to calculate correct shipping rates. 6. Save your changes and test the checkout to verify that rates are displayed.
To confirm PluginHive shipping rates are functioning correctly: 1. After reinstalling the app, go to the checkout or shipping settings where rates should be displayed. 2. Input typical shipping destinations and package details to see if rate options populate as expected. 3. Check whether the expected carrier options and prices appear. 4. Perform multiple tests with different product weights or shipping zones to ensure consistent results. 5. If rates are returned and visible during checkout, it indicates the shipping rate service is operating normally. If not, further troubleshooting or support assistance may be required.
After updating countries in International Zones or correcting store addresses: 1. Perform a test transaction at checkout using an address from the updated countries. 2. Verify that FedEx shipping rates appear during the shipping method selection step. 3. Optionally, you can test the pickup address directly on FedEx.com to ensure FedEx recognizes it as a valid pickup location. If rates and pickup work as expected, the configuration changes are successful.
To connect your FedEx account to your Shopify store with the PH Ship Rate & Track app, please note the following: 1. If you previously used an older method to connect your FedEx account that is no longer available, you will need to obtain updated credentials directly from FedEx. 2. The PH Ship Rate & Track app’s developers recommend reaching out to FedEx to request necessary account credentials such as the Production Meter Number. 3. If you are located outside the US and face difficulty contacting FedEx, you may need to contact FedEx support in your region to assist with obtaining these credentials. 4. Once you have the required credentials from FedEx, you can enter them in the app to enable FedEx shipping rates and tracking integration. 5. If you uninstalled the app previously, ensure it is reinstalled to set up the FedEx account connection correctly. 6. For security and access permissions, if the developers require access to your Shopify store, create and provide a Collaborator Account for them according to Shopify’s guidelines: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/staff-accounts/collaborator-accounts Following these steps will help you establish a proper connection between your FedEx account and the Shopify app for shipping and tracking functionality.
To connect your FedEx account to the PH Ship Rate & Track app on your Shopify store, follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have an active FedEx account with all necessary details available (account number, credentials). 2. Open the PH Ship Rate & Track app within your Shopify admin panel. 3. Navigate to the section for adding or managing carriers. 4. Select FedEx and enter your FedEx account number and any required authentication details. 5. Save the configuration, and the app should verify your account connection. If you have completed these steps but face issues with integration, confirm that the FedEx account added belongs to the correct region (e.g., Guatemala in this case) and that your credentials are accurate. If problems persist, document the issue with detailed descriptions and screenshots, then reach out to the app’s developer support team for further assistance.
To delete a FedEx account and display rates from another FedEx account in the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. Confirm which FedEx account you want to remove and which one you want to maintain for rate display. 2. Contact the PluginHive support team or request removal through the app support channel, specifying the account to be deleted. 3. The support team will clear the primary FedEx account from the app on their end. 4. After removal, add the desired FedEx account to the app using your store’s country settings. 5. Verify that the app is calculating and displaying shipping rates using the new account by navigating to the app’s Rates Log and checking the account number in the logs. 6. You can display shipping rates from this account without actually charging shipping or using PluginHive for fulfillment since the app supports rate calculation independently. This process lets you use the PluginHive app solely for calculating and displaying shipping prices from the selected FedEx account while continuing to handle shipping through external software.
To restrict FedEx shipping by country: 1. Create multiple shipping zones within your Shopify store under **Shipping & Delivery** > **General Shipping Profile**. For example, create one zone for North America and another for other regions. 2. Assign the appropriate shipping carriers or app rates to each zone. For North America, include only conventional mail carriers like Canada Post and USPS. For other zones, include FedEx rates. 3. Do not add FedEx rates to the North American shipping zones if you want to exclude FedEx from those countries. If necessary, remove FedEx services from the North American zones by deleting the FedEx rate or service within those zones. This setup ensures FedEx rates appear only in the desired geographical regions during checkout.
To hide FedEx-calculated shipping rates from customers at checkout while continuing to generate FedEx shipping labels: 1. Remove the PluginHive FedEx app as a shipping option within your Shopify Shipping Zones settings. This prevents the app from showing rates during customer checkout. 2. Orders placed without visible FedEx rates can still be processed through the PluginHive app’s backend, allowing you to generate FedEx shipping labels for fulfillment. 3. This approach lets you offer “free” shipping or any flat shipping cost on your site while leveraging FedEx for actual shipping without customer-facing rate discrepancies.
To display multiple FedEx shipping options such as OneRate and Home Delivery/Ground for specific products in your store, follow these steps: 1. Shipping Profiles: – Assign products to shipping profiles that have the required FedEx services enabled. – In Shopify admin, go to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Shipping Profiles**. – Make sure the profile containing your product has both FedEx OneRate and FedEx Home Delivery/Ground enabled. 2. Packaging Settings: – In PluginHive or your shipping app settings, set the correct packaging type to allow ground shipping. – Avoid defaulting the product to Express Packaging if you want ground services to be available. 3. Address Detection: – Note that FedEx Home Delivery appears as FedEx Home Delivery only when the shipping address is residential. – Ensure the shipping address is correctly categorized to display this option. 4. Product Details: – Verify product dimensions and weight are set correctly, as inaccurate info can limit shipping options. By properly configuring shipping profiles, packaging, and ensuring correct product details, your customers will see all applicable FedEx shipping options at checkout.
Shopify requires the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature to be enabled in order to display live carrier rates, such as FedEx, directly at checkout. Since this feature is disabled by default on most Shopify plans, here is how to handle the situation: 1. **Enable Carrier Calculated Rates** – Contact Shopify Support to request activation of the "Carrier Calculated Rates at Checkout" feature on your store. This is a Shopify-level restriction and not related to the PluginHive app itself. 2. **Using Store-Set Shipping Prices as a Workaround** – If you cannot enable carrier calculated rates, configure your shipping settings manually within Shopify’s shipping zones and rates. – Set fixed shipping prices in your Shopify shipping settings that match the prices you want your customers to pay at checkout. 3. **Impact on Live Rates Display** – Without enabling carrier calculated rates, live real-time rates from carriers (FedEx, UPS, etc.) will not appear at checkout. The customer will only see the fixed rates you set. 4. **PluginHive App Usage** – Once the feature is enabled by Shopify, the PluginHive app can fetch and display live carrier rates at checkout automatically. If you need help with shipping settings configuration or enabling this feature, consider reaching out to both Shopify support and PluginHive support to ensure your rates display correctly.
Currently, PluginHive displays the expected delivery date rather than the delivery time range at checkout. There is no built-in setting to switch from showing the delivery date to showing the delivery time (duration) on the checkout page. The rates shown at checkout focus on shipping charges inclusive or exclusive of taxes. For more precise delivery time estimates, consider adding a custom message or using a Shopify app that shows delivery time ranges separately since PluginHive’s standard functionality does not support displaying delivery time duration in place of a date.
To edit or modify the shipping services and update the service names shown to customers on the checkout page, follow these steps: 1. Log in to the PluginHive app dashboard connected to your store. 2. Navigate to **App > Settings > Rate Settings > Carrier Services**. 3. In the Carrier Services section, you can: – Select which shipping services to display or hide. – Rename or update the displayed service names to ensure they accurately reflect your available shipping options (for example, removing or renaming “2-day” or “express shipping” if those services are not guaranteed). 4. Save the changes to update the checkout page accordingly. This allows you full control over which shipping rates and service descriptions your customers see, helping avoid misleading shipping promises.
To see FedEx Ground Economy rates in the app, you need to enable this special service for your account by following these steps: 1. Go to the app’s main menu and select **App Settings**. 2. Under App Settings, navigate to **Account Settings**. 3. Locate the option labeled **FedEx Ground Economy** and enable it. 4. Enter the correct **HUB ID** associated with your account to ensure accurate rate retrieval. 5. Save your settings. After completing these steps, FedEx Ground Economy rates will be displayed when you check shipping rates within the app. If the rates still do not appear, verify that your HUB ID is accurate and that your account is authorized for this service.
Carrier-Calculated Shipping is a feature controlled by Shopify, and it must be enabled on your Shopify store for apps like PluginHive to display calculated FedEx rates at checkout. To enable this feature: 1. Contact Shopify Support and request them to activate the Carrier-Calculated Shipping feature on your store. 2. Once enabled by Shopify, your PluginHive app will be able to fetch and display real-time FedEx shipping rates during checkout. 3. Ensure your FedEx account is properly connected and configured within the PluginHive app. 4. After these steps, customers will see Carrier-Calculated Rates from FedEx at checkout. If you need assistance with app setup or configuration, PluginHive offers free onboarding sessions via Zoom. You can book a session at your convenience through the provided scheduling link or contact support directly.
To enable FedEx Ground Economy rates: 1. Go to the PluginHive app and navigate to Settings > Rate Settings. 2. Under the Carrier Services list, find and enable "FedEx Ground Economy." 3. When creating your shipping rate profiles, ensure FedEx Ground Economy is included. 4. Confirm that package weights for shipments using this service are 1 lb or more. Once these steps are completed, FedEx Ground Economy rates will appear during checkout for eligible shipments.
To enable FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP) rates: 1. Check if Shopify Markets Pro is enabled. If Markets Pro is enabled with your shipping zones, Shopify only supports DHL services for those zones, which prevents FedEx services from appearing. To show FedEx rates, disable Markets Pro in your Shopify settings. 2. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and Delivery. 3. Locate the shipping profile or zone where you want FedEx rates. 4. Edit the rates under “FedEx Rates Service (Rates provided by app).” 5. Ensure that the FedEx services you want (including FICP) are selected/enabled in the rate options. If no FedEx services are selected, none will appear at checkout. 6. Save your settings. You should now see FedEx international rates including FICP displayed at checkout for eligible addresses.
To enable FedEx shipping rates exclusively for the USA and Canada, ensure that your shipping zones in Shopify or your store settings include only these countries for FedEx services. Configure the FedEx carrier service in the PluginHive app or your shipping settings so that it is active only for shipping destinations in the USA and Canada. This way, FedEx rates will be displayed only when the shipping address belongs to these countries.
To use PluginHive's FedEx Rates Service app for calculating shipping rates at checkout, please follow these steps: 1. Install the PluginHive FedEx Rates Service app from the Shopify app store and ensure it is properly added to your store. 2. Grant the app access to your Shopify store’s Shipping and Delivery settings, including Shipping Profiles and Zones, so it can add its rates properly. 3. Verify that the app’s FedEx Rates Service is added to all your shipping zones in your Shopify Shipping Profiles. 4. Confirm that your Shopify Location’s "Ship From" postal code is correctly set with a valid 5-digit postal code (especially important for South Korea, where 5-digit postal codes are required by FedEx API; e.g., use 06636 instead of 135-080). 5. Avoid confusing PluginHive app shipping rates with Shopify’s built-in FedEx carrier service rates—they appear under similar names but are separate. 6. If rates still do not appear, check the app’s Rates Log in Settings > Rates Log to view API error messages and troubleshoot accordingly. If you continue to face issues, provide your FedEx Account Representative’s contact details to PluginHive support for further verification with FedEx.
To enable shipping for only specific products, create a new Shopify Shipping profile and add the products you want to test into that profile. Then, set up the shipping zones within this profile and configure the PluginHive app to provide rates only for this shipping profile. Ensure that the app is **not** enabled as a shipping option in any other shipping profiles. This setup allows you to test shipping rates and functionality exclusively with those selected products. For detailed instructions, refer to Shopify’s guide on setting up shipping profiles: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/shipping-profiles/setting-up-shipping-profiles.
To ensure FedEx One Rate shipping costs display correctly, follow these steps: 1. Verify that the PluginHive FedEx shipping app is properly installed and connected with your FedEx account credentials. 2. Confirm that FedEx One Rate service is enabled and supported for the shipping zones configured in your Shopify store. 3. Check your product settings to make sure accurate dimensions (length, width, height) and weight are entered for each product. 4. Use the Box Packaging feature within the app: – Enable box packaging to allow the app to calculate shipping based on how items fit into predefined boxes. – Add accurate box dimensions and weights if you use custom packaging. 5. Perform a test checkout and compare the FedEx One Rate shipping cost shown in Shopify with rates displayed on FedEx.com to confirm accuracy. 6. If discrepancies persist, review Shopify shipping settings and ensure there are no conflicting carrier-calculated shipping rules. Following these steps helps the app calculate FedEx One Rate costs accurately, reflecting the same rates as on FedEx’s official site.
To make PluginHive shipping rates show up at your store’s checkout, follow these steps: 1. Confirm that the PluginHive app is successfully installed and integrated with your Shopify store. 2. Verify that the shipping rates have been added within the PluginHive app settings. 3. Check your Shopify Markets configuration in **Settings > Markets** to ensure the markets relevant to where you want shipping rates displayed are activated. If markets are deactivated, shipping rates will not appear at checkout for those regions. 4. Activate the required markets to enable shipping rates for those locations. 5. Once markets are activated, test a checkout flow with an address within the market region to confirm that PluginHive shipping rates are visible. If issues persist, you may schedule a call with PluginHive support for real-time guidance and troubleshooting.
To ensure shipping rates appear for Russian addresses, follow these steps: 1. Confirm that your chosen shipping carrier (e.g., FedEx) offers delivery services to Russia. If the carrier does not service Russia, no rates will be shown. 2. Verify that the customer’s shipping address is complete and valid to avoid errors in rate calculation. 3. In your Shopify admin, navigate to Shipping Profile settings and check the International Shipping Zone configuration. 4. Add Russia (or the relevant region within Russia) to your International Shipping Zone if it’s not already included. 5. Save the changes and test the checkout page with a Russian address to see if shipping rates display correctly. This ensures that shipping rates are displayed at checkout for Russia, provided the shipping carrier supports deliveries there.
Although the PluginHive app does not have a specific setting to exclude selected products or variations from FedEx shipping calculations, you can achieve this by using Shopify’s Shipping Profiles: 1. In Shopify Admin, go to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 2. Create a new Shipping Profile and add only the products for which you want to exclude FedEx rates. 3. Within this profile, define the shipping zones and add only the shipping methods you want available, such as local pickup, excluding FedEx. 4. The PluginHive app will then calculate FedEx rates only for products outside this new profile, while customers will see only the shipping methods configured in the profile containing the excluded products at checkout.
To resolve the "No rates" issue for Canada in your shipping zone, follow these steps: 1. Go to the Canada Shipping Zone settings in your store's shipping configuration. 2. Click on "Add Rate" within the Canada zone. 3. When prompted to select a rate source, choose the PluginHive app as the shipping rate provider. 4. Save the changes to ensure the app’s rates are linked to the Canada shipping zone. 5. Test the checkout process using a Canadian address to confirm that shipping rates are now visible and customers can complete the purchase. This setup allows the PluginHive app to calculate and display shipping rates properly for customers in Canada during checkout.
If the app is not receiving a rate request, it usually means the product’s shipping profile is not properly linked with the app’s rates or the app’s settings are misconfigured. To troubleshoot: 1. Confirm that the product is included in a shipping profile that has the PluginHive app’s rates configured. 2. Verify that the app’s default location in Settings → Locations corresponds to the location applied in the shipping profile. 3. Approve any pending collaborator requests that the PluginHive team sends to your Shopify store email address, allowing them to verify your setup. 4. After updating the default location within the app to the correct location, test the checkout to confirm that shipping rates are now returned correctly.
To resolve issues with shipping rates not appearing correctly, ensure that your Shopify store collaborator request from PluginHive has been approved. This access allows the support team to verify and troubleshoot the settings needed to display calculated rates to customers. Approve the collaborator request sent to your store email and confirm once done so the PluginHive support team can assist further.
To prevent the FedEx shipping option from displaying for a specific country, you need to remove the PluginHive app's FedEx rates from the shipping zone assigned to that country in Shopify. Follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Shipping and Delivery**. 3. Click on **Shipping Profile** that contains the shipping zones for your store. 4. Locate the shipping zone corresponding to the country where you want to hide FedEx. 5. Remove the FedEx shipping option (supplied by PluginHive) from that zone so it will no longer appear at checkout for orders shipping to that country. This effectively disables FedEx rates from displaying to customers selecting that specific country during checkout.
To diagnose why some destination countries trigger the "We do not ship to your address" message, follow these steps: 1. Check the Rate Request Logs: – Go to the PluginHive app dashboard and review the rate request logs to see if the problematic shipments are logged. – If you cannot see the rate requests for those destinations in the logs, it indicates the requests may not be sent correctly or are blocked before reaching the rates API. 2. Verify Shipping Settings: – Confirm that the shipping zones and allowed countries in your Shopify store settings include these destination countries. – Ensure no restrictions or conditions are blocking these countries within the app’s shipping configuration. 3. Review Account and Carrier Status: – Ensure that your carrier accounts linked to PluginHive are active and enabled for international shipping to those countries. – Since your LTL account was reactivated, confirm other carrier accounts have not expired or been disabled. 4. Replicate the Issue: – Provide transaction details along with the full shipping addresses that trigger the error. – Share these details with PluginHive support to help them replicate the scenario on your store. 5. Collaborator Access: – Grant Collaborator Access to your Shopify store to PluginHive support so they can investigate the issue directly. – This access allows support to check app configurations, carrier connections, and relevant logs to pinpoint the problem. Following these steps helps systematically identify whether the issue is due to app configuration, carrier restrictions, or Shopify settings. If unresolved, schedule a call with support after providing details and access for deeper troubleshooting.
To integrate FedEx shipping with your Shopify store using PluginHive, follow these steps: 1. Install the "PH Ship Rate and Track for FedEx" app from the Shopify App Store on your Shopify store. 2. After installation, connect your FedEx account credentials within the app to enable rate fetching and shipping functionalities. 3. Ensure your FedEx account is active and has the necessary permissions for API access. 4. Once connected, the app will display real-time FedEx shipping rates at checkout, and enable order tracking features for your customers. If you need further assistance, it is recommended to schedule a Zoom call with the PluginHive support team for a personalized walkthrough.
To integrate your FedEx account with your Shopify store through PluginHive, follow these steps: 1. Install the PluginHive shipping app from the Shopify App Store. 2. Connect your FedEx account credentials within the PluginHive app settings. 3. Configure shipping settings such as package types, weight units, and shipping methods. 4. PluginHive will automatically fetch and display FedEx shipping rates at checkout based on the customer’s shipping address. 5. For detailed setup assistance or troubleshooting, you can schedule a live support session via the PluginHive appointment booking link to receive step-by-step guidance.
To display multiple shipping options during checkout, such as 2-3 day, ground, or air shipping, you need to configure the shipping services within the PluginHive FedEx app as follows: 1. Ensure your FedEx account is linked to the PluginHive app and the app is properly set up. 2. Enable the desired service types (e.g., FedEx Ground, FedEx Express 2Day, FedEx Air) in the app’s shipping service settings. For example, enabling the "FedEx Pak" service if applicable. 3. The app retrieves real-time FedEx rates based on the enabled services and your store’s shipping zones. 4. These available shipping methods and their rates will then automatically appear as selectable options during your store’s customer checkout process. 5. Verify the rates and options by placing a test order and checking the displayed shipping choices. This setup allows your customers to select their preferred shipping speed and type at checkout, providing flexibility and transparency on shipping costs.
To make FedEx rates available for shipments to the United States, follow these steps: 1. Go to the PluginHive app and navigate to **Settings > Carrier Services**. 2. Check which FedEx services are currently enabled; if only “FedEx International Connect Plus” is enabled, this might limit the availability of rates for some destinations, including the US. 3. Enable additional FedEx services such as “FedEx International Economy®” and “FedEx International Priority®” alongside or instead of “FedEx International Connect Plus.” These services have broader coverage and are more likely to provide rates for shipments to the United States. 4. Save the settings and verify the rates on the checkout page for US addresses. 5. If you continue to experience issues, ensure that your Shopify shipping zones are correctly configured to include the United States.
Managing international shipping requires correct setup of rates and services for non-domestic zones: 1. Within the PluginHive app, navigate to the shipping profiles section. 2. Confirm that you have created or included an International shipping zone covering the countries you ship to. 3. Ensure FedEx shipping services are enabled in this International zone shipping profile. 4. Verify that rates for these services appear correctly in your store when entering international shipping addresses. 5. If rates are not displaying or customers get errors, double-check that no restrictions or missing services are configured in the app or Shopify settings that block international shipping. 6. Test with multiple international addresses to verify consistent rate availability. Properly enabling FedEx services in all necessary zones prevents shipping errors and missing rate issues at checkout.
Currently, the app does not support setting multiple additional FedEx accounts that ship to the same country (e.g., the US) simultaneously. Since you want to use 4 different FedEx accounts all shipping from locations within the US, you cannot configure all these accounts in the app with the US as the Ship To country. This limitation means you cannot automatically generate quotes from multiple US-based FedEx accounts within one Shopify store using the app.
To reduce losses and downtime during uninstall and reinstall of PluginHive: 1. Take detailed screenshots or notes of all your PluginHive app configurations and Shopify shipping profiles before uninstalling. 2. Choose a low-sales period or off-peak hours to perform the uninstall and reinstall to avoid disrupting active customer checkouts. 3. Communicate internally and if appropriate, inform customers about potential temporary shipping rate disruptions to manage expectations. 4. Understand that uninstalling will temporarily remove PluginHive carrier rates from checkout and can cause short-term checkout rate unavailability. 5. After reinstalling, promptly restore or verify app settings using your documented information. 6. Confirm that PluginHive appears correctly in shipping zones and conduct test orders to validate shipping rate display and accuracy. 7. Contact PluginHive support immediately if configurations cannot be restored or if rates still do not appear, to get guided troubleshooting assistance.
To modify the return address or contact information on the FedEx shipping label generated by the PluginHive app, follow these steps: 1. Add the desired return address or updated company information to your Shopify store locations. This means you must first update or add the address details directly within your Shopify account under Settings > Locations. 2. When generating the FedEx return label via the PluginHive app, select the updated address from the list of available Shopify locations. The app pulls the ship-to address from these saved locations. 3. Confirm the selected address and generate the return label, which will now reflect your updated return address and contact information. Note: The company name shown is typically tied to the Shopify location or store details, so ensure it is updated within your Shopify account settings accordingly.
To restrict customers to only FedEx International Shipping options, you need to configure the shipping services enabled in your PluginHive app and Shopify store as follows: 1. Open the PluginHive app and navigate to the Carrier Services section. 2. Disable all unwanted FedEx shipping services except the specific FedEx International Shipping service you want to offer (for example, FedEx International Priority). 3. Verify your Shopify store's shipping settings to ensure that only the desired FedEx service rates are displayed during checkout. 4. If you want this restriction to apply only to international customers, confirm that your app is set to show FedEx rates only for international shipping zones. By setting carrier services this way, customers will see only the FedEx International Shipping option at checkout, preventing selection of other FedEx services.
To disable only the FedEx shipping option for the US but continue offering other shipping methods such as JAPANPOST, follow these steps: 1. Create a dedicated shipping zone for the US in your Shopify Shipping Profile. 2. Remove the FedEx shipping rates supplied via the PluginHive app from this US zone to hide FedEx during checkout. 3. Click **Add Rate** within the same US shipping zone and add shipping rates from your other apps or methods, such as JAPANPOST, so customers can still select those options. 4. Verify that the US shipping zone includes only the preferred shipping providers except FedEx. 5. Test the checkout process to ensure FedEx is excluded while other shipping methods remain available for US deliveries. This approach isolates the FedEx option from US shipments without affecting other shipping methods or countries.
You can exclude the International Connect Plus service from the shipping options seen by US customers by configuring your shipping zones in Shopify: 1. Go to **Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 2. Under your shipping profiles, create or select a shipping zone specifically for the United States. 3. Within this US shipping zone, add shipping rates from the PluginHive app. 4. When adding services, select all FedEx services **except** "International Connect Plus". 5. Save the changes. This setup ensures that US customers do not see the Connect Plus option at checkout and therefore avoids the need to enter FedEx recipient account numbers.
You can leave a review and provide feedback for the PluginHive app on the Shopify App Store by visiting the app’s review page at https://apps.shopify.com/fedex-shipping#reviews. Taking a couple of minutes to submit your experience helps the support team improve and motivates them to continue providing excellent service.
To remove or hide the FedEx Regional Economy service option from checkout using the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app, follow these steps: 1. Open the PluginHive FedEx Shipping app dashboard in your Shopify admin. 2. Navigate to the shipping services or shipping methods settings within the app. 3. Look for the list of available FedEx shipping options. 4. Locate the “FedEx Regional Economy” service in the list. 5. Disable or uncheck the FedEx Regional Economy service to prevent it from being shown at checkout. 6. Save your changes to update the available shipping options on your store. By disabling this service within the app, the FedEx Regional Economy option will no longer be displayed to customers during checkout. If any assistance is needed, consult the app’s help documentation or contact PluginHive support.
To fix shipping rates not appearing at checkout through PluginHive, you may need to remove the app as a shipping option from your Shopify Shipping Profile and then reconfigure it. Follow these steps: 1. Obtain permission from your store administrator or team to proceed with removal and reconfiguration. 2. Go to your Shopify admin panel and open the Shipping and Delivery settings. 3. Locate your Shipping Profile where PluginHive is currently configured as a shipping option. 4. Remove the PluginHive app from the list of active shipping methods within that profile. 5. Save the changes to confirm removal. 6. After removal, re-add PluginHive as a shipping method by integrating it again into the Shipping Profile according to PluginHive setup instructions. 7. Verify that carrier services, shipping zones, and rates are properly set up in PluginHive to align with your store’s shipping destinations. 8. Test checkout to ensure shipping rates are now displayed correctly. This process refreshes the connection between Shopify’s shipping profiles and the PluginHive app, often resolving issues with rates not showing. Always coordinate with your support team or PluginHive if assistance is needed during reconfiguration.
This error occurs because you are using the "Pack Item Individually" method, and the number of packages in the order exceeds FedEx's maximum package limit (e.g., 65 packages). To resolve this: 1. Try placing orders with fewer items to stay within the package limit. 2. Alternatively, change the packaging method to "weight-based packing," which allows multiple products to be consolidated into fewer packages based on weight and dimensions. 3. Set the maximum weight per package or pallet to ensure products are grouped efficiently. 4. Test the order placement after changes to confirm the shipping rates load correctly.
To resolve FedEx CCS rates not showing via PluginHive after CCS was disabled and re-enabled: 1. Confirm that CCS is truly enabled on your Shopify store by checking **Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Manage Rates** and ensuring the PluginHive app appears under “Use carrier or app to calculate rates” in the relevant shipping zones. 2. If the PluginHive app cannot be added or is missing from the shipping zones, test by trying to add a different carrier-calculated shipping app to the shipping zones. 3. If no apps can be added to shipping zones, this indicates CCS is not fully enabled or permitted on your Shopify account—contact Shopify Support to verify that CCS and carrier service integrations are active and available for your store. 4. Only after confirming Shopify allows carrier apps in shipping zones, work with PluginHive support to correctly add and configure the PluginHive shipping rates again. 5. If the app appears added but rates are not configured properly, PluginHive support can assist in correcting the settings once Shopify confirms the carrier integration is working on their end.
To correct currency discrepancies and ensure prices appear in GBP rather than EUR on your PluginHive-generated documents, follow these steps: 1. Verify your Shopify store’s currency setting: – Go to your Shopify Admin panel. – Navigate to Settings > General. – Confirm that your store currency is set to GBP. 2. Check the PluginHive app’s currency configuration: – Open the PluginHive app dashboard. – Go to the Currency or Pricing settings within the app. – Ensure the currency is set to GBP to match your Shopify store. 3. Refresh or regenerate your shipping documents to verify changes. 4. If prices still display in EUR, check if you have multi-currency or region-specific pricing apps that may override currency settings, and adjust accordingly. 5. Contact PluginHive support if the issue persists after these checks to troubleshoot synchronization between Shopify and the PluginHive app.
To set up shipping options so that only customers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex can select Ground shipping, and everyone else receives express shipping, follow these steps: 1. Use Shopify Shipping Profiles to configure your shipping zones: – Shopify Shipping Profiles allow you to define geographic zones and assign different shipping methods and rates to those zones. – Within Shopify, create a shipping zone specifically for the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex by adding the relevant zip codes or geographical boundaries. – Assign the Ground shipping option exclusively to this Dallas-Ft. Worth zone. – Create another shipping zone for all other areas in Texas and the U.S. and assign the express shipping option to these zones. 2. If Shopify Shipping Profiles do not support your level of zone granularity, especially postal code-based restrictions, consider using the "PH Multi Carrier Shipping Label App": – This app supports creating shipping zones defined by postal codes. – Within the app, set up a shipping zone comprising the Dallas-Ft. Worth postal codes. – Define rules in the app to display Ground shipping only for this zone. – Configure other zones and assign express shipping accordingly. 3. This approach prevents customers outside the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex from choosing Ground shipping, thereby avoiding potential product damage due to extended shipping times in warmer weather. 4. For detailed configuration within Shopify or the PH Multi Carrier Shipping Label App, refer to their respective documentation or support channels for step-by-step guidance. If you need help with the multi-carrier app setup or have more questions, feel free to reach out.

The pickup location is automatically determined by the Shopify-assigned location used for label generation. To configure or confirm this: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Click on the specific Order Number you want to ship. 3. Select "More Actions" and then click on "Generate Label." 4.

To configure free shipping for domestic checkout and live shipping rates for international checkout using PluginHive Ship Rate & Track for FedEx, follow these steps: 1. Access your PluginHive app dashboard within your Shopify store. 2. Navigate to the shipping settings and locate the shipping rules or rate configurations. 3. Create a shipping rule for domestic destinations: – Set the shipping rate to $0 (free shipping) for all domestic countries or specific domestic regions you target. – Ensure this rule is applied only when the shipping address is within your domestic country. 4. Set up a separate shipping rule for international destinations: – Enable live rate integration for FedEx so that the shipping charge displayed at checkout is calculated based on the actual FedEx rates. – Confirm all international countries or regions are included under this rule. 5. Save the settings and test the checkout process from both a domestic and international address to verify that the correct shipping rates apply (free domestically and live rates internationally). 6. For further customization or assistance, you can reach out to PluginHive support anytime.
To set up Fallback Services and resolve the shipping address error, follow these steps: 1. Verify Shopify shipping settings to ensure they allow displaying calculated rates from your chosen carriers. 2. Check your packaging and rates configuration in the app, especially the box weights and dimensions. For example, if you want to use FedEx Ground Economy, assign appropriate box weights (e.g., 1 lb) to qualify for that service. 3. Avoid having products packed individually with weights less than the minimum required for your selected service, as this can cause rates to fail. Instead, ensure product dimensions are updated correctly so items can be properly packed within the boxes you defined. 4. If products are “pre-packed” due to incompatible dimensions not fitting in any box you’ve set, update the product dimensions in Shopify to fit your packaging configuration. 5. After these adjustments, test by placing orders with different carts/items to confirm that shipping rates are properly calculated and displayed. 6. If rates still do not appear, re-check Shopify’s rate settings and collaborate with the app support team to verify app permissions and request logs.
To set up FedEx shipping rates, follow these actionable steps: 1. Connect your FedEx account within the app by providing the required FedEx credentials. 2.

Ensure the app settings are properly configured to use FedEx One Rate, allowing you to manage shipments efficiently with a consistent rate. If you need further setup help or confirmation on app configuration, feel free to ask.
To set up international shipping rates with specific flat or percentage adjustments in PluginHive for FedEx, follow these steps: 1. Access your PluginHive FedEx settings dashboard. 2. Define your shipping methods and packaging options (e.g., FedEx Envelope, FedEx Pak) as per your product categories. 3. To offer a flat rate for a specific country (such as $5 for USA), configure a shipping rule with a fixed rate amount targeting that country’s shipping zone. 4.

To update your product inventory location in Shopify: 1. Go to your Shopify admin and click on Products. 2. Select the product you want to update. 3. Scroll to the Inventory section and click on the current inventory location. 4. Change the stock availability from the incorrect location (e.g., Storage Dubai) to the correct location. 5. Save the changes. Accurate inventory locations ensure that shipping rates are calculated correctly based on product availability and fulfillment location.
The company name and address details shown in the PluginHive app are fetched directly from your Shopify store settings under **Shopify Admin > Settings > Locations**. To update the company name: 1. Navigate to the PluginHive app and go to **Settings > Shop Contact Details**. 2. Update the company name there. 3. For address fields like postal code that are greyed out and non-editable in the app, make the necessary updates in **Shopify Admin > Settings > Locations**. Note that some regions, such as the UAE, do not use postal codes, and leaving this field empty is valid. 4. After updating in Shopify, the changes will sync automatically in the app. 5. If you encounter an error stating “fields marked with (*) are required” caused by an empty postal code, verify that the Shopify location address is correctly set. For UAE addresses, the postal code can be left blank as it is not mandatory. 6. If the app is showing incorrect location data (e.g., “Land Islands” instead of a UAE address), confirm whether any Shopify fulfillment address enhancement apps or settings are enabled that could affect address syncing, and disable them if necessary. 7. After updating, create a new label for an order to verify that the updated company name appears correctly.
To update the shipping contact information, you need to change the location address details within your Shopify admin. Follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** at the bottom-left corner of the dashboard. 3. Click on **Locations**. 4. Select the location you want to update (where the shipping is processed). 5. Edit the address and contact information fields as needed. 6. Save the changes. If you find some fields are grayed out, it might be due to permission restrictions or because certain location details are controlled elsewhere in Shopify. Ensure your user account has permission to edit locations, or contact the Shopify store owner/admin for access.
To configure free shipping or flat rate shipping for specific countries using Shopify’s native settings, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Shopify Admin panel. 2. Go to **Settings** > **Shipping and Delivery**. 3. Under the **Shipping** section, either create a new shipping profile or edit an existing one. 4. Add or modify shipping zones by selecting the countries or regions where you want the special rates to apply. 5. Within each zone, add new shipping rates by clicking **Add rate**. 6. You can set a flat rate by entering a fixed price or create a rate with free shipping by setting the price to $0. 7. Save your changes. This approach works independently from any third-party rate apps and allows you to control flat rate or free shipping offers based on your business strategy.
1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and Delivery. 2. Review your Shipping Profiles and Shipping Zones. 3. Check if multiple apps or methods are enabled to display FedEx rates in the shipping zones (e.g., PluginHive app plus other third-party apps). 4. Remove or disable additional apps or options that show FedEx rates except the PluginHive app to avoid conflicts. 5. Save changes and test the rates at checkout again. This step prevents multiple shipping rate calculators from conflicting and ensures accurate FedEx rate display.
To verify and troubleshoot FedEx rate discrepancies: 1. Replicate the exact transaction on fedex.com using your FedEx account login. Ensure you enter the same package weight, dimensions, and shipping destination as in the Shopify order. 2. Compare the rates returned on fedex.com against those shown in the PluginHive app during checkout. 3. If differences exist, capture screenshots or details from fedex.com rates for further analysis. 4. If you need assistance, schedule a Zoom call with PluginHive support to replicate and analyze the transactions live. This process helps pinpoint whether the app’s calculation or the FedEx system configuration is causing the differing rates.
To verify if selected countries are enabled for FedEx shipping: 1. Check your PluginHive shipping zones or country restrictions settings within the app to confirm the target countries are included. 2. Test the checkout process on your website by selecting a shipping address in each of those countries and check if FedEx shipping options are available. 3. If FedEx rates do not appear for certain countries, review your configured shipping zones or contact support to troubleshoot API or configuration issues preventing FedEx from being offered as a shipping method.
To verify proper configuration: 1. Confirm the country is included in your Shopify shipping profile zone. 2. Check that PluginHive’s calculated rates are enabled in the shipping profile for the relevant location. 3. Ensure the app’s default location matches the fulfillment location in Shopify (Settings → Locations in PluginHive). 4. Test checkout with a full address including postal code in the new country to confirm rates display. If any step is missing, shipping rates may not be returned for the country at checkout.
To verify proper addition and configuration of PluginHive app rates in Shopify: 1. Log in to Shopify Admin and go to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Manage Rates**. 2. Inspect each shipping profile and associated shipping zones to confirm that “Use carrier or app to calculate rates” is selected. 3. Ensure PluginHive is listed as one of the active carriers in these zones. 4. If PluginHive is missing, or rates appear but are not working correctly, PluginHive support can assist if collaborator access is granted. They can check your app registration and settings from their side. 5. Confirm that the FedEx carrier rates are correctly set up within the PluginHive app dashboard, including API credentials and service options. 6. Perform test orders to verify that the rates display properly during checkout.
To confirm that the FedEx shipping rates displayed in the PluginHive app are accurate and match those on the FedEx website, follow these steps: 1. Identify a specific transaction or shipment for which you want to verify the rates. Having this example will help in accurate comparison. 2. Visit the official FedEx website and use their rate calculator or your FedEx account to check the shipping rates for the same shipment parameters (weight, dimensions, origin, destination, service type). 3. Log in to your store’s PluginHive FedEx app and find the corresponding shipping rate for that same shipment. 4. Compare the rates side-by-side to ensure they match or fall within expected variations (due to discounts or surcharges). 5. If you do not have access to the FedEx website or account, you may need to get access or request assistance from someone who manages your FedEx account to perform this confirmation. 6. If discrepancies are found, document the example shipment details and rates and contact PluginHive support for further troubleshooting and resolution. This process will help verify whether the app is returning accurate FedEx rates or if there is a mismatch that needs to be addressed.
To verify changes in FedEx shipping rates affecting your costs: 1. Contact your FedEx account representative directly to inquire about any recent rate changes or increases. 2. Recreate shipments on FedEx.com using the exact package details and destinations to compare current shipping rates with past rates. 3. Collect screenshots of the FedEx rate quotes for comparison and share these if further support is needed. This approach ensures you are aware of any rate increases beyond what PluginHive calculates.
To troubleshoot FedEx shipping options not appearing for an address: 1. Confirm that the shipping address is valid and correctly formatted, including state and zip code. 2. Check your Shopify Shipping Zones to ensure the destination address’s state is included in the zones assigned to FedEx shipping methods. 3. Verify that your PluginHive app is properly configured and connected to your carrier accounts (FedEx). 4. If discounts or restrictions are set up, ensure they do not exclude the particular address or shipping method. 5. If the issue persists, consider enabling collaborator access for the PluginHive support team so they can review your store setup directly. 6. Alternatively, schedule a support call with PluginHive to get personalized assistance.
To verify correct configuration: 1. In Shopify Admin, go to Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Shipping Profiles, and check that the PluginHive app (FedEx Rates Service) is added to the required shipping zones. 2. In the PluginHive app dashboard, verify your FedEx account credentials are configured accurately. 3. Confirm the FedEx shipping services you want (e.g., One Rate 2nd Day) are enabled and active. 4. Check if you have any custom adjustments (service fees or surcharges) added in Shopify or PluginHive app rate adjustment settings. 5. Perform a test checkout entering relevant shipping addresses and product details to see the rates displayed. 6. If the displayed rate matches your expected FedEx rate plus any service fee, your setup is correct. 7. If not matching, review all above steps or consult with a developer to verify technical integrations. You can reach out to PluginHive support for help once you have validated these points.
To verify PluginHive app sync and linkage to shipping zones: 1. In Shopify Admin, navigate to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Manage Rates**. 2. Under each shipping profile and shipping zone, look for the option “Use carrier or app to calculate rates.” PluginHive should appear as one of the carrier options here if it is synced properly. 3. If PluginHive is missing here, the app is not linked to that shipping zone or the syncing failed. 4. From PluginHive’s side, after collaborator access is granted, they can check your store connection and rate settings to confirm if the app is registered and try to re-sync. 5. If you do not see an option to remove and re-add PluginHive rates, this indicates a limitation or issue on Shopify’s end rather than PluginHive. 6. If necessary, reach out to Shopify support and request them to ensure that carrier service integrations are allowed and visible for your store’s shipping zones.
Once you approve PluginHive’s collaborator access: 1. Notify PluginHive support that access has been granted. 2. PluginHive will review your Shopify shipping settings, including shipping zones and market configurations. 3. They will help ensure the app’s carrier rates and shipping rules are correctly linked to your active markets and shipping zones. 4. Support will guide you on app-specific settings to restrict shipping regions, configure live rates, and troubleshoot any visibility issues at checkout. 5. They may offer real-time assistance via scheduled Zoom calls to configure and test your shipping settings until rates appear as expected. This collaboration streamlines your shipping configuration ensuring PluginHive services work correctly for your store.
PluginHive support confirms the reinstall success by: 1. Checking that the PluginHive app’s shipping rates are properly registered and visible across all shipping zones in your Shopify store. 2. Verifying that FedEx carrier-calculated shipping rates are actively displayed during test checkouts. 3. Communicating with you to confirm that the rates are working correctly from your side. 4. Remaining available for further assistance if any issues persist following the reinstall.
To add a country such as Chile to your shipping zones: 1. In Shopify admin, go to Settings → Shipping and Delivery. 2. Locate the shipping profile used for your products (e.g., General Shipping profile). 3. Edit the shipping zone labeled "Rest of the World" or add a new zone including the country you want to ship to. 4. Add Chile (or desired country) to that zone and save changes. 5. Confirm that PluginHive app’s calculated rates are enabled for that profile and zone. 6. Request the customer to enter the full address including postal code at checkout to retrieve shipping rates.
To modify shipping prices or apply custom adjustments on top of carrier-calculated rates like FedEx: 1. In the PluginHive app, go to **Settings > Rates Settings**. 2. Under the **Carrier Services** section, locate the shipping carrier you want to adjust. 3. Use the **Adjustment Value** or **Adjustment %** fields to add a flat dollar amount or a percentage increase/decrease to the carrier’s calculated rate. This customizes the final shipping price shown to customers. 4. If you prefer to set flat shipping rates regardless of carrier rates, configure these directly in Shopify by navigating to **Shopify Admin > Settings > Shipping and Delivery** and creating flat rate shipping zones and rates as needed. This method lets you tailor shipping costs either by modifying live carrier rates or setting fixed shipping charges through Shopify’s native settings.
To manage shipping service visibility and options based on destination country: 1. In Shopify, go to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 2. Create separate shipping zones within shipping profiles for different countries or regions. 3. Assign PluginHive shipping rates and FedEx service selections independently for each zone. 4. For example, exclude "International Connect Plus" for US zone, but keep it for other countries where it is supported without account number restrictions. 5. Save all changes to ensure customers see relevant shipping services at checkout. This setup allows precise control over available shipping choices by destination.
To configure PluginHive app rates in Shopify: 1. Log in to your Shopify Admin Panel. 2. Go to Settings > Shipping and Delivery > General Shipping Settings. 3. Find the Shipping Zone where you want to enable PluginHive rates (e.g., EU zone). 4. Click “Add Rate” within that zone. 5. Select the option “Use carrier or app calculated rates.” 6. From the list of available apps/carriers, choose “FedEx Rates Service (rates provided by PluginHive).” 7. Save your settings.

Under the shipping profile you want to edit, click **Manage rates**. 4. Scroll to the shipping zone where you want to add free shipping and click **Add rate**. 5. Select **Set up your own rates**, give this rate a name like "Free Ground Shipping." 6. Set the price to 0 or leave it blank (depending on Shopify's options). 7. Set the condition based on **Order price** and enter the minimum subtotal amount (e.g., $300). 8. Save your changes. For more detailed guidance, refer to Shopify’s help documentation here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/shipping-rates/understanding-shipping-rates.
To enable the "Get Shipping Rates" button, you must first click on the "Generate Packages" option in the PluginHive app interface. This step activates the ability to retrieve shipping rates for the order. After generating packages, the "Get Shipping Rates" button will become available for use.
If you have modified the shipper’s address in your FedEx account, you must manually update the corresponding shipping “From” address in your Shopify location settings. This synchronization is necessary because the system uses the Shopify location data for calculating shipping rates and generating labels. To do this: 1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel. 2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Locations**. 3. Select the location that corresponds to your shipping origin. 4. Update the address details to match the new shipper’s address you have set in FedEx. 5. Save the changes. Once updated, the system will use this address for rate calculations and label generation, ensuring consistency between your FedEx account and Shopify setup.
If the app is not generating FedEx rates for your orders and fallback rates (such as Shippo rates) appear, please follow these steps: 1. In Shopify admin, go to **Settings > Shipping and Delivery**. 2. Identify each shipping profile you use (e.g., ‘Parcel Items Only’). 3. Edit the profile and click **Add Rate**. 4. Select **Add carrier or app to calculate rates**. 5. Choose the option **FedEx rates services (rates provided by app)** and save the changes. This will enable the app’s FedEx rates calculation for that profile. After these changes, test your rates again during checkout to verify they match FedEx app rates.
Follow these steps: 1. Identify the shipping profile(s) associated with the problematic products in Shopify. 2. If those profiles lack configured rates in PluginHive, decide whether to: – Add the necessary shipping rates to those profiles, or – Remove the products from those profiles and add them to the general shipping profile, which already has PluginHive rates configured. 3. After adjusting the product assignments or rate configurations, test the checkout flow to validate that shipping rates are appearing and orders can complete properly.
The “No service supports prepaid duties” error occurs because PluginHive’s FedEx integration does not currently support prepaid duties shipping for international zones. To resolve this: 1. Log in to your Shopify Admin. 2. Navigate to **Settings > Taxes and Duties**. 3. Locate the “Prepaid duties” setting for your international shipping zones. 4. Disable the “Prepaid duties” option to allow FedEx rates to show correctly. 5. Save changes and test placing an international order again. By disabling prepaid duties, the PluginHive app can retrieve FedEx shipping rates and process international shipments without this error.
To manually add a tracking number for custom product orders, follow these steps: 1. Log in to the PluginHive Ship, Rate, and Track app. 2. Navigate to Shipping -> Open Orders. 3. Locate the relevant order that was shipped with the custom item. 4. Visit the 'Track Order' page for that order within the app. 5. Retrieve the tracking number displayed there. 6. Manually update your Shopify order fulfillment by adding this tracking number and marking the order as fulfilled. This ensures customers receive tracking information even for custom items that bypass auto-fulfillment.
FedEx requires each shipper location to have an associated contact phone number for the shipper address. To resolve the message about missing contact numbers: 1. Go to your Shopify Admin. 2. Navigate to Settings > Locations. 3. For each location listed, edit the location details and add the required phone number field. 4. Save the changes for each location. Adding phone numbers to all your fulfillment locations will ensure that FedEx requirements are met and the PluginHive app will stop showing the warning message about missing contact numbers.
To ensure correct origin and contact details are used for shipping calculations and labels: 1. Update the Origin Address ("Ship From") in your Shopify Admin under **Settings > Locations**. This address is used for calculating shipping rates and label generation. 2. Update contact details like the company name or person’s name within the PluginHive FedEx app: – Go to the app dashboard. – Navigate to **Settings > Shop Contact Details**. – Edit the company name, contact person, or other relevant details. These steps ensure consistent and accurate shipping origin and contact information reflected in your shipping rates and labels.
The address and contact details on shipping labels sync automatically from your Shopify store’s location settings. To update them: 1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Locations. 2. Edit the location information to reflect the correct address, phone number, and email. 3. Save the changes. 4. PluginHive Ship will automatically pull this updated information for generating new shipping labels. Note: Changes in Shopify locations will reflect in PluginHive automatically; no separate update in the app is required.
Shipping rate markups configured in the app increase the carrier’s base shipping rates by a specified percentage or fixed amount. For example, if you have a 170% markup set on FedEx International Economy, the displayed rate is calculated as: Final Rate = Base FedEx Rate + (Base FedEx Rate × 170%) So for a base FedEx rate of CAD 77.63, the final rate shown would be approximately CAD 209.60. Discrepancies arise if: – You apply markups inconsistently across different orders or carrier services. – Adjustments or markups are applied multiple times inadvertently. – Different users or systems testing the rates don’t have identical markup settings. To ensure consistency, verify your markup percentage settings under the app’s rate adjustment configurations, and confirm that they are applied uniformly whenever the shipping service is used.
Shopify Markets and Shopify Markets Pro have specific integrations with carriers that can limit the shipping options shown at checkout: – Using DHL Managed Markets in Shopify restricts shipping rates shown to only DHL rates; PluginHive will not show rates from other carriers like FedEx. To show all carrier options, disable Managed Markets in Shopify Markets settings. – Shopify Markets Pro is designed for certain regions/zones (e.g., Canada) and supports only Shopify DHL services. As a result, it blocks third-party apps like PluginHive from displaying other carrier rates (FedEx). To enable FedEx rates and other carriers through PluginHive, you need to disable Shopify Markets Pro for the relevant zones. Adjusting these Shopify settings ensures PluginHive can properly request and display all available shipping rates at checkout.
Shopify’s Shipping Zones determine which regions are eligible for specific shipping carriers and methods. If a destination like Hawaii is missing from the shipping zones: – Carrier rates such as FedEx will not be calculated or displayed for manual/draft orders targeting that region. – By adding the missing region to the relevant shipping zone, Shopify allows those shipping methods to be applied. – PluginHive integrates with Shopify’s zones, so once updated, the appropriate shipping rates will automatically appear in the app during order creation. This ensures that manual orders can be accurately shipped to all allowed regions without errors.
PluginHive responds to such situations by: 1. Monitoring the FedEx API responses for new service names, especially region-specific ones like "FedEx Priority" in the AMEA or Malaysia domestic market. 2. Adding new services into the app manually when identified or reported by users. 3. Deploying updates in the app to incorporate these services, which then enable rate display and label creation without errors. 4. Advising store owners to update their app settings post-release to reflect these new services. 5. Providing direct support and troubleshooting assistance if issues persist after the update. This process ensures that your store can offer the latest FedEx shipping options as soon as they become available in your region.
– PluginHive suggests systematically removing other shipping rate apps or options displaying FedEx rates one by one. – After each removal, test the checkout rates to see if the FedEx rate discrepancy resolves. – This process identifies the conflicting app or setting. – PluginHive can assist remotely via a Zoom call during which they can guide you through this troubleshooting step-by-step if you have Shopify Admin access. This approach isolates the cause of multiple FedEx rate sources affecting the checkout pricing.
PluginHive is actively updating its app to integrate with the new FedEx REST APIs as part of the FedEx system migration. This means the transition will be handled primarily within the PluginHive platform. If any changes or actions are required from your side, the PluginHive team will proactively inform you with clear instructions. Meanwhile, you can continue using the app as usual without interruption. For any concerns or further questions, you can contact PluginHive support directly.
PluginHive calculates FedEx rates based on the "ship from" location configured in your store and the shipping destination provided by the customer. The app retrieves available FedEx services and rates that apply for this origin-destination pair. It takes into account product weight, packaging, and any declared details like HS codes or country of manufacture for international shipments. Only FedEx services available for the shipping zones enabled in your store will be displayed at checkout.
The app pulls the phone number and address details directly from the Shopify Location settings configured in your store. This means whatever phone number you have set for a specific Location in Shopify will be reflected on shipment invoices generated by the app. To ensure accuracy on your invoices, maintain the correct contact details within each Shopify Location.
