Rather than deleting a shipping rate permanently, Shopify allows you a better solution if you don’t want to show the rate to the customers. In other words, you have a choice to suspend the shipping rate.

This option has superior advantages over deleting the shipping rate because most of the rate information is preserved. Thanks to this, you find it easily to reinstate the rate when you want to use it again.

Below is a step-by-step guide for you.

Step 4: Set the range at 0 to 0

In this step, take notice of the range which allows you to type the minumum and the maximum of the values. To suspend any rate, you just need to adjust these values at 0 to 0. As you can see, I want the price-based rate to be preserved so I set the prices are all 0.
