Does the Bird app integrate with carrier-calculated shipping rates?
Yes, the Bird app fully integrates with carrier-calculated shipping (CCS) rates.
To turn on CCS, go to Bird App → Rates section. Scroll down to the Rates Engine section. Switch to Bird Rates with CCS and save your settings.
You have two rate options: Bird Rates and Bird Rates with CCS. You can also run local delivery and shipping rates through the Bird app. However, you must use our app to configure pickup rates because Shopify's built-in store pickup creates conflicts and customer confusion when both Shopify's native pickup settings are enabled.
The app automatically handles weight conversions when CCS is enabled. Weights configured in kilograms convert to grams automatically.
Check your Shopify plan compatibility:
- Starter and Basic plans - CCS not supported
- Shopify and Advanced plans - CCS can be enabled
- Plus plans - CCS fully supported
Once CCS is enabled in your Shopify settings, your Bird app rates will work immediately. The integration provides the same reliability as Shopify's native rates with enhanced customization options.
Important for subscription apps: CCS is required for integrating Bird Pickup & Delivery with subscription apps because subscription orders only accept the cheapest available rate.
