Scenario
I want to request EVRi Parcel Locker delivery for my Shopify orders.
Solution
EVRi offers a ParcelShop Finder app for marketplaces like Shopify, letting buyers choose a ParcelShop or ParcelLocker.
To use this feature in Linnworks, follow these steps:
- Install the Shopify ParcelShop Locator App
Contact EVRi Support for access and setup. - Set up EVRi Shipping Service in Linnworks
Go to Shipping > Integrations > Services > Edit EVRi Standard 48Hr Service and enable Request ParcelShop Delivery > Save.
Keep in mind: To avoid confusion with the regular Service, create a new instance and name it something like EVRi ParcelShop to ensure it is assigned correctly. - Ensure parcelShopId is downloaded
If the buyer selects a ParcelShop delivery, the ID is sent to Linnworks as an extended property. This happens automatically if Download Order Metafields is enabled in Settings > Channel Integration > Edit Channel Details.
More details can be found here.
You can check the property in Orders > Open Orders > click on the Order ID > Properties > Extended Properties > it will be downloaded under the name ExternalId. - Assign the correct service
You can assign the correct Service manually, through Shipping Allocation, or using the Rules Engine.
To assign it manually: Go to Orders > Open Orders > Shipping > Change Service, and select EVRi ParcelShop Service (or under whatever name you assigned to it).
Through Shipping Allocation: It can be assigned based on the Shipping Tag from the Order XML. More details here.
Through Rules Engine: You can assign the EVRi Standard 48Hr Service as an action based on specific conditions you define. More details here.
