Split ALL items in order into separate shipments

Answered

Hello,

I have a scenario where my orders from shopify may come in the following:

3 Red

2 Blue

1 Green

I see that shipping rules have the option to "Split all line items".

Would this result in 3 shipments or 6 shipments? 

 

Example 1:  3 Red in one, 2 blue in another, 1 green in another.

or would it be 

Example 2: 1 Red, 1 Red, 1 Red, 1 Blue, 1 Blue, 1 Green

 

I am looking for the second example to be the case. Is this possible using shipping rules or would I need to somehow format my orders coming in to be separate line items from the get-go?

 

Thanks!

Hi James, and thank you for posting to our community.

The 'Split all line items' Shipping Rule option will only split orders with multiple line items, and does not affect the quantity of those line items.

You could, however, use that rule option in conjunction with 'Assign to a Category' which would color code your orders that need to have quantity split. 

At which point you would need to manually split the quantities of those orders using the steps in our guide below.

Beyond that, would you consider reposting your specific needs and interest for a Split Quantity rule option to our Feature Requests forums? These are monitored by our CEO and Product Team and used to prioritize future development work.

We look forward to seeing you in the Feature Request forum and taking an active role in helping to shape ShippingEasy!

Thank you and happy shipping!

Thank you for the reply. If I can figure out how to split the orders onto individual line items within Shopify would that work?

Hi James, thanks for the reply.

Based on previous experience split line items are typically combined once synced to ShippingEasy, even if you are able to accomplish that in Shopify.

That may however, changed, and we would recommend you try syncing a test order first if you are able to split those in Shopify first.

Thanks and happy shipping!
