Are there apps or ways shops can make customers have an open box for a designated amount of time?
For example, if I set an open box policy to be one week, whatever customers purchase within that week will be a flat rate/merged as one box instead of charging them separate shipping for each transaction.
I don’t believe this is possible. Each order will handle shipping separately. There’s no way to issue a customer free shipping on additional orders for X-amount of days after their first order.
The closest you could get to this is an app like this one (https://apps.shopify.com/order-merger) which can merge orders based on pre-determined factors, and then refund excess shipping costs (when applicable).
Hi @kidultfactory
Our app can help you with that
We’ve got some merchants calling it Build a Box (ex. Bry’s comics posted about our app on Youtube so you can see how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcKcsJv42ao) where customers can pay for items but not have them shipped out yet. Once the customer confirms, the shipping fee will be calculated based on conditions you set (extra fee, discount, free shipping). Try it for 30 days free here!
