v1.4.0

​
Reliability & Import Improvements

  • Automatic Import Safety Net — If an import fails without creating any new zones, the app now automatically restores your previous zones. In the rare case the restore can’t finish, we email you so nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Semicolon Spreadsheets Just Work — Files that use semicolons (;) to separate columns — the default in European versions of Excel — now import automatically, with no conversion needed.
  • Accurate Zone & Rate Counts — The zone and rate counts shown in your import email and in the app now match Shopify exactly.
  • Smoother App Loading — Fixed an issue where the app could get stuck on a loading screen right after install.

Behind-the-Scenes Improvements

This release focused on internal stability and performance work to keep imports and exports running smoothly. There’s nothing new to learn — everything you rely on works exactly as before.

New Shipping Options

We’ve shipped a set of features to give you more control over your shipping rates.
  • Transit Time Support — Set delivery day ranges per rate using the new Transit Time Min Days and Transit Time Max Days columns. Values are validated as non-negative integers with min ≤ max before any change reaches Shopify; blank cells leave a rate’s transit time unset.
  • Free Shipping Thresholds — Set a minimum order amount that triggers free shipping using the new Free Min Order Amount column (e.g., 100.00 GBP). Above the threshold the rate is free; below it the normal price applies. Currency must match your store’s primary market.
  • Automatic Rate Grouping — Rates sharing the same name and zone are automatically grouped together during import as a single Shopify shipping option with tiers. No new column to learn — grouping is implicit. Tiers must be contiguous (e.g., 0–49.99, 50.00–99.99), use the same condition type and currency, and any open-ended top tier must be last. The importer rejects mismatches with a per-row error so you can fix the spreadsheet before anything reaches Shopify.
  • Better Validation Feedback — Per-row errors now appear inline in the import preview, with one bullet per offending row, so you can fix multiple issues in one pass.
These features are opt-in. Enable them in Settings → New Shipping Options. New columns are added to the downloadable example CSV when the toggle is on. With it off, your existing 13-column CSVs continue to work unchanged.

v1.1.0

​
Live Snapshot Architecture

We’ve completely rebuilt the app’s backend to be faster, more reliable, and easier to use:
  • No More Indexing — MatrixRates now uses a “Live Snapshot” architecture. This means the app fetches your rates directly from Shopify in real-time, eliminating the need for background indexing and synchronization.
  • Instant Exports — Exporting your rates is now significantly faster and always reflects the most up-to-date information in your store.
  • Simpler Workflow — We’ve streamlined the import and export screens to make it easier to manage your shipping profiles and locations.
