iPacky supports local pickup and local delivery. If you’re offering local delivery, please specify the zone names in Settings→Advanced→Local pickup titles. Read more below.
Local pickup
The local pickup support in iPacky means that you can check a local pickup order, and then have iPacky set it to “Ready for pickup”.
iPacky can also print out labels, so you can mark the packed items. This makes it easy to locate the packed order when the customer comes to pick it up.
If you are fulfilling the orders before iPacky (Settings→General→Orders are fulfilled before iPacky), you must specify the local pickup titles in Settings→Advanced→Local pickup titles. This ensures that iPacky will understand that the local pickup orders are not fulfilled before iPacky. If it’s not identified by iPacky as a local pickup, the text you have entered is most likely wrong. It’s usually the text that comes up in checkout when selecting local pickup. If you have local delivery, also add the zone name here.
To make sure that the local pickup orders are set to “Ready for pickup” after checking the order in iPacky, you must set the Fulfillment rules.
- Open Dashboard→Tools→Fulfillment rules.
- In the new line, you specify the shipping text of the pickup location. This can be seen in Shopify shipment texts on that page. Just select the Shopify shipment text you want to use, click Copy to clipboard, and then paste in into the shipping text of the new line.
- Select Ready for pickup in the Fulfill drop-down.
- Click on the + at the beginning of the line to add it.
- Click Save.
You have now specified that orders with this shipping text will be marked as Ready for pickup. The customer will also be notified that the order is ready for pickup. The setup of this notification is done in Shopify.
If you have multiple pickup locations, you must add one line for each pickup location.
You can also have iPacky print out a label for this order to mark it. See below .
Local delivery/pickup label
This feature makes it possible to print out labels to put on parcels for local delivery, or parcels for pickup. It will be printed on standard shipping labels (4×6 inches/102×152 mm).
In the Actions menu in the order check, it will show a checkbox called Local delivery label. By using rules described below, this can be turned on automatically for an order. The dialog where you enter the collo-count (number of parcels) will be shown at the end of the order check if Local delivery label option is checked in the Actions menu.
The print can also be done in Picking lists/Packing slips, under Print.
This can be used both for local delivery and local pickup.
The dialog shows the note that the customer put on the order. You can copy that to the Shipment note to be printed on the label. Either by pressing the copy icon or using cut & paste from the Customer’s note. This dialog will only when printing from the order check screen, and not when printing from Picking lists/Packing slips screen.
The parcel number of total number of parcels will only be shown when more than 1 parcel.
In order for this to be activated, you must have PrintNode installed. It will be printed on the printer you have assigned for shipping labels.
