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.
Setting up Express Delivery for your existing products
Step 1: Update your Shopify store permissions
To enable Express Delivery for your Shopify products, you will need to update your Shopify store permissions to access and use shipping profiles. Shipping profiles are necessary for enabling Express Delivery.
Step 2: Filter all eligible products
In the My Products section, use the “Express eligible” filter to display all products that qualify for Express Delivery.
Step 3: Enable Express Delivery in bulk
Next, select all eligible products and click on Edit Shipping. Then enable Express Delivery (the shipping profile will be updated automatically). Finally, confirm the changes and publish them to your store.
After publishing the changes to your store, the Express Delivery option will be automatically displayed to buyers at checkout if the shipping address is in one of the supported states.
To ensure accurate and speedy delivery of orders, it is necessary to obtain the customer’s first and last name, along with their phone number for Express orders. As a result, Shopify sellers need to modify their store settings accordingly.
Once you have set up Express Delivery for your products, it is important to inform your customers that it is available. You can learn more about marketing your Express Delivery products here.
