The K9 Butcher Case Study: Custom Shipping & Operations App
Custom application case study · The K9 Butcher
Custom Shipping & Operations App
Building shipping logic around products, origins and packaging requirements.
The business need
A pet-food business needs more than a single flat shipping rule when products ship from different origins and require different packaging or service conditions. The calculation must reflect the information actually available at checkout.
What RNR built
RNR developed a custom Shopify operations app with a shipping configuration screen and a rate-calculation engine for separate shipping origins.
- Origin-specific product and packaging rules.
- Box dimensions, weight limits and packaging allowances.
- Service, destination and dispatch-calendar configuration.
- Draft simulation of separate shipments and compatible combined options.
- Explicit configuration and review before a checkout rate callback can be enabled.
The purpose it serves
Create a configurable foundation for shipping decisions that reflects the business’s physical packing and origin requirements.
Project scope
The custom shipping engine was built for development testing. Carrier-account rates, merchant tariffs, packaging configuration and checkout validation are separate launch requirements.
