How to add a custom shipping method for Shopify

Learn how to set custom shipping methods

Updated over 4 months ago

If you use a third-party service to manage the shipment/fulfillment of your orders and need to assign a specific “Shipping method” to them so they are properly identified. You are on the correct article.

You can define a “Custom shipping method” so you can benefit from the one-click order features.

How does it work?

In your account settings > Integration, you have the possibility to add a "custom shipping method". To do so, click on the three small dots at the end of the line of the integration of your choice and click on "Shipping settings". This will allow you to access your integration settings.

This will open a modal in which will contain two methods to customize shipping for the orders created from Upfluence:

  • Name: Custom shipping method name to be assigned to orders. This value replaces the name of the default shipping method to easily identify the orders created from Upfluence.

  • Shipping Rate Handle: Unique reference to target a specific shipping method.

💡 If you have multiple Shopify stores integrated, you can set a different custom shipping method for each integration.

Shipping Name

To define a Shipping Name, select the "Name" section and assign the value of your choice. Click on "Save" to confirm the modification.

Shipping Rate Handle

To define a Shipping Name, select the "Shipping Rate Handle" section.

Then, on Shopify, go to your settings and select "Shopping and delivery". Select the shipping rate of your choice.

Scroll down until your access the "Shipping origins" section and you are now able to see the list of shipping rates.

Copy the value of the rate name your want to apply to your Upfluence orders. In this example, we will use the "FedEx USA" rate.


Go back to Upfluence and paste this value in the "Shipping rate handle" field. Click on save to validate your choice. Your shipping method is now modified.

How to test?

Create an order from one of your campaign and access your Shopify store to view your order list. Once the order appear on Shopify, you should see your Shipping method assigned to your order.
