Drop Shipping Update

How to setup a Drop Shipping Customer​

  • Add "dropship" tag to customer
    • Having tag means you can now see drop shipping menu items and drop shipping collections
  • Prepend a negative sign to the front of the tag inverts its use
    • "-dropship" tag makes it the same as not having the tag. It removes the ability to see drop shipping menu items and drop shipping collections.

How to setup a Drop Shipping Collection​

  • Setup the Collection Type to use conditions.
    • Match based on product tag "dropship-tagged"
    • Already a collection setup that does this. See example.
  • Collections now have a Metafield called "Dropship". You can set the value to either True or false. Leaving it blank assumes False.
    • True means only a logged in user with "dropship" tag can view the collection.
      • Viewing the collection without the proper tag will result in the 404 template being rendered in place of the standard collection view.
    • False means anyone logged in user can view the collection.

How to setup a Drop Shipping menu item​

  • Add a new link to the navigation menu and give it a name.
  • Append the text "[Dropship]" to the end of the menu item.
  • Make sure that the link attached to the menu item goes directly to a collection page in order for the show / hide system to work.
  • This will signal the drop ship system to show / hide menu links based on if the user has the correct tagging.

How to setup Drop Shipping Products:​

  • In the Shopify admin, add a new product tag called “dropship-tagged” to the product.
  • The tag flags the drop ship system to no longer use the case pack logic
  • Drop ship products no longer use the sku pack system.
    • Drop ship system still utilizes the MAXIMUM_QTY logic so you can never purchase more than 24 skus of a product.
  • We recommend duplicating drop ship only products to allow for additional customization.
    • Each product variant now has a new metafield called "Wholesale Price"
      • This price will display under the "Your Price" and the "MSRP" when defined.
        • If you leave it blank, nothing will display.
        • This price is set per variant so make sure to set for each variant of the product.

How does Drop Shipping Effect the Cart Page​

  • When you add a drop shipping item to the cart, the cart will run a validation check to make sure that the only items in the cart are drop shippable items. If there is any item that is NOT drop ship eligible, you will not be able to proceed to checkout.
  • The upsell systems will also not display on the cart page when a cart contains any drop shipping items.

How to setup a product to be a single sku:​

  • In the Shopify admin, add a new product tag called “single-sku-enabled”
  • This forces the qty to iterate by one across the board, regardless of “Wholesale - X“ tag.

This section "How to setup a product to be a single sku" does not apply to the drop shipping products. This applies to case pack products that you want to allow selection of multiple colors in the same case pack.

Example:

  • Case pack size = 4
    • Add 2 of Red
    • Add 1 of Black
    • Add 1 of Blue
