Multivendor Marketplace app for Shopify<\/a> -Canada Post feature helps the sellers of Canada to ship their products worldwide <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sellers can also generate “shipping label” from their account on the Multivendor Marketplace App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Note<\/strong>:-\u00a0\u201cThis Shipping Feature is available only in the Multivendor\u00a0PRO ($60\/month)<\/strong>\u00a0Plan\u00a0+<\/strong>\u00a0You need to enable the \u201cShipping’ Feature App, which is\u00a0FREE<\/strong>\u00a0of cost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature will have additional charges of USD 10 per month over and above your current multivendor plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, please Note:- 
To make this shipping feature work, you need to choose the Shopify store plan which supports the \u201cReal-Time Carrier-Calculated Shipping\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s understand its workflow:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADMIN END<\/h3><\/div>
\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Firstly enable the feature from the “FEATURE APPS” section on the top right-hand side of the main menu in your Marketplace App.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Canada<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once you will click on the Enable button, the Plan amount window will open and USD 10 will be added to your current payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canada<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now you also have to enable this feature from the “shipping configuration” section of your Multivendor Marketplace app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: Kindly choose only those shipping services which you need. Don’t keep all the services selected otherwise it creates delay to retrieve shipping rates at the storefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configuration>>Shipping Configuration>> Select “Canada Post”>> Save changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canada<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hence a new menu name “Canada Post Configuration” will be added in the configuration section of your admin panel in your multivendor marketplace app <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here you need to configure the feature by entering the details of Canada post username, Canada post password, Canada post customer number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configuration>> Canada Post Configuration>> Enter Canada post username|password|customer number>>save<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, you can allow your sellers to generate the shipping label automatically for the fulfilled orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose whether you want the admin<\/strong> or the seller<\/strong> to bear the extra Shipping charges (Shipping Label cost). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you select \u201cAdmin\u201d to bear the Shipping Label cost, the same process will be applied(admin will pay the shipping label cost). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you want your sellers to bear the extra Shipping charges then the seller will pay the shipping label cost as per the shipping configured by the admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Admin wants his sellers to enter their own Shipping details, then he can enable the ‘Seller Canada Post Detail’ option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This option will introduce a ‘Canada Post Configuration’ sub-menu on the Seller’s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Shipping<\/strong> Address Phone Number<\/strong> Mandatory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use this feature add-on, the admin needs to make the Shipping<\/strong> address phone number mandatory<\/strong> at the time of checkout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to do this, go to Shopify Backend<\/strong> > Settings<\/strong> > Checkout<\/strong> > Under Form Options<\/strong>, make Shipping<\/strong> address phone number <\/strong>as Required<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Further, on the seller end, Seller needs to select the “Canada Post” shipping feature from the “Shipping configuration” section from their account in the Multivendor Marketplace App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seller End>>Configuration>> Shipping Configuration>> select Canada Post>> Save Changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Seller End>>Configuration>> Canada Post Configuration<\/strong> and configure the details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canada<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, as soon as your buyer proceeds for checkout, he will get the shipping methods on the checkout page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be two cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case 1: <\/strong>A seller from Canada is shipping to a Canadian Address
In this case, domestic shipping is applied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case 2: <\/strong>A seller from Canada is shipping to an address outside Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the case when international shipping is applied and buyers will get international shipping options to choose. Example: International Parcel Surface, International Parcel Air, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, they can choose any of the shipping methods and can proceed to checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
