Activate & Connect
After completing module installation, you must verify its registration, activate your license key, and enable the shipping carrier in store configuration before administrative features and storefront rates become active.
Mage Table Rate Admin Dashboard Icon Visibility
By default, the Mage Table Rate dashboard icon will not be visible in the Magento Admin left navigation bar immediately after installation. The icon and menu options appear only after completing two required steps:
- Module License Verification under Stores → Configuration → Webkul → Module License.
- Enabling the Shipping Method under Stores → Configuration → Sales → Delivery Methods → Webkul Mage Table Rate Shipping Method.
Step 1: Verify Module Status via CLI
Before logging into the admin panel, confirm that the Webkul_MageTableRate module is registered and enabled in Magento core via the CLI:
php bin/magento module:status Webkul_MageTableRate
If the module is listed as disabled, enable it and update your store:
php bin/magento module:enable Webkul_MageTableRate --clear-static-content
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush
Step 2: License Verification
The module requires a verified license key before it can be activated in your Magento store:
- Log in to your Magento Admin Panel.
- In the left admin menu, navigate to Stores → Configuration.
- In the left panel under the Webkul tab, click Module License.
- In the Licensed Modules section, locate the Mage Table Rate Shipping entry.
- Notice that the initial status displays as UNVERIFIED.
- Enter your valid License Key (obtained from your Webkul store account) into the Enter license key field.
- Click the Save & Verify button.

- Once verified successfully, the module status updates to verified, validating your installation.
Where to Find Your License Key
You can retrieve your extension license key by logging into your Webkul Account and visiting My Account → My Purchased Products.
Step 3: Enable the Shipping Method in Store Configuration
After completing license verification, you must enable the shipping method from the Magento store delivery settings to activate the rate engine and reveal the admin dashboard icon:
- In the Magento Admin Panel, navigate to Stores → Configuration.
- In the left navigation panel, expand Sales and select Delivery Methods.
- Locate and click to expand the Webkul Mage Table Rate Shipping Method (or Webkul MageTableRate Shipping) section.
- Set Enabled to Yes.
- Adjust any general carrier parameters if needed (e.g., Title, Method Name, Ship to Applicable Countries).
- Click the orange Save Config button in the top-right corner.
- Flush the Magento cache:
php bin/magento cache:flush
Carrier Settings Details
For a detailed breakdown of all carrier configuration fields and calculation dimensions, refer to the Carrier Settings guide.
Step 4: Access Admin Menu Navigation
Once the license is verified and the carrier is enabled in Delivery Methods, the MAGE TABLE RATE icon becomes active and visible in the Magento Admin left navigation bar:
- Refresh your admin page or navigate to any admin section.
- Locate the MAGE TABLE RATE icon in the main left sidebar navigation.
- Click the menu to view the management options:
- Webkul Table Rate Shipping: Opens the table rate rules management grid to create, edit, and filter shipping rules.

Step 5: Configure Admin ACL Permissions
If your store utilizes custom or restricted administrative roles, grant access to the Mage Table Rate resources:
- In the admin panel, navigate to System → Permissions → User Roles.
- Select the role you wish to configure (e.g., Shipping Managers).
- Under Role Resources, set Resource Access to Custom and ensure the following resources are checked:
- Mage Table Rate (
Webkul_MageTableRate::menu) - Webkul Table Rate Shipping (
Webkul_MageTableRate::tableratelisting) - Configuration Settings (
Webkul_MageTableRate::config) - Support (
