So you are probably familiar with Shopify. But what is Shopify Plus?
Shopify Plus lets you get all the power you need to scale, plus advanced tools and the lowest transaction fees of any Shopify plan. Built to handle fast growth and billion-dollar revenue, Shopify Plus is the premium Shopify plan for modern enterprise brands. You get the same powerful platform that supports millions of merchants, plus access to advanced features, apps, and resources.
What's the benefit of Shopify Plus when using Outvio?
You can customize the checkout experience for your customers to the next level. Instead of having the pick-up point map after the purchase on the 'Thank you!' page, you can have it included in the checkout.
What do you need to do?
If you have Shopify Plus, no changes are needed when it comes to integrations within Outvio. The only step is to inject the following code in 'checkout.liquid':
<script type="text/javascript">
var __outvioPickupPoint = "{{ checkout.attributes.pickupPoint }}";
var __oShippingAddress = {zip:"{{checkout.shipping_address.zip}}",address1:"{{checkout.shipping_address.address1}}",address2:"{{checkout.shipping_address.address2}}",city:"{{checkout.shipping_address.city}}",country_code:"{{checkout.shipping_address.country_code}}"};
var crt = document.createElement('script');
crt.type = 'text/javascript';
crt.src = 'https://outvio-prod-public.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/lib/shopify-pickup-points-widget.iife.js'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(crt);
</script>
Notice from Shopify:
The checkout.liquid layout will be deprecated for the Information, Shipping, and Payment pages on August 13, 2024. Users who have customized these pages using checkout.liquid need to upgrade to checkout extensibility before August 13, 2024. Access to checkout.liquid will not be provided to new stores, with the exception of expansion stores.
What does this mean to Outvio clients using Shopify Plus?
If you had the checkout.liquid customized before the new changes (May 2023), you can continue using it till August 13, 2024. If you are expanding the store, reach out to Shopify for the exception to be granted.
If you're new to this, with Shopify Plus, you can put the map and pick-up points right on the checkout page. It's a step up from regular Shopify, where you can only display pick-up points on the Thank You page.
