The most practical and free way to set up shipping integration on Shopify is to connect your store to a shipping integration platform like Basit Kargo. There is no fee for membership or integration, and the platform adds no commission on top of your shipping costs. You only pay the negotiated shipping rate for each parcel you send, and your orders are transferred automatically from Shopify.
Step by step: Shopify + Basit Kargo integration
- Create an account: Signing up with Basit Kargo takes about 10 minutes; membership is free.
- Connect your store: Go to the Integrations section, select Shopify, and authorize it with your store URL. Basit Kargo also works with WooCommerce, Wix, OpenCart, Magento, and PrestaShop, and offers REST API support.
- Load balance: Shipping fees are deducted from credit you load via bank transfer or credit card; you receive a single consolidated invoice at the end of each month.
- Start shipping: Orders are transferred automatically; tracking codes and barcodes are generated instantly, and your customers receive a personalized tracking page. You can display your company name, website, or Instagram handle as the sender.
Do I need to pay for the integration?
No. Basit Kargo itself is free and does not add any commission to shipping costs; the only amount you pay is the negotiated shipping rate for each shipment. At the time of writing, shipments of 0–4 desi (volumetric weight)/kg on the platform start at around 103 TL and 5 desi/kg shipments at around 154 TL (VAT included, varies by carrier) — noticeably below individual shipping rates. You start shipping at negotiated prices from day one, without having to chase down corporate agreements with individual shipping carriers. If you already have your own carrier agreement, you can add it to the platform as well.
On the Shopify side, there is no additional fee for integration either; the plan subscription you chose during store setup is sufficient. The one thing to keep in mind is that shipping is priced on a desi (volumetric weight) basis: the larger of your package's volumetric value and its physical weight is used as the basis; don't set cart shipping prices without knowing your products' average desi.
