Shopify notifications don’t include our app's details by default. You can update your order confirmation, shipping confirmation and new order email to include these details.
Your customers will get the order confirmation when the order is created, and shipping confirmation when the order is fulfilled in Shopify.
If you have already customized your Shopify email templates, you will need to manually update your emails using our Liquid variable reference guide. Alternatively, you can use an app like OrderlyEmails.
We recommend using Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery customer notifications and internal notifications, along with using our template for the Shopify order confirmation email.
How do customer facing email notifications work?
Shopify sends the order confirmation email when the order is made
Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery sends an email when the order is marked as ready for pickup/delivery
Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery sends an email when the order is marked as dispatched
Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery sends an email when the order is marked as picked up/delivered
Shopify sends shipping confirmation email when the order is fulfilled in Shopify (for delivery and shipping orders) if delivery notifications in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery are disabled
Learn more about Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery notifications in our Customer facing notifications article.
As Shopify no longer supports SMS template customizations, Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery is no longer compatible with SMS notifications. For more information, please take a look at Shopifys changelog.
How do internal email notifications work?
Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery sends:
New pickup order email
Updated pickup order email
New delivery order email
Updated delivery order email
Those can be modified or disabled in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Notifications. Please take a look at our Internal notifications article for more information.
