You can offer free pickup or charge for it depending on the location, price, and weight.

Our latest rates feature allows merchants to use Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates without needing access to Shopify Carrier Service API. Take a look at our Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates article for more details.

Only proceed with this article if, because of the limitations of our newest rates feature, you need to use our rates with the Carrier Service API.


Requirements

  • You need to have the Carrier Service API enabled on your Shopify plan
    You can read more about this in our Shopify Carrier Service API guide

  • All physical products need to be marked as This product requires shipping in Shopify.

To select your pricing policy, open Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery and click Rates.

Add rates

Price-based rates

Price-based rates depend upon the customers' order total price. You can use them to offer different pickup rates or free pickups over a certain price.

You will need to use either Pickups are priced the same for all locations or Pickup pricing varies per location.

  1. Click Add price based rate.

  2. Add a rate name.

  3. Set minimum and maximum order prices for this rate.

  4. Set the price for the rate.
    You can either tick Free pickup rate or add a rate amount.

  5. Click Create.

  6. Repeat until you have created all rates and click Save.
    If you have a minimum order total for pickup, you can also use conditional activation to set this rule (for example, you only offer pickup over $10).

Your rates have been saved and will now show.


Weight-based rates

Weight-based rates depend upon the customers' order total weight. You can use them to offer different pickup rates or free pickups for a certain weight range.

You will need to use either Pickups are priced the same for all locations or Pickup pricing varies per location.

  1. Click Add weight based rate.

  2. Add a rate name.

  3. Set the minimum and maximum weight for this rate.

  4. Set the price for the rate.
    You can either tick free pickup rate or add a rate amount.

  5. Rename the rate if needed and click Save.

  6. Repeat until you have created all rates and click Save.
    If you have a minimum or maximum order total weight for pickup, you can also use conditional activation to set this rule (for example, no store pickup for orders over 20KG).

Your rates have been saved and will now show.


Limitations

  • You cannot create negative rates.
    If you want to create discounts for store pickup, please check out our Store pickup discount code article.

  • If you are using price-based rates, Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery calculates the pickup rate based on the order total before any discounts have been applied.

    This is because the post-discount cart total is not available via the Shopify Carrier Service API—it is a Shopify limitation. We recommend adjusting your rates accordingly.

    If you would like to see this implemented in the future, you can contact Shopify support in order to report this as a feature request.
