Our conditional activation feature allows you to enable or disable shipping depending on:

  • The order value or weight

  • The product type, collection, vendor, or tags

By default, we show the error message when the method isn't available, but you can also hide the shipping method entirely.

For general instructions, take a look at our Conditional activation article.


Order value or weight

You can enable or disable shipping depending on the order value or weight.

For example, if you want to disable shipping for order values less than £100, you would set it up as below:

Customers that have less than £100 in the cart will not be able to check out with shipping.

You can edit the wording of this message in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Text & design > Shipping widget.


Product type

You can enable or disable shipping based on the product type. You can read more about product types in the Shopify Product type article.

  1. In Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Shipping, under Conditional activation, select Product type from the dropdown menu in the first field.

  2. In the second field, add the name of the product type, e.g. Truffles.
    Values added here are case-sensitive, so make sure the value matches your product type exactly.

  3. In the last field, you can select to disable or enable shipping for this product type.
    Select Disable to make shipping unavailable if one product with that product type is in the cart.
    Select Enable to make shipping only available if all products in the cart have that product type.

  4. Click Save.


For example, I want to disable shipping for product type Truffles.

When you add the correct values, the text below should read: If the customer's basket contains a product with the type "Truffles" disable shipping.

These changes will now reflect in the widget, and shipping will be disabled if a product with this product type is in the cart. Your customers will see an error message saying: Sorry, shipping is not available for your selected items.

The wording of this error message can be edited in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Text & design > Shipping Widget.

By default, we show the error message when the method isn't available, but you can also hide the shipping method entirely.


Collection

Requirements

  • You need to use our widget in the regular cart (this option will not work reliably in the drawer cart)

  • You can only use manually created collections (not automatic ones)

  • You cannot use special characters like "&" in the name of the collection as they are not supported

You can enable or disable shipping based on the manually created collection. You can read more about collections in the Shopify Collections article.

  1. In Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Shipping, under Conditional activation, select Collection from the dropdown menu in the first field.

  2. In the second field, add the name of the manual collection, e.g. Truffles.
    Values added here are case-sensitive, so make sure the value matches your collection exactly.

  3. In the last field, you can select to disable or enable shipping for this collection.
    Select Disable to make shipping unavailable if one product from that collection is in the cart.
    Select Enable to make shipping only available if all products in the cart are from that collection.

  4. Click Save.

For example, I want to disable shipping for a manual collection Truffles.

When you add the correct values, the text below should read: If a customer's basket contains a product from the "Truffles" collection disable shipping.

These changes will now reflect in the widget, and shipping will be disabled if a product from this collection is in the cart. Your customers will see an error message saying: Sorry, shipping is not available for your selected items.

The wording of this error message can be edited in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Text & design.

By default, we show the error message when the method isn't available, but you can also hide the shipping method entirely.


Vendor

You can enable or disable shipping based on the vendor. You can read more about vendors in the Shopify Product details article.

  1. In Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Shipping, under Conditional activation, select Vendor from the dropdown menu in the first field.

  2. In the second field, add the name of the vendor, e.g. Warehouse.
    Values added here are case-sensitive, so make sure the value matches your collection exactly.

  3. In the last field, you can select to disable or enable shipping for this vendor.
    Select Disable to make shipping unavailable if one product from that vendor is in the cart.
    Select Enable to make shipping only available if all products in the cart are from that vendor.

  4. Click Save.

For example, I want to disable shipping for products from a vendor Warehouse.

When you add the correct values, the text below should read: If a customer's basket contains a product with the vendor "Warehouse" disable shipping.

These changes will now reflect in the widget, and shipping will be disabled if a product from this vendor is in the cart. Your customers will see an error message saying: Sorry, shipping is not available for your selected items.

The wording of this error message can be edited in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Text & design.

By default, we show the error message when the method isn't available, but you can also hide the shipping method entirely.


Tags

Requirements

  • You need to use a regular cart (this option will not work reliably in the drawer cart)

You can enable or disable shipping based on the tag. You can read more about tags and how to add them to your products in Shopify Add tags article.

  1. In Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Shipping, under Conditional activation, select Tags from the dropdown menu in the first field.

  2. In the second field, add the tag, e.g. Flowers.
    Values added here are case-sensitive, so make sure the value matches the tag exactly.

  3. In the last field, you can select to disable or enable shipping for this collection.
    Select Disable to make shipping unavailable if one product with this tag is in the cart.
    Select Enable to make shipping only available if all products in the cart have this tag.

  4. Click Save.

You need to use a regular cart (this option will not work reliably in the drawer cart).

For example, I want to disable shipping for products tagged with Flowers.

When you add the correct values, the text below should read: If a customer's basket contains a product with the tag “Flowers” disable shipping.

These changes will now reflect in the widget, and shipping will be disabled if a product with this tag is in the cart. Your customers will see an error message saying: Sorry, shipping is not available for your selected items.

The wording of this error message can be edited in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Text & design.

By default, we show the error message when the method isn't available, but you can also hide the shipping method entirely.


Display the tags on the cart page

We do not highlight which products cause shipping to be disabled. If you would like to show which products are available for shipping depending on the tag, please follow our guide on how to display tags on the cart page.


Hide the shipping method based on conditional activation

Requirements

If you want to hide the shipping method based on conditional activation, tick Hide the Shipping button in the widget.

With this setting enabled, the shipping method will be fully hidden at the cart page for the selected products.
