It is possible to add the real-time carrier feature by:

Upgrading to Advanced Shopify or Shopify Plus
Change Shopify billing cycle to "Yearly"
Add feature to existing plan for an $20/month

Options 2 and 3 require contacting Shopify Support

Usage

CustomShip works by creating custom shipping rates that are restricted to certain orders using "Limits" and "Filters". These limits and filters are user specified rules that give you fine grained control on your shipping charges.

Limits

Limits are simple conditions that allow you to restrict your rates based on weight or cost. When specifying limits, always use the lowest unit of your currency and weight system. Cents for US, pence for UK, etc.

This image shows how a user can limit a rate by specifying minimum and/or maximum weight and price.

Filters

Filters allow you to further restrict your shipping rates by checking if a field matches against a value.

The following image shows how you can specify the field you want to search on (Field), the type of matching available (Verb), and the value that you want to match (Value).

Note: You are able to specify any number of filters but they will be compounded, meaning that all filters must match in order to apply the rate.

Fields

The fields available that you are able to restrict on are:

Address line 1
Address line 2
City
State/Province
Country
Zip/Postal Code
Company Name
Product Name
Product SKU
Vendor Name

Verbs

Verbs are the specifying conditions on how to match a Value to a Field

The following list of verbs are available:

Verb	Description
Equal	Matches when Field = Value
Include	Matches when Field contains Value
Exclude	Matches when Field does not contain Value
Start with	Matches if Field starts with Value
End with	Matches if Field ends with Value
Regex	Regular expressions are a syntax for specifying text patterns. They can be used to match complex string patterns. More info here.

Note: When using any Product Field (Product Name/Product SKU/Vendor Name) you have the option of matching if ALL items in the cart meet this filter, or if only 1 item in the cart needs to match.

Values

The value specified here will be matched with the Field specified according to the Verb specified

Additional Cost Per Item

Additional Costs Per Item allows you to add flat costs to specific items. They rely on the same Field, Verb, Value pattern as filters and has two extra parameters:

Parameter	Description
Price	The additional flat price to add if the criteria matches
After N items	Specifies the minimum quantity number before applying the additional cost
