How to enable a third-party shipping in Shopify?
In Shopify any app that provides calculated shipping rates (including Calcurates app) is qualified as third-party carrier-calculated shipping. It doesn’t matter if there are rates provided by the carrier (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc) or custom made rates that you can configure with Calcurates app. In both cases you still need this feature.

Once you installed Calcurates app to your Shopify store and enter it you might see this warning message in the left menu:
Enable third-party carrier-calculated shipping on your Shopify store to display rates in your checkout
The Calcurates app can’t display shipping rates without this feature provided by Shopify.
To activate the third-party carrier-calculated shipping, your store needs to be on the Grow yearly, Advanced or Plus plan. If you're on the Grow monthly plan, then you can add this feature for a monthly fee or switch from monthly to yearly billing.
Starting January 1, 2023, stores on the Shopify Starter and Basic plans will no longer be able to request access to the Carrier Service API.
Learn more about Third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates in Shopify Help Center or contact Shopify Support. There are three options available to add Third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates to your Shopify plan:

The feature can be added to your monthly subscription on the Grow plan for an additional fee. We recommend contact Shopify Support to check it with them.
