Requirements (Important)

Shopify requires Real-time Carrier Rates to use delivery rates based on price or weight.

This is a Shopify platform requirement, not a limitation of the Rose Perl Technology app.

How to Enable Real-time Carrier Rates

You can enable this feature in one of the following ways:

  • Annual Shopify billing (Real-time Carrier Rates included for free)

  • Advanced Shopify or Shopify Plus plan (included)

  • Monthly Basic / Shopify plan → Shopify allows activation for an additional $20/month

Yes — monthly plans are allowed. Shopify simply charges an extra fee unless you are on annual billing or an advanced plan.
