Overview
Onfleet allows you to provide delightful customer experiences, increase on-time deliveries and scale operations efficiently with the world’s most advanced fleet management platform. This article details how our integration with Onfleet works and provides help for getting setup.
Our Onfleet integration has been built to work seamlessly with our local delivery functionality. It's perfect for both scheduled and on-demand orders.
How it works
When the order is created within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery, we will automatically create two connected tasks within Onfleet. The first will be a pickup task that contains your bricks and mortar stores address. The second will be a delivery task that contains your customers home address.
Both tasks will contain your Shopify order number and the items ordered.
If your customer has left a comment in your themes "note" field we will also include that within both tasks.
Should you not require the creation of the pickup task you can disable it via the Onfleet integration settings page.
If you don't want the order to be sent to Onfleet automatically, you can turn on the create task in Onfleet when order is marked as "Ready for delivery" setting.
Tracking information
Once your order has been sent through to Onfleet we will automatically fulfill the order within Shopify and attach the Onfleet tracking number and url.
Order status updates are supported—when the order is in transit/completed, the status will change in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
