Shopify App Upgrade
We've updated our Shopify integration!
Find out what has changed and how you can access these new features!
What you’ll need
Your Ninja Dashboard account credentials
Permission to reinstall the app
New Features
Fulfill your orders after order creation
Previously:
Orders synced when they were marked as fulfilled.
Now:
Select your orders and sync your orders using the "Create Ninja Van Orders" button.
Choose when you would like to fulfill your orders and inform your customers of the tracking ID.
Book pick-ups on the app
Previously:
Pick-ups had to be booked on the Ninja Dashboard separately.
Now:
Pick-ups can be booked directly on the app during order syncing and multiple pick-up locations are supported per batch.
Clearer error messages
Previously:
Orders with errors were not displayed.
Now:
Errors more clearly explained and follow-up steps will also be shown.
Edit COD value
Previously:
COD value non-editable.
Now:
COD value is editable to include any additional fees or discounts.
Custom liability coverage
Previously:
Only able to have all orders be covered at order value or none.
Now:
Threshold order value is now supported where only orders above a set order value are covered with additional liability coverage.
Ninja Van order tagging
Previously:
Not able to identify which orders were synced or passed to Ninja Van.
Now:
Orders that were successfully synced with Ninja Van will now have a "Ninja Van" tag to show you clearly which orders are being processed by us.
Automated delivery mapping
Previously:
Multiple steps to create delivery type mapping/presets.
Now:
Automatically detect and map delivery types with the ability to quickly modify presets.
New delivery methods you add to Shopify can also be automatically updated.
Features On The Way
March - Custom addresses
Previously:
Order creation was previously limited to Shopify addresses where the stocks were held.
Now:
Add custom addresses and book pick-ups from these locations.
Default addresses to override the Shopify addresses can also be set.
April - International cash on delivery
Previously:
Only domestic cash on delivery was supported
Now:
Singapore and Malaysian sellers delivering to Malaysia or Singapore respectively will be able to create Ninja Van orders with the cash on delivery collection option.
How to use the upgraded app? (Important)
Syncing of Orders
What we used to do:
Previously, we would create the orders by fulfilling the orders.
However, this would not sync the orders to Ninja Van now, giving you the flexibility to fulfill and inform your customers (via email) whenever you want.
What we will have to do now is simply:
Select the orders to be synced on your Shopify order page
Navigate to the button with 3 dots
Click on the "Create Ninja Van Orders" button
Confirm the details
How to upgrade?
Upgrading your app
Do read the previous section "How to use the upgraded app?" if you haven't!
Head over to "Settings" on the side bar
Navigate to "Accounts"
"Unlink" your current account
Login with your Ninja Van account
Done!
You can also follow the screenshots here for a step-by-step guide on how to do so:
Troubleshooting
Error connecting or linking accounts
If you encountered an error while connecting your Shopify account to your Ninja Dashboard account, try again after refreshing the page.
If you are getting 'Conflict' errors, check that you are logging in with the right Ninja Van account.
If you are getting errors after reinstalling the app, uninstall it and wait for 5 minutes before trying to install the app again.
What if I still can't sync my orders?
If your orders are still not being synced, check the following:
Have you selected the orders and used the "Create Orders With Ninja Van" button?
Does the order have a valid delivery country, address and contact details?
Are the items in the order virtual items (added insurance, virtual gift cards etc) that Shopify does not allow us to ship?
If any problem persists, reach out to your Account Manager or sg-sales@ninjavan.co who will log the issue with us, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can!
