Cancelled orders in Shopify will also be cancelled in Stuart.
You can set up delivery validation within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery if you would like to limit the delivery radius.
Once the customer places an order, the request is sent to Stuart right away. However, the courier will pick up the order closer to the time the customer selected in the widget.
If your customer orders today for tomorrow at 3pm, the courier will collect the order next day before 3pm so they can deliver the order on time.
For express deliveries, contact Stuart to discuss the time they need to pick up and deliver an order.
You can use the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery preparation time to set up a delay between the time your customers are ordering and the first slot they can select in the widget (for example, 30 minutes.)
Limitations
Customers cannot use third-party sales channels such as Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest.
Stuart doesn't differentiate between on-demand and express deliveries. Customer can select the next available delivery date and time in the calendar and all the orders will be scheduled on-demand.
Troubleshooting
Ensure you are using the correct client ID and client secret—if you receive your keys through email, make sure it is not the encrypted password.
Add a Contact name and Contact phone number to all locations Stuart 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.
Sandbox
You need to be on the Pro plan or higher with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.
A Sandbox endpoint needs to be activated from our end.
Contact [email protected] to activate the Stuart Sandbox integration on your store.
