Installation & Configuration Guide
Learn how to install ShipFlux on your Shopify store and configure shipping zones, custom shipping rates, and checkout customizations — step by step.
Install ShipFlux on Shopify
Add ShipFlux to your Shopify store in a few clicks.
- Visit the ShipFlux listing on the Shopify App Store.
- Click Install.
- Sign in to your Shopify store if prompted.
- Review the requested permissions.
- Click Install again to authorize the app.
Once installed, ShipFlux will appear under the Apps section of your Shopify admin.
Open the ShipFlux Dashboard
Access the app from your Shopify admin and complete the initial setup.
- Go to Shopify Admin → Apps → ShipFlux.
- The ShipFlux dashboard will open.
- Review the onboarding checklist to see which setup steps are pending.
Configure Shipping Zones
Define the regions where your shipping rules will apply.
- From the dashboard, go to Shipping Zones.
- Click Sync Shipping Zones if available.
- Review or add zones for countries, states, provinces, or postal codes.
- Save or synchronize your changes.
Create Custom Shipping Rates
Set flexible shipping rates based on cart, product, or destination conditions.
- Go to Shipping Rates and click Create Shipping Rate.
- Add a name, such as Free Shipping Over $100.
- Set your conditions, such as cart subtotal ≥ $100.
- Define the shipping rate, such as $0.00 for free shipping.
- Save and activate the rule.
Shipping rate: $0.00
Zone: United States
Test Your Shipping Rules
Verify that your shipping rates and customizations work as expected.
- Add products to your store and go to checkout.
- Test different scenarios, such as below and above the free-shipping threshold.
- Confirm that shipping rates and methods are displayed correctly.
- Make adjustments if needed and retest.
Shipping zones
Shipping zones define where particular shipping rates and delivery options apply. Depending on your configuration, zones may use countries, states or provinces, postal codes, and other supported regions. Shopify remains the source of truth for native shipping profiles and zones.
Checkout customizations
Navigate to ShipFlux → Customizations to hide, rename, or reorder eligible shipping methods. Configure supported conditions, save, activate, and verify the result in Shopify checkout. Availability depends on Shopify APIs, your store plan, and feature eligibility.
Settings & billing
Open ShipFlux → Settings to review store configuration, shipping synchronization, Test Mode, application preferences, and integration status. To manage your subscription, open ShipFlux → Billing.
If Test Mode is available, enable it from Settings and follow the testing workflow provided by the app. Do not assume it isolates live checkout unless verified.
Troubleshooting
Custom shipping rates are not appearing
Verify that the rule is active, the cart satisfies its conditions, the destination is eligible, and Shopify's required shipping capabilities are enabled. Check for conflicting configurations.
Shipping rates are incorrect
Check cart subtotal, product weight, quantity, destination, and overlapping rules. Confirm that the data used by the rule matches the checkout scenario.
Checkout customizations are not working
Confirm that the store supports the required capability, that the customization is enabled, and that the relevant shipping methods exist at checkout.
Uninstalling ShipFlux
Open your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Apps and sales channels, locate ShipFlux, select Uninstall, and follow the confirmation steps. Before uninstalling, ensure your store has suitable shipping rates configured independently of ShipFlux.
