Trexity provides a last-mile delivery service for your local delivery orders.
To automatically send your orders to Trexity, we recommend connecting your Trexity account to Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
Requirements
You need to be on the Essential plan or higher with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery
Your store must be located in Canada.
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 Trexity account and API key.
Contact your Trexity account manager and ask them for an API key to use with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
You must have the delivery date and time picker enabled within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
Enable this in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Local Delivery.

Within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery, open Settings and click Last mile delivery.
Click Activate Trexity.
Enter your Trexity API key and click Activate Trexity.
Trexity has now been activated—to finish setting up, you need to configure your settings.

Not all locations need to be selected if you're using more than one delivery service.
For all ticked locations, you need to add a contact name and a valid contact phone number.

Orders should now be sent to Trexity when they are created. If you are creating test orders, make sure your pickup and delivery addresses are different.

Use Trexity rates

You can customize the rate name, and add a description if needed.
If you would like to offer free delivery over a certain value:

Your local delivery rates will only be generated by Trexity now. If you are creating test orders, make sure your pickup and delivery addresses are different.
Use Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates
If you're not using Trexity for rates, the phone number field in the checkout should be a required section.
You can set this in Shopify admin > Checkout > Customer information.

Configure the settings.
You can change the price for delivery, the rate name, or add a third-party carrier.
For more information you can take a look at our charging for delivery article.

Notes
For any questions about the rate value, please contact Trexity support—we only show the rates they generate.
Canceled orders in Shopify will also be canceled in Trexity.
Limitations:
Customers cannot use Express checkout methods or a third-party sales channel such as Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest.
Troubleshooting
Trexity will reject orders with customer numbers coming from outside of North America (e.g. UK numbers). When the order is rejected, you will receive a delivery creation failed email (on the support email you provided in the settings).
Solution: manually enter the delivery in your merchant portal using a different number than the one provided by your customer (e.g. the store phone number).
Ensure you are using the correct API key.
Add a Contact name and Contact phone number to all locations Trexity handles deliveries for.
Add a support email address to get notifications about failed orders.
If you are testing rates, make sure to use different pickup and delivery addresses.
