How do I compute for Shipping Rate from Delivery Profiles?

Question: What if the merchant created a Delivery Profile with multiple rates (with different criteria)? What rate will be considered during checkout?

Answer: Our app does not compute for shipping rates. We let Shopify compute for the shipping rate and that’s what we return in our app. As of June 2024, Shopify always returns the cheapest applicable shipping rate. See example below:

  1. Rate based on weight

    Delivery profile rate based on weight

  2. Rate based on order price

    Delivery profile rate based on order price

Order being checked out with the resolved shipping rate

The shipping that was returned by Shopify is the cheaper rate.
