Overview
Installation Process
Please find the guide below to help set up Shippit - Shopline Integration.
You can begin the SHOPLINE installation process either via the SHOPLINE app store, or if you already have a Shippit Account setup, you can select the "SHOPLINE" integration from your integration settings.
Don't have a Shippit Account?
Skip to Step 1b to start the installation via the SHOPLINE app store (we'll help you to create your Shippit Account during app setup)
Step 1a - Shippit Integrations Listing
If you already have a Shippit account, you can begin installation from the Shippit Account settings area.
Login to your Shippit Account.
In the top right corner, select the downward arrow and then the Settings option.
In the left navigation panel, select Integrations.
From the list of available integration platforms, select the SHOPLINE integration.
You will then be prompted for your SHOPLINE store name — this is the url of your store, as identified by my-store.myshopline.com
Enter the SHOPLINE store handle for your store — ie:
my-store
Select the Connect My Store button
Step 1b - SHOPLINE App Store
Alternatively, you can begin the installation process from the SHOPLINE app store.
Navigate to the SHOPLINE App Store
Search for the Shippit App
Select the Install action for the Shippit App
Step 2 — Authorize and Install the App
During this step, SHOPLINE presents a summary of the Shippit App and the required permissions to faciliate Orders & Fulfillments capabilities of the app.
Review the requested permissions, and select the Authorize and Install action button to install the app.
Step 3 — Connect your Shippit Store
During this step, we'll guide you through some options on getting your Shippit Store connected.
If you are new to Shippit, and don't yet have a Shippit Store setup — select the Create New Account action
If you have an existing Shippit Account that you wish to use for your SHOPLINE store, select the Link Existing Account action
Started setup from your Shippit Account? Skip to Step 4
If you started setup from Shippit, you won't be prompted for this step — we've automatically linked your Shippit Store to this SHOPLINE shop.
Breeze on through to Step 4.
Step 3a — Create New Account
If you select the Create New Account option — we will guide you through to create a username and password, along with asking a few questions about your store.
Once your Shippit Store account is setup, we'll return you back to the Setup of your SHOPLINE connection, automatically linking the newly created Shippit Store account with your SHOPLINE store.
Step 3b — Link Existing Account
If you select the Link Existing Account option — we prompt you to login to your Shippit Account you wish to be connected with your SHOPLINE shop.
If you have a more than one Shippit Store associated with your login, you'll be prompted to select the Shippit Store you wish to utilise for your SHOPLINE store integration.
Once you have logged in (and if required, selected the store you wish to associate), we'll return you back to the Setup of your SHOPLINE connection, automatically linking the existing Shippit Store account with your SHOPLINE store.
Step 4 - Shipping Methods
We are now on the setup final step — On this page, we display a few options to configure how you would like your orders to be routed to our carriers in the Shippit platform.
We call this feature "Shipping Method Mapping" — it allows you to "map" your SHOPLINE shipping methods made available to customers at the Checkout, with a Shippit Service Level or Courier Type.
To keep things simple — during setup we'll look over your last 100 orders and present the unique shipping methods available to customers across these order.
We'll also provide some smart-suggestions — such as mapping any shipping methods with the name "Express" to our "Express" Service Level.
Review the Shipping Method Mapping options suggested and adjust the settings to your requirements.
Once setup, you can select either the Save & Sync Open Orders action or the Save & Complete Setup action
Selecting the Save & Sync Open Orders action will sync any open (paid, but not yet fulfilled) SHOPLINE shop orders found over the last 7 days to your Shippit Store.
Don't see any shipping options? You can set this up later.
During setup, we'll look over your historical order to determine the Shipping Methods typically available to across your orders.
If you have a new store, you may not have this history yet, as such you may not yet see any available shipping mapping options.
In this case, any new orders raised without an existing shipping emthod mapping will be routed by default to our "Standard" couriers in Shippit.
Integration Settings
The SHOPLINE integration offers three settings areas available to merchants
Orders
Fulfillments
Location
Orders Settings
The "Orders" tab allows you to configure how you would like to synchronise your orders from SHOPLINE to Shippit, with the following configuration options available
Automatically Sync New Orders
Shipping Method Mapping
Automatically Sync New Orders
Determines if new orders are automatically processed + synced with Shippit.
If set to "Yes", New Orders will be automatically synced with Shippit based on the "Order Paid" event in the SHOPLINE Platform.
If set to "No", the "Order Paid" webhook event from the SHOPLINE Platform will be ignored and the order won't be synced with Shippit automatically.
Default Value: Yes
Note: In addition to orders auto-sync, the integration also offers the capability to manually import orders if users have a use-case where the orders auto-sync workflow is not preferred.
Mapping Shipping Methods
Shipping Method Mapping allows merchants to map a SHOPLINE Shipping Method with a Shippit Service Level or Courier Service.
By default, if a Shipping Method is not mapped, the order will be submitted to Shippit as a "Standard" service level order.
The Shipping Method Mapping UI is a simple Text input table that users can enter SHOPLINE Shipping methods into and map them to a Shippit Service type.
To add a Shipping method mapping, navigate to the "Orders" tab of the Shippit SHOPLINE Integration Settings
Select the "Add Mapping" action button
In the first column, enter the name of the SHOPLINE Shipping Method
You can also use a wildcard, such as
*Express*
to match variations of a Shipping method name
In the second column, select the Shippit Service Level or Courier Service you wish to associate with an order that matches the Shipping Method set in Step 2
Save the settings by selecting the "Update" action button.
Default Value: Empty
Note: Users are also able to prevent orders from syncing to Shippit automatically by mapping a SHOPLINE Shipping method to the Don't send to Shippit
