Shopify Shipit Delivery Checkout

Shipit Delivery Checkout

Easy and fast – start efficient shipment management today!

Shipit Delivery Checkout is a Shopify app that makes managing your online store's shipments easy, efficient, and reliable. The app also works on the Shopify Basic plan without the CCS feature, and scales flexibly all the way up to Shopify Plus.

With Shipit Delivery Checkout, you manage your entire shipping process from one place, directly in Shopify. You can create shipments, print shipping labels, track deliveries, and automate everyday routines without separate tools or complicated integrations.

Pickup point selection at Shopify checkout is available depending on your Shopify plan's features. On the Shopify Basic plan, pickup point selection isn't available at checkout, but all of Shipit Delivery Checkout's other shipping and management features work normally.

Shipit Delivery Checkout is designed for online retailers who want a reliable shipping solution that supports growth rather than limiting it. The solution suits both stores just starting out on Shopify Basic and high-volume Shopify Plus stores.

Benefits of Shipit Delivery Checkout:

Works on the Shopify Basic plan too, without the CCS feature – scales all the way up to Shopify Plus
Automatic shipping labels and tracking links
Create and manage shipments directly in Shopify
Pickup point selection at Shopify checkout (on supported Shopify plans)
Simple, automated shipping process
Fewer errors, more control

1. Getting Started

Add API credentials, sender details, and choose automation.

2. Delivery method setup and shipping rules

Create default parcel dimensions and add the delivery methods that suit your store.

3. Connect Shopify to Shipit’s delivery methods

With just a few clicks in Shopify’s settings.

4. Order processing in Shopify

Easy and fast with the automation of your choice.

Adding API credentials: Connect Shopify to your Shipit account by entering the API key in the app settings. This enables data synchronization between Shipit and Shopify. Note that you must have funds in your Shipit Wallet or billing enabled in order to create shipments in the Shipit Shopify app.
Sender address details: Add your company information and VAT/Tax ID numbers required for processing shipments and creating shipping labels. An EORI number is required for international shipments.
Shipment automation: Choose when shipping labels are created – manually, after order fulfillment, automatically upon new order, or another option that fits your workflow. This allows you to customize the process according to your needs.

After completing these settings, you’re ready to move on to defining parcel sizes and delivery methods (PDF instructions steps 4–6, pages 15–36).

Carefully read every step/page of the PDF instructions.

Test Mode

The API key you copied from your Shipit account works only in the production environment.

It cannot be used for testing. For testing, enable Test Mode, which allows you to try out all features without any cost.

Shipments created in Test Mode are not real shipments. All shipping labels will be voided, and carriers will not accept them.

No separate API key is required for Test Mode.

How can you check if CCS is enabled in your store?

You can check whether Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) is enabled in your Shopify store directly from the Shipit Delivery Checkout app.

Why isn’t CCS activated in the Shipit Delivery Checkout app even though I enabled it via Shopify support?

CCS is not automatically activated in the Shipit app after simply changing your Shopify plan. To enable CCS in Shipit, you need to uninstall the Shipit app and then reinstall it in your Shopify store.

In most cases, CCS is activated immediately after reinstallation. However, in some individual cases, activation may take up to three days after the Shopify plan change.

How to check:

Open Shopify Admin
Go to the Shipit Delivery Checkout app
Select Settings
At the top of the settings page, you’ll see a notification box showing the current CCS status.

Notification box colors and their meaning

🟢 Green notification box
→ CCS is active and enabled

🟡 Yellow notification box
→ CCS is not enabled

Shipment Automation Settings

After manual fulfillment

The shipment is created automatically only after the order has been marked as fulfilled in Shopify (manual fulfillment).

→ Use this when you want to complete fulfillment in Shopify first before creating the shipment.

After new order

The shipment is created immediately when a new order is received in Shopify.

→ A fast and fully automatic option if no manual step is needed.

Attach service point after order (without booking)

The pickup point is automatically attached to the order, but no shipment booking or label creation is performed.

→ Suitable when you only want to attach the pickup point information and handle booking or shipment creation later (e.g. in an ERP system).

On label download

The shipment is created when the shipping label is downloaded in Shipit.

→ The most commonly used setting when you want to create the shipment only right before printing or transferring the label to warehouse operations.

On label download (queued)

Shipments are created in a background queue when labels are downloaded.

→ An excellent choice when handling large batches of label downloads and improved performance is needed.

Fulfillment Automation – When Shopify marks an order as fulfilled

After new order

The order is marked as fulfilled as soon as the new order is created in Shopify.

On label download

The order is marked as fulfilled when the shipping label is downloaded.

→ A common workflow where the order is considered shipped once the label has been printed.

On label download (queued)

When a large number of labels are downloaded at once, orders are processed in a queue and marked as fulfilled only after the queue has been completed.

→ This improves performance when handling large batch operations.

Practical recommendation

If you select “On label download” for Shipment Automation, it is recommended to use the same setting for Fulfillment Automation. This ensures that shipment creation and order fulfillment happen at the same stage in the process.

Delivery method setup and shipping rules

Once you’ve entered the basic information, you can define default parcel sizes and create the delivery methods that suit your store.

Create a default parcel size
Set the dimensions and weight for the default parcel size. This applies to both CCS Plan customers and those without CCS.
Create delivery methods in the Shipit app
You can add one or more delivery methods.
CCS Plan customers can additionally define the delivery method description, enable pickup point selection at checkout, and set the delivery price and currency.
Link a parcel template to the delivery method
Attach the parcel template you created earlier to each delivery method (applies to both CCS and non-CCS customers).
Enable shipping rules (CCS Plan only)
With shipping rules, you can for example:
- Offer free delivery when the cart value exceeds a certain amount
- Hide delivery methods for orders that are too heavy
- Restrict deliveries to certain countries

Shipping rules make deliveries flexible and tailored to each customer. Setting them up is simple, and you can easily add rules to your delivery methods.

Tip: Parcel settings – parcel sizes

Shipit Delivery Checkout requires that each delivery method has a default parcel size assigned. Default parcel sizes are created in the app settings under Parcel settings.

However, you don’t need to create a separate parcel size for every individual parcel type. In most cases, a few so-called “dummy parcel sizes” are sufficient.

Recommended default parcel sizes

Small domestic shipments
For example:

Matkahuolto XXS parcel
Posti Small Parcel to door or mailbox

Recommended default parcel size:

15 × 15 × 3 cm
1 kg

Other domestic and international parcel deliveries

For example:

Matkahuolto Lähellä-paketti
Posti Postipaketti
DSV Noutopistepaketti
PostNord Automaatti and Kotipaketti
GLS ShopDeliveryService
Matkahuolto Ulkomaan Lähellä-paketti
Posti Parcel Connect

Recommended default parcel size:

15 × 15 × 15 cm
1 kg

With these two default parcel sizes, you can usually get started easily, and Shipit Delivery Checkout will work as expected with the most common delivery methods.

If you have any questions about these so-called dummy parcel sizes, or are unsure how to configure the settings, feel free to contact our customer support by email:
helpdesk(at)shipit.fi

How to create a “Collect from Store” shipping method in Shipit Delivery Checkout

If you want to offer in-store pickup as an option alongside carrier shipping methods, you can easily add it in the Shipit Delivery Checkout app.

How to do it:

In the Shipit app, go to Shipping methods
Click + Create shipping method to add a new method
Click + Select Shipit method, just like when adding other shipping methods
In the search field, type “Collect from store”
Select the shipping method with the Shipit logo
Save the selection
Name the shipping method as you like (e.g. Collect from store)
Set the price and parcel size
Click Save

Done!

The Collect from store shipping method is now available for your customers to select at checkout.

How to create a shipping rule – Shipping rule (CCS only)

Example: Free delivery for orders over €50

Click the +Add New Rule button
Name the rule, for example Free delivery for orders over €50
Click the arrow ⌄ on the far right of the column to open the rule editing fields
- Click Change shipping price if…
- Enter 0 in the price field (New Price)
- Add a condition (Conditions – all conditions):
  - Rule type: Cart Total Price
  - Operator: Greater than or equal to
  - Value: 50 (Please note that the value field must be entered in cents. For example, if you want to set a price of €50, you need to enter 5000.)
Click the Save button (top center)

You can add additional rules to the same delivery method by clicking the +Add new rule button.

Example: Hiding a delivery method if the shipping country is Latvia

Click the +Add New Rule button
Name the rule clearly
– Write a descriptive name so that all store users understand the purpose of the rule (not visible to customers).
Select option

Conditions

Rule type
– Choose Shipment country.
Operator
– Select One of equal – is one of the following.
Value
– Enter Latvia if you don’t want the delivery method to be visible for that country.

Cart Price–Based Rules – Explained Options

Above, we covered a basic rule that allows you to create, for example, free shipping when the cart value is €50 or more.

However, shipping-related rules can be based on the cart price in different ways. The table below explains the available rule types and their differences, helping you choose the right rule for your specific use case.

Rule type	What it measures	Includes discounts	When to use
Cart subtotal price	Total value of products in the cart before discounts	No	When shipping conditions should be based on the original product value, e.g. free shipping over €100, regardless of discounts
Cart total price	Final cart total after discounts	Yes	When shipping conditions should be based on what the customer actually pays
Cart discount amount	Total discount amount applied to the cart	Yes	When shipping options depend on the size of the discount (e.g. campaigns or special offers)

Connecting Shipit delivery methods to Shopify with a CCS plan

Once you have created the delivery methods in the Shipit Delivery Checkout app:

In Shopify, go to Settings > Shipping and Delivery and click Manage under Shipping.
Add a rate and select:
Use carrier or app to calculate rates > Shipit
→ Wait for the delivery methods to load.

If you are not using home deliveries: select only one delivery method from the list.
If you are using home deliveries: select all home delivery methods from the list (e.g. Posti Home Package, Matkahuolto Home Delivery, etc.).

Click Done and then Save.

Automatic delivery options and pickup points will appear at checkout without needing to select them individually, but home deliveries will only appear if they are selected individually in Shopify’s settings.

Connecting Shipit delivery methods to Shopify without a CCS plan

Once you have created a delivery method in the Shipit Shopify app, go to your Shopify admin:

Open Settings from the bottom left corner and select Shipping and Delivery.
Click the top Shipping box and select Add rate.
Add a new delivery method:
- The delivery method name must be exactly the same as the one you used in the Shipit Shopify app. The name links the delivery methods created in Shipit and Shopify together.
- Add the estimated delivery time and any additional details.
- Set a price for the delivery method.
- Save the delivery method.

This ensures that delivery methods work correctly at Shopify checkout without CCS.

3. Order processing in Shopify with the Shipit Delivery Checkout app

Open Shopify and go to “Orders.”
Select the order you want to process.
Click the order and review its details.
Make sure the customer’s name, address, phone number, email, and ordered products are correct.

At this stage, it’s important to note which automation you are using, as it determines how the order is processed:

whether the order is marked as fulfilled immediately upon label download,
when the next order arrives,
or manually.

Check the automations you have enabled in the PDF instructions or earlier on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Yes. Shipit Delivery Checkout works on the Shopify Basic plan and allows you to manage deliveries, create shipments, print shipping labels, and track shipments directly in Shopify.

Please note that due to limitations of the Shopify Basic plan, pickup point selection at checkout is not available. However, all other delivery and shipment management features of Shipit Delivery Checkout work normally.

If you’re not sure whether CCS (Carrier Calculated Shipping) is enabled in your store, you can check it as follows:

➞ In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Plan and review your current plan.

The availability of CCS depends on your plan:

Shopify Plus: CCS is automatically included.
Shopify Advanced: CCS is automatically included.
Shopify Grow: CCS is included if you’re on annual billing. If you’re on monthly billing, you can purchase it as an add-on.
Other plans (e.g., Basic): CCS is not available.

If you’re unsure, you can always confirm this by contacting Shopify Support.

If the shipping label downloads as blank (white)

This means that the shipment has not yet been created. A blank shipping label does not contain any information because Shipit has not generated it automatically.

Solution – check the following items:

App connection

Is the Shipit Delivery Checkout app connected to your Shopify store?

API details

Make sure the correct API key is entered in the Shipit Delivery Checkout App Settings.
Also ensure that Shopify’s Shipping and Delivery settings are configured correctly.

Customer details
When you open the order, check that the following details are present:

Address
Postal code
City
Phone number
Email

Automation settings

Which automation are you using? Do you need to fulfill the order before you can print the shipping label?
Check your current automation under Settings → Automation in the Shipit Delivery Checkout app.

CCS (Carrier Calculated Shipping) is a Shopify feature that allows shipping costs and delivery options to be calculated and displayed dynamically at checkout based on the carrier, delivery method, and order details.

CCS enables, for example:

Pickup point selection directly at the Shopify checkout
Shipping price calculation based on weight, dimensions, and destination
Real-time display of multiple shipping services at checkout

CCS is not available on the Shopify Basic plan. It is available on the Shopify Grow plan depending on Shopify’s billing model, and is included automatically on the Shopify Advanced and Shopify Plus plans.

CCS is not automatically activated in the Shipit app after upgrading your Shopify plan. To enable CCS in Shipit, you need to uninstall the Shipit app and then reinstall it in your Shopify store.

In most cases, CCS is activated immediately after reinstallation. However, in some individual cases, activation may take up to three days after the Shopify plan change.

Yes. You can create multiple delivery methods and define different prices, pickup points, and parcel sizes for each of them.

We recommend adding at least three different carriers’ delivery methods to your checkout so your customers can choose the option that best suits them. For one customer, the most important factor might be the location of a pickup point or locker; for another, the carrier itself; and for a third, the decision may be based on speed or price.

Having multiple delivery options at checkout improves the customer experience and increases the likelihood that customers will complete their purchase. Different customers have different needs: one prefers fast home delivery, another wants to pick up the parcel from a pickup point, and a third values the lowest possible delivery cost.

Better customer satisfaction – customers can choose the option that suits them best
Fewer abandoned carts – a single delivery option may cause customers not to place an order
Wider reach – in some regions or situations, only certain delivery methods may be available to the customer
Competitive advantage – offering a versatile range of delivery options adds professionalism and reliability to your store

Tip: You can set different rules for your delivery methods, such as free delivery for orders over €100 or limiting pickup points to lightweight shipments. This way, delivery becomes an even more effective part of your sales process.

Yes, you can use your own agreements through Shipit also in the Shopify app.

If you have your own customer number with, for example, Posti, Matkahuolto, DSV, or another carrier, you can add it in your Shipit account settings. After that, the app will use your contract rates for shipments.

If needed, you can contact Shipit’s customer service on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for more information.
