Shopify-nShift-Checkout

nShift Integration – for Delivery Checkout addon

This Shopify nShift App is the will let you use nShift Delivery Checkout addon for providing your customers with pickup location services and different shipping rates on the store checkout page.

This integration will sync shipping details from Shopify store to your nShift Delivery account. You can let the sync happen automatically and instantly when an order is received in Shopify store, or you can choose to control everything manually. The integration supports all major transportation companies and carrier services that are available in nShift Delivery.

How does the app work?

When a new order is placed in your Shopify store, Shopify webhook will notify Uniwin App about this event. If Automatic Sync is enabled in the app, this event will immediately trigger sync of the order details from the store to your nShift Delivery account. It means, within a few seconds after the order is placed, you will be able to find a shipping label inside your nShift Delivery. If you don’t enable Automatic Sync, you can go to the Manual Sync tab on the app and manually trigger the sync from Shopify to nShift Delivery.

Coming Soon Feature: Each carrier service retrieved through Delivery Checkout addon can be associated with separate and unique Printing Favorites in nShift Delivery for maximum automatization possibility.

How do I print the labels from the Shopify order view?

In orders preview page, there is an option for Print label(See Screenshot).

How to print a INVALID status label?

Advanced Mapping is when you associate a Shopify Shipping Option with a Printing Favorite in Pacsoft Online. Simple Mapping is when associate a Shopify Shipping Option with a carriers service using the drop down selection menu. A valid shipping label that is ready to print contains all necessary variables. When you use the Simple Mapping some of those necessary variables are not filled in, so the label will have status INVALID. You have to then open the shipping label by clicking the small arrow sign near the label and fill in the missing values for finalizing the shipping label. Then you can print it.

Unifaun application automatically sets every order to status "Open", How can I stop?

When tracking is enabled, our app sets the status to open. The usage of tracking in our app is causing this. If the tracking method is set to None, our app will not change the status.

How to limit the pickup points in the checkout section?

We can limit the pickup points by specifying the custom value in the below settings in our Unifaun Rest API app. Further, the specified number of pickup points only will display for every service in your checkout section.

I get status INVALID on shipping labels

When you are mapping a Shopify shipping option (for instance Standard Shipping) to a carrier service (for instance DHL Express) then there are several values necessary to make the label VALID, and those values are obviously not set. So map your Shopify shipping option to a Unifaun Printing Favorite to get a VALID label. You find video guide and written PDF instruction on our website.
