Learn how to edit the notice displayed to your Shopify customers when there are no shipping rates available to them.

If a customer tries to place an order for an item which doesn’t have any rates attached to it, they will see this default error message: “There are no shipping methods available for your cart or address”. If you’d like, you can change the wording of this message, and others.

We'll show you how in the guide below.
