Rename shipping methods at checkout

Use a ShipWith rule to rename Shopify shipping methods by changing the title of existing delivery methods shown at checkout.

Add a rename action

1. Open the shipping rule you want to use, or create a new rule.
2. Under Actions, select Rename delivery method(s).
3. In Delivery method titles, enter part or all of a delivery method title or handle, then press Enter. Add more targets if needed.
4. In New title, enter the title that customers should see.
5. Set Status to Live.
6. Select Save.
7. In the Shopify sync section, wait for Status to become Synced.

ShipWith compares each target with both the delivery method title and handle. Matching is case-insensitive and can match any part of either value. For example, express can match a title such as “Express Shipping” or a handle such as carrier-express.

If one action matches more than one delivery method, every matched method gets the same New title. Create separate rename actions with different targets if the methods need different titles.

How multiple actions and rules interact

Actions run in the order shown. Active rules that use the same Function input run in priority order, with lower Priority numbers first.

The first successful rename of a delivery method wins across those ordered actions and rules. A later rename does not replace it. If a later action hides that delivery method, ShipWith removes its pending rename because the method will not be shown.

Ignore previous rules resets earlier effects, including pending renames and hidden methods. Actions and rules after that reset can rename the method again. Do not rely on priority to order rules that use different Function inputs because Shopify does not guarantee their order.

Carrier names in checkout

Shopify may prepend a carrier name to a renamed title. That carrier name cannot be changed or removed by the rename action. For example, when Shopify supplies UPS as the carrier name and New title is Standard Shipping, checkout may show UPS Standard Shipping.

Test the rename at checkout

Test both a matching and a non-matching checkout after the rule is Live, saved, and Synced.

Test a matching checkout

1. Add products and quantities that meet the rule's conditions.
2. Enter customer and delivery details that meet any customer or address conditions.
3. Continue to the checkout step that shows delivery methods.
4. Check every delivery group.
5. Confirm that every targeted method has the expected title and that untargeted methods keep their original titles.

Test a non-matching checkout

1. Change one relevant checkout detail so the rule's conditions do not match.
2. Return to the checkout step that shows delivery methods.
3. Check every delivery group again.
4. Confirm that the rule does not rename any methods.

Shopify evaluates each delivery group independently, and each group has its own delivery methods. A target can match in one group and not another, so check the matching and non-matching results in every group.
