Custom Shopify Shipping App with Price & Currency Rules

Problem Statement

Our client is facing challenges with the shipping configuration in Shopify. By default, Shopify allows all products to proceed to shipping without any price restrictions. However, the client requires a minimum order value of $20 USD to enable shipping. If the cart value is below this amount, checkout should be turned off until the condition is met.

In addition, the client needs a customizable option to enable or disable checkout based on these rules. The application must also automatically convert and display the minimum order value in the customer’s local currency based on their location.

For example, customers in India should see prices in INR, while customers in Kuwait should see KWD. The currency must be dynamically displayed based on the user’s geographic location to ensure a localised shopping experience.

Challenges

• Shopify does not natively support minimum order value restrictions for shipping.

• Turning checkout on or off dynamically based on cart value requires customisation.

• Displaying the correct minimum order value in the customer’s local currency (INR, KWD, etc.) based on location was complex.

• Ensuring a smooth user experience without interrupting the checkout flow.

Solution

Based on the client’s requirements, we developed a Custom Shopify Shipping App. The app enforces a minimum cart value of $20 USD before allowing checkout. If the condition is not met, checkout is automatically turned off, and customers are prompted to add more items.

The solution includes:

• A toggle to turn checkout rules on or off.

• Dynamic currency conversion based on the user’s geographic location.

• Automatic display of the minimum order value in the customer’s local currency.

• Seamless integration with Shopify’s checkout process.

• This fully customised app solved all the client’s shipping and pricing challenges.

Benefits

• Prevents low-value orders from proceeding to checkout.

• Improves revenue by encouraging higher cart values.

• Provides a localised shopping experience with auto currency conversion.

• Gives the client complete control over shipping and checkout rules.

• Enhances user experience with transparent pricing and restrictions.
