Good to know:

  • *You can either charge your customers a pre-calculated Fixed Rate or a Real-Time Rate at checkout. Real-Time Rates are shipping options based on live rates received from the couriers. Fixed Rates allow you to specify a fixed shipping rate according to your customer’s South African postcode.
  • uAfrica Shipping Rates (both Fixed and Real-Time Rates) are supported if you have a Shopify store. However, “Third-Party Carrier-Calculated Shipping Rates” must be enabled on your Shopify admin. Please contact Shopify to have this feature enabled.
  • If you would like some help on how to set up your Fixed or Real-Time Rates on uAfrica, please consult our Knowledge Base > Shipping Rates.
  • Fixed Rates can also be set up on Shopify (Shipping & Delivery) directly.
  • If Shopify is your primary channel, you can set up a secondary channel to push your products to.
  • If your Shopify store is your secondary channel, uAfrica will capture the order and that order will be recreated on your primary channel. No further actions will occur.
