Shippr integration guide

How do I integrate Shippr with my Shopify?

  1. Sign in to the Shopify App Store

    Search for “Shippr” in the search bar. You will find the Shippr plug-in there, along with what integrating your online store with Shippr brings you.

    The Shopify App Store, with “shippr” typed into the search bar.
  2. Add the Shippr app

    Open the app listing and click “Install”. Installing is free: Shippr only charges for deliveries that are actually carried out.

  3. Accept the permissions

    Shopify tells you which data the app will have access to: your customer data, the store owner, and your orders. Those permissions are what let Shippr pick up the delivery address from each order.

    Click “Install” to finish the installation.

  4. Shippr is installed!

    Your Shippr app is now installed and sits in the “Apps” section of your Shopify admin.

  5. Connect your online store to Shippr

    • Create a Shippr account if you do not have one yet.
    • Open the Shippr app from the “Apps” section, then click “Link accounts”.

    Once the two accounts are linked, the app shows the name of your Shippr account.

  6. Set up your integration

    • Add a payment method: without one, the app will refuse to create your deliveries.
    • Set the default pickup address and contact: they pre-fill every new delivery.
    • Choose your default parcels.
    • Turn on automatic delivery creation for every new order, if you want it.

    These settings live in your Shippr dashboard, under “Settings” and then “Integrations”. The Shopify app links straight to them.

    That is it! You are all set to start your deliveries with Shippr. Move on to the usage guide to understand how the Shippr app works.

Usage guide

How does the Shippr plug-in work?

  1. Create your order

    In your Shopify admin, open the “Orders” menu. Your online orders are already there, and you can create one by hand with “Create order”.

    The order creation screen in the Shopify admin.
  2. Send the order to Shippr

    In the order list, tick the order you want delivered. An action bar appears above the list: click the “…” button, then, under “Apps”, click “Ship with Shippr”.

    You can tick several orders at once: they become a single delivery, with one pickup and several drop-offs. No more entering everything twice in the Shippr dashboard!

  3. Fill in the delivery details

    • The pickup time for the order.
    • The pickup address: it comes from your default address, and the “Choose from a bookmark” list lets you pick another one of your saved addresses.
    • The drop address: this field fills itself in with the customer's address.
    • The parcel size.

    Click “Verify” to check the addresses before you send, then “Create” to create the delivery.

    The Shippr delivery details form: time, addresses and parcel size.
  4. Follow your order on the Shippr dashboard

    That is it, your Shippr delivery has been created! Click “Open delivery” to open the delivery details in your Shippr dashboard.
