Flows now support update shipping price action
Update Shipping price action is now available for subscription creation and product modification in flows. This can be useful to avoid extra shipping charges levied on one-time products when subscription-specific rates have been configured in Loop.
Due to limitation of Shopify shipping, mixed carts may lead to extra shipping as Shopify considers one-time and subscription items differently when calculating shipping charges. Now, with update shipping price action, you can easily configure workflows, specifying shipping price amount for a given cart value or product weight or combination of both.
How to setup?
- Action can be setup easily by creating flows and selecting Update shipping action from the list of available actions.
- When the action is selected, you can configure the shipping rate and shipping method title based on your workflow requirements.
- Action is currently supported only for shipping delivery method and not for pickup and local delivery.
Restrictions wrt auto-update settings
- Ensure that the auto-update shipping prices settings is disabled for subscription creation and product modification trigger.
- otherwise, the update shipping price action will come disabled in flows as per the auto-update shipping setting status for respective triggers.
- No restriction will be imposed for the shipping address update trigger.
- If a flow is created using the update shipping price action, and the auto-update setting is later turned on, then the flow will be marked as failed, and the auto-update shipping prices will override the manual shipping price action.
- A banner will also appear as a warning to either turn-off the auto-update settings or to remove the manual update action.
