When you enable multiple shipping locations, you can opt to let customers choose between Sherpa and other shipping options. You can now customise the labels and descriptions of those options at cart.
When you have multiple pickup locations enabled, you can now customise the messaging on the popup to better manage customer expectations. We’ve also added the option to let customers skip item removal.
To enable merchants more control over how Sherpa is integrated, we’ve added an option to hide Sherpa at checkout, even when multiple locations is enabled. The app will only show Sherpa rates at checkout only if at least one location is in range of the customer AND all the items in that order are available at that location.
Note: The date calendar and driver notes features are also disabled with this option.
Sherpa offers discounted rates for customers with 20+ orders per day. If you have bulk rates enabled on your account, delivery windows shown at checkout will now match times set up in your Sherpa account.
Don’t wish to show Sherpa delivery options for orders with specific products? We’ve introduced the SHERPA-EXCLUDE tag. Add this tag to products you do not wish to offer delivery by Sherpa.
If an order contains at least one item with the SHERPA-EXCLUDE tag, the Sherpa shipping options will not be shown at cart, or as a shipping option at checkout.
Due to Shopify’s multi-origin shipping rules, if your Shopify store is setup with multiple locations, you must select “Shopify store with multiple active locations”. When you choose custom, you can now select and manage the locations you wish to use Sherpa for delivery.
A note of caution when specifying only one active location
Only select “Shopify store with one active location“, option if you have only one store location.
Shopify have recently turned multi-origin shipping on by default. While this is a fantastic option for those merchants who’re happy for their order fulfillment to be split, orders logged with Sherpa can only be delivered from one pickup location per order.
To avoid Shopify automatically splitting Sherpa fulfillment, if you have more than one active Shopify location select ‘Shopify store with multiple active locations’.
Failing to do so will lead to some orders not being fulfilled by Sherpa.
