Use discounted amounts in rate requests
Automatically re-calculate landed cost when discounts are applied at checkout.
SHOPIFY PLUS ONLY
Due to the way Shopify's platform works, Zonos is only able to calculate landed cost when shipment rates are requested by the checkout. Because applying a discount code does not normally affect shipping rates, Shopify does not trigger a new rate request when a discount is applied. This means that Zonos does not receive the updated order total and cannot re-calculate landed cost.
If you are on Shopify Plus, the Zonos app can use Shopify's "Extensibility" feature to inject a script into the checkout that will trigger a new rate request when a discount is applied. This will allow Zonos to re-calculate landed cost and display the updated total to the customer, ensuring that what they see is always representitive of the final cost, including any discounts.
This is only possible on Shopify Plus because it requires the use of Shopify's Extensibility API, which is not available on regular Shopify plans.
