Smart order scheduling in tandem with delivery date calendars!

New

  
We're excited to share a significant enhancement to our platform – the new First Order Delivery Date Handling feature. This update brings seamless integration with delivery date calendars, including those powered by Zapiet and other apps, ensuring that subscription orders align perfectly with the delivery dates chosen by customers. Here's what you can expect:

Auto-scheduled subscription orders:

  • Delivery date configuration: Merchants can now configure the shipping/pickup/local-delivery date key value, crucial for scheduling based on delivery dates.
  • Easy integration: This key value can be copied from the "Additional details" section on the Shopify order admin page.
  • Effortless scheduling: Once set up, Loop will automatically fetch the initial delivery date from the checkout order and schedule subsequent orders accordingly, eliminating the need for manual merchant intervention.

Dynamic date updates:

  • Automatic adjustments: Loop will update the shipping-date key in real-time as orders are re-scheduled, skipped, or placed, keeping the Shopify admin page consistently up-to-date.
  • Bulk action for existing subscriptions: Merchants can opt to update the shipping-date key value for existing subscriptions in bulk, ensuring uniformity across all orders.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced customer experience: Customers enjoy a more personalized service with their preferred delivery dates taken into account right from their first order.
  • Streamlined operations for merchants: This feature reduces the administrative burden, allowing for more efficient and accurate subscription management.
  • Consistency and accuracy: Real-time updates ensure that merchants always have the most current delivery date information at their fingertips.

Limitations:

Loop Subscriptions app will schedule the recurring order deliveries based on the first delivery date selected during checkout and delivery frequency without considering blackout dates set on the Zapiet app.

Schedule orders basis "Delivery Date" 🚚 or Charge X days before delivery 💸

New

  
Tailor your subscription schedule with delivery dates rather than billing dates, or start charging X days before the delivery date by defining a charge offset.

Highlighting important elements:

  • Exclusive capability: We're one of the first subscription platforms offering a toggle-based transition to delivery date scheduling without coding.
  • Switching made easy: Effortlessly switch back to a billing-based schedule or update charge offset with our one-click bulk action.
  • Enhanced customer experience: Clear info about the last charge and upcoming delivery dates. Calendar functions for rescheduling or pausing now work as per delivery dates.
  • Coming soon: Automatic synchronization of subscription schedules from delivery dates collected on Checkout through Zapiet integration.

Here, the "Next order" represents the delivery date, and the highlighted text describes the last charge date to avoid multiple order placements.

How does it work?

Setup: Navigate to Settings > Order schedule preferences. Configure your delivery-based schedule with a charge offset.

Admin Experience: Order schedules align with the delivery date to present your support team with the exact details of customers. Features like the rescheduled calendar and order history now work as per delivery dates.

Reporting: A new "Charge offset" column is added across several reports, while the order date still represents the charge date.

Integration Updates: Events payload for Klaviyo, Attentive, Omnisend, and Recart now includes charge offset. Loop notifications variables are also updated. Kindly update your templates once you make the switch.
