I’m looking for an app or other solution to allow my customers to select a “hold for later” option at checkout instead of paying for shipping right away. This would allow them to combine multiple purchases over the month and save in shipping.

Hi,

How does the ideal user experience looks like? I'm not sure if I understood the scenario correctly. 

If the customer chooses "hold for later" at checkout, will they be able to purchase the item without paying for shipping? Why would you want this option at checkout versus just allowing them to add to cart and combine purchases there?

It's an interesting use case and I would love to learn more.

Cheers,

Courtney

I think you get the general gist.  Basically, in my business, products get added for preorder daily.  Customers pay upfront for everything.  Now, if a new product comes out a day later that they also want, they will have to pay shipping again or contact me to combine it manually

I see. What you are describing sounds like it can be done using Order Merger: https://apps.shopify.com/order-merger.

It can merge orders together after the customers made separate orders, and allow for shipping refund. But it sounds like you want to grant the "hold for later" option for the customers and allow them to exclude shipping right away, which is not the case with Order Merger. 

If you have more specific requirements, and can't find the right app for it, this sounds like something we can help you build if you are interested. Would you consider a customized app for your store? You can check us out at shypyard.io. We are Shopify Expert-certified and we'd love to talk with you if you need any help.

Cheers,

Courtney

Hello there I am developing an app that will allow shoppers to purchase (and therefore secure items) without them being shipped immediately. Instead they will be shipped once the free shipping threshold is met or until the deadline set by the store is up.

I think this sounds like what you are looking for if you haven't already found an app to solve that. If so I'd be keen to discuss and get to know more about your business and needs. Please let me know! 🙂

Did you ever find a solution? I found a website online that has this implemented. Where customer controls the order by click "add to stack" + pays no shipping, pays only for items.. and at anytime customer can go into their account and select "ship my stack" and at that point shipping is calculated, and order to ship is created. I'm looking for this APP too, who is going to make it!

Hiya, I am developing an app that does what you have described - allow shoppers to purchase (and therefore secure items) without them being shipped immediately. Instead they will be shipped once the free shipping threshold is met or until the deadline set by the store is up.

Hello! Thanks for your message. We are developing the shopify app and are aiming to have it published in 2-3 weeks. 
I will drop you an email or reply again here once it is up and ready.

Basically how it works: customers can checkout via a "Buy Now Ship Later" option and add up/combine orders every time using this option. They will need to pay for the item(s) then and there but not for shipping. Once they want it shipped, all they do is hit confirm and a draft order with the shipping fee customized by you the merchant will be sent for it to be paid by the customer for all those orders.

In the meantime if you have any specific features in mind or any other thoughts, feel free to send us a message.

Thanks!

Looking for a beta tester for a few months?

[addora]

Sure, would be great if early users could try it out and provide feedback 🙂 

[addora]

Hi again, we are looking into setting up a free early adopter plan (for a limited time perhaps a couple of months). If you'd like to try the app right away meanwhile, you can take advantage of the free 3 week trial already set up.

Hello, the app is currently being reviewed by Shopify so we are hoping it will be public soon!
