Getting started
Get started with Rulify
What Rulify does, which plan and Shopify plan you need, and how to go live in a few minutes.
Rulify controls the shipping options customers see at checkout. It has two features, and you turn on only the ones you use:
| Feature | What it does | Rulify plan | Shopify plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shipping rates | Calculates your own rates at checkout from rules you write. | Pro or Grow | Advanced or Plus, or Grow billed yearly |
| Delivery options | Hides, renames or reorders the shipping options your store already has. | Every plan, including Standard | Every plan |
Step 1: Choose what you want to do
The first time you open Rulify, choose Create shipping rates or Customize delivery options. Rulify turns on that feature and asks Shopify only for the permission it needs. You can turn on the other feature later from Home.
Step 2: Check that your store can show app rates
Skip this step if you only use Delivery options.
Shipping rates reach checkout through Shopify's carrier-calculated shipping. It is included on Shopify Advanced and Plus, and on Shopify Grow when you pay yearly. On Shopify Basic, your rules run but no rate is shown. To check your plan, go to Settings > Plan in your Shopify admin.
Step 3: Connect Rulify to checkout
Skip this step if you only use Delivery options.
Rulify registers its carrier service when you turn on Shipping rates. You then add Rulify to the shipping zones or markets where its rates should show. See Set up the carrier service and fix missing rates.
Step 4: Create your first rule
- Shipping rates: go to Shipping rates, click Create scenario, and start from a template or from scratch. See Create shipping rates.
- Delivery options: go to Delivery options, click Create rule, and choose Hide, Rename or Reorder. See Customize delivery options.
Changes usually reach checkout within 30 seconds of saving.
Step 5: Test before customers see it
Click Test a cart on the Shipping rates page. Add products, enter an address, and Rulify shows which scenarios match and which rates customers would get. Nothing is charged and nothing is saved. See Test a cart and read the checkout log.
