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.
Requirements
You need to be on the Essential plan or higher with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery
Your store will need access to the Carrier Service API, and Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery will need to be added as a carrier to your domestic shipping profile
You must have an active Onfleet account and API key
Contact your Onfleet account manager and ask them for an API key to use with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery
You must have our delivery date and time picker enabled
Enable this in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Local Delivery
Delivery slots must be at least an hour long (e.g. 9:00AM-10:00AM, 2:00PM-5:00PM)
Please ensure that you have marked “Shipping address phone number” as a required field in Shopify Admin > Checkout.
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 customer's 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.
If you do 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 the order is marked as “Ready for delivery” setting.
Tracking information
Once your order has been sent through to Onfleet we will automatically fulfil 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.
