To enable the Shop pickup delivery method, no additional setup is required in the MakeCommerce module.

You only need to enable the Pickup in store method in Shopify settings under Shipping and delivery, under Additional delivery methods:

After enabling it, the Pickup in store option should automatically appear in the cart and checkout.

You can individually print shipment labels by clicking on the Print Label button at the end of each shipment row. You can also edit any shipment details (after editing a shipment, remember to print the label again).
After the label has been printed, the order will automatically be marked as fulfilled.

On the app homepage, you can filter your shipments by status.

• New – unprocessed shipments that have come in
• Ready – shipments that are ready to be shipped
• En route – shipping in progress
• Delivered – shipments that have already been delivered
• Action required – an issue has arisen with the shipment that requires your attention
• ⋅⋅⋅ – other shipment status filters

You can also search for shipments by Order ID, tracking number, email, phone number, and name.

• Enable or disable carrier delivery methods
• Set up the pricing logic that is displayed in the snippet
• Switch between using Shipping+ and your Own contract for a specific delivery method

To enable the courier delivery method (excl. Omniva courier in Estonia), you need to have Shipping+ Pro active.

Activate it by clicking the Activate Shipping+ Pro button.

Once Shipping+ Pro is active, you need to add your credentials to the Carrier settings:

After the credentials have been added successfully, you can enable couriers and switch to your own contract for the desired delivery methods.

Additional courier delivery methods, such as DHL, UPS or local carriers, are configured in Shopify under: Settings → Shipping and delivery → Shipping zones. A detailed guide is available in the Setting up delivery methods section, but the final result would look like this:

1. Settings in Shopify:
2. View in the online store cart:
3. View in the online store checkout:

• In the MakeCommerce cart, the customer only selects the delivery type Courier.
• Specific courier providers are no longer shown in the cart.
• In Shopify Checkout, the customer sees all courier delivery methods configured in Shopify and MakeCommerce. You can define delivery method names, prices, weight limits, free shipping rules, and country-specific availability.

Shipping+ is MakeCommerce’s all-inclusive shipping service where you use MakeCommerce’s own delivery contracts and prices instead of signing contracts with each carrier yourself.

In practice, this means:

• You get access to local parcel machines out of the box: Omniva, DPD, Venipak, Unisend, (and SmartPosti in Estonia).
• You do not need separate contracts or credentials with each delivery company
• You get one unified pricing model from MakeCommerce: one price per parcel size per carrier, instead of each carrier having its own complex pricing tables.

In short: Shipping+ gives you competitive shipping rates at any scale, avoids carrier negotiations, and helps you launch faster.

Shipping+ Pro is for merchants who want to keep using their own carrier contracts, but still want automation and MakeCommerce shipping tools.

Keep your existing terms with each carrier and get 100 delivery registrations included every month for 5 EUR, then 0.05 EUR per extra delivery registration.

In practice:

• You connect your own Omniva / DPD / Venipak / … credentials to MakeCommerce.
• You keep your own negotiated shipping prices and conditions with carriers.
• MakeCommerce handles automatic shipment registration after orders are paid, plus label creation and tracking.
• You pay a small monthly subscription plus a per-label fee for that automation.

In short: Shipping+ Pro lets you use your own carrier deals, automate shipping, and keep costs low with small fees.

1. Sign an agreement with your chosen delivery service provider.
2. Open the “MakeCommerce” module in your store platform – select Carriers → Omniva/DPD/Venipak/Unisend → Own contract → enter the API keys → Connect
   
3. Make sure to read the terms and conditions in the “Shipping+ Pro” tab – the monthly fee applies immediately after activation.
   
4. Confirm the terms and activate the plan.
5. A page will open with fields where you need to enter the API keys or username and password received from the delivery companies.
   
6. Save the changes.

Once Shipping+ Pro has been activated, you will see “Shipping+ Pro is active”:

Cancelling Shipping+ Pro:
To cancel the subscription, open the Carriers view in the MakeCommerce app. Click “Shipping+ Pro is active” and confirm the subscription cancellation. The subscription will remain valid until the end of the month. You can renew the subscription at any time.

Here you can edit the address that will be used as the sender’s address and also the address used for returns. This is also what gets printed on the shipping label.

Here you can choose the label size used by the system.

A6 – prints a single shipping label on an A6 page.

A4 – prints up to 4 A6-sized shipping labels on an A4 page.

If you are already using the older MakeCommerce shipping module “MakeCommerce Shipping Solution” or have it installed, you can update it to the latest Shipping+ version through migration:

1. Go to Shopify admin -> Search -> MakeCommerce Shipping Solution -> Other -> Migration.
2. Make sure that all the terms of the new version meet your needs, including additional terms, pricing and other important points. If everything is suitable, tick “I have read and understood…”, then click Continue Migration, check the API keys and select Save.
3. The migration has been initiated. Then complete the remaining settings according to this guide: https://makecommerce.net/setting-up-makecommerce-shipping/. This is important to ensure that shipping zones and other settings are configured correctly and that no errors occur during checkout.
