ShippingIQ is an Australian-built freight rate calculator for Shopify and WooCommerce stores. Instead of relying on a third-party carrier network with marked-up prices, merchants upload the rate card and zone file their own carrier (Allied Express, Hunter Express, StarTrack, Mainfreight or any regional operator) already gave them. ShippingIQ's AI reads that rate card — CSV, Excel, or on the Pro plan a PDF, including messy legacy layouts with merged cells — and extracts zones, weight breaks and surcharges automatically. Those rates are then served live at checkout via a Shopify or WooCommerce plugin, so customers see accurate freight cost instead of a flat estimate. Merchants can layer on free-shipping thresholds, surcharge triggers, a display mode, and a margin on top of their carrier cost. The dashboard also works standalone, without a connected store, for quoting phone orders or wholesale freight. ShippingIQ never touches or marks up the underlying carrier pricing — it stays exactly what the merchant negotiated.
Key Features
AI rate card parsing — Reads carrier rate cards in CSV or Excel (Free plan) or PDF (Pro plan), including messy legacy formats with merged cells, and automatically extracts zones, weight breaks and surcharges.
Live checkout freight quotes — Shows accurate, carrier-specific freight cost at Shopify and WooCommerce checkout, calculated from the merchant's own negotiated rate card rather than a marked-up third-party rate.
Standalone quote tool — A dashboard-based freight calculator that works without a connected storefront, for quoting phone orders or wholesale freight.
Free shipping rules — Configurable free-shipping thresholds with 'Smart' or 'Always Free' modes, plus product-tag exemptions for bulky items.
Surcharge and margin controls — Rules that apply carrier surcharges based on weight or order thresholds, plus an adjustable freight margin layered on top of the base carrier rate.
Any-carrier support — Works with any carrier that issues a rate card and zone file, including regional carriers with no API, with manual postcode-range entry as a fallback.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Uses the merchant's own negotiated carrier rates with no platform markup
AI reads messy CSV, Excel, or PDF rate cards automatically, including merged cells and inconsistent formats
Genuine free plan (1 carrier, 100 checkout quotes/month) with no credit card required to start
Works with any carrier that issues a rate card, not just major national names
Dashboard can be used standalone for phone or wholesale quotes without a connected storefront
Cons
PDF rate card conversion is gated to the Pro plan; free plan only accepts CSV/Excel
Free plan is limited to a single carrier and one connected store, which will be restrictive for multi-carrier or multi-store merchants
Currently focused on the Australian carrier market, so international/multi-country freight coverage is unclear
As a small, newer vendor it lacks the established track record of larger shipping-rate platforms
