How can I hide the Shipping Rates Calculator Plus widget?

It is possible to keep the widget hidden by default in order to avoid interference with your customer's loading process; the app will place a toggler so the customers can freely decide whether they want to see the widget or not. This can be achieved by going into "Advanced Preferences" and looking for "Toggler Accordion". By default, this option will be set to "Don't show toggler" and the widget will be displayed without the option to hide it:

If you want to show a toggler, you can select where you want the toggler to be displayed from these options:

Additionally, if you unchecked the "Show the app widget initially when the page loads" option, the widget will be hidden by default, only the toggler will be visible:
