How to set up carrier methods

Carrier Methods are the shipping options shown at checkout. Each carrier method contains:

  • A name that customers see
  • A base rate
  • A minimum charge
  • Extra fees (surcharges)
  • Shipping time (ETA)
  • A DIM factor for calculating dimensional weight

Steps

  1. In Shopify Admin → open Apps → MP Advanced B2B Shipping
  2. Go to Carrier methods
  3. Click Add new method
  4. Fill in:
    • Display name: For example, “Express Delivery”
    • Code: Pre-filled, but you can edit
    • Status: Turn ON if you want customers to see it
  5. Enter Base rate (required)
  6. Add Min charge (optional)
  7. Turn ON Charges options to add surcharges
  8. Set:
    • ETA min/max
    • DIM factor (or use the global default)
  9. Click Save

For example:

  • Express Delivery
    • Base rate: $2.00 per BW (billable weight)
    • Min charge: $10.00
    • Extra handling: $3.00 surcharge

If an order’s billable weight = 3.5kg → Shipping = max(3.5kg x $2 = $7, Min charge $10) + $3 surcharge = $13

This is exactly how the app calculates fees at checkout.
