About the Shipping Rates Service Plugin

As a shipping provider, you can integrate with Wix to allow a merchant's stores or businesses to request and use your shipping services on their Wix sites. Your shipping rates are then displayed on the site's cart and checkout pages.

The integration is done via an app in the Wix App Market and by implementing the Shipping Rates service plugin. After the app is installed on a site, Wix triggers a call to your service whenever the site needs to retrieve shipping rates for a transaction.

Using the service plugin, you can design your app to:

  • Provide shipping estimates, including fees and times.
  • Provide shipping rates using your own custom logic.
  • Provide services for delivery and pickup.
