How can I set up Express Delivery for Shopify?
In a few simple steps, you can enable Express Delivery for your existing Shopify products that use Bella+Canvas 3001 or Gildan 5000 t-shirts or create new products with Express Delivery. However, note that currently, only front-print items are supported, and products with additional print areas cannot be set up with Express Delivery.
When you enable Express Delivery for a product, both standard and Express delivery options will be available, allowing customers to choose their preferred shipping method.
