How is this feature helping our brands ?
Problem / Need gap
Brands are increasingly being cognizant of showing exact ETD information to their users while optimizing for CoD , RTO and delivery costs. This has become table-stakes in the current environment given the logistics edge marketplaces have.
Native Shopify shipping doesn’t provide them with all these levers and apps on Shopify do not perform quite often.
This is what Shopflo shipping aim to solve for giving brands a one-stop location to manage all of their shipping and delivery strategies wrt the information and flows needed within a checkout
Quickstart on Shopflo Shipping
Sync and Manage extant Shopify rates
Sync your shopify rates under Shipping zones tab on your shopflo dashboard
You will start seeing your Shopify rates against all profiles created
Configure ETD against each rate and also mention whether CoD is applicable to each
Note: Please ensure you configure CoD against Shopify rates basis your old CoD settings. Once synced, we will be using this information to populate shipping details for users on checkout
Create Pin-code specific rates
If your brand strategy is to:
Have different rates for specific pincodes
Allow CoD only for certain pincodes
You can use Shopflo rates to configure these
Example use-case: Brand wants to open Express delivery for Bangalore pincodes
Create Rate and assign the name to it - Pls note this name will show up on your checkout
Add price range in which this rate applies
Mention the rate price
Add pincodes against which this rate apply
Mention ETD and CoD configs against the rate once created as you had done for your Shopify rates
ETD Pannel
COD Config Pannel
Important: Pls note that the ETD configured against the rate will be the one by default. If you have different ETDs against each pincode within the rate, make sure to add the information in the CSV being uploaded. The sample format can be found on your dashboard
Note: If any changes are made to rates in Shopify, please be sure to come and sync the same on your Shopflo dashboard for all handles / rates to continue working smoothly
