Draft orders will not contain Zapiet Eats details by default. To make sure a draft order shows up in our app, you will need to add pickup or delivery details manually.
When creating draft orders, the pickup or delivery rate will not be added by default. You will need to manually create a custom rate.
Follow the Shopify Draft orders article to create a draft order for your customer. Add products, the customer information and a custom shipping rate. Then, you can add:
Pickup details
Within the draft order, click More actions and select Schedule order.
The order will now open in Zapiet Eats, and you'll be able to edit the details. Select Pickup as the checkout method and the desired pickup location.
When you select the location, date and time fields will appear. Select the desired pickup date and pickup time.
Click Save.
You should now be able to see the order in Zapiet Eats > Draft orders with the pickup details.
When you mark the order as paid in Shopify, it will become a regular order and show in Zapiet Eats > Orders.
Send an invoice
When you add the pickup address and a pickup rate to your draft order, the Complete your purchase link in the invoice email will lead your customers directly to the payment page, with the pickup address and the rate included.
Zapiet Eats does not create any rates in Shopify. You will need to add a custom shipping rate before you send the invoice, otherwise your customers will not be able to checkout.
Delivery details
Within the draft order, click More actions and select Zapiet Eats.
The order will now open in Zapiet Eats, and you'll be able to edit the details. Select Delivery as the checkout method and the desired delivery location.
When you select the location, date and time fields will appear. Select the desired delivery date and delivery time.
Click Save.
You should now be able to see the order in Zapiet Eats > Draft orders with the delivery details.
When you mark the order as paid in Shopify, it will become a regular order and show in Zapiet Eats > Orders.
Send an invoice
When you add the delivery address and a delivery rate to your draft order, the Complete your purchase link in the invoice email will lead your customers directly to the payment page, with the delivery address and the rate included.
Zapiet Eats does not create any rates in Shopify. You will need to add a custom shipping rate before you send the invoice, otherwise your customers will not be able to checkout.
Notes
Adding details
If the draft order has been marked as paid, add Zapiet Eats details to the real Shopify order created from this draft order, not the draft order.
Limitations
Adding Details
All additional rules will not be applied when adding details to draft orders (e.g. blackout dates, preparation times, daily product limits, stock availability)—all dates, times and locations will be available.
Sending an invoice
We cannot change the checkout wording for draft orders.
