Hello Jeremy,

We'd like to know how to propose UPS relay points to our customers with a map at Shopify checkout.

We connected our shop with the UPS plug-in but this plug-in does not offer to install the map at checkout. Do we need a specific Shopify plan to enable this feature, or should we develop a custom solution?

Thanks

Hello @MagaliWD ,

sorry for the late response!

To propose UPS relay points with a map at checkout, Shopify does not currently offer this feature natively, even with the UPS plug-in. However, you have a few options:

1. Look for third-party apps like Advanced Shipping Rules or Store Pickup + Delivery from the Shopify App Store. Some of these apps provide map-based delivery point options and integrate seamlessly with Shopify.

2. If you require a highly tailored experience, you can develop a custom solution. This would involve using Shopify's Checkout API (available only on Shopify Plus) or custom scripts to integrate UPS relay points and a map interface. You might need a developer for this, as it's a more complex implementation.

3. Reach out to UPS directly to see if they provide tools or APIs for relay point mapping that can be integrated into Shopify's cart or checkout process.

For most cases, starting with a third-party app is the fastest and most cost-effective solution unless you're already on Shopify Plus and have access to advanced APIs for customizations.

Hope this helps
