Gordon Delivery is an app developed by SafeDigit that will integrate a merchant Shopify store with an account in Gordon and help manage shipments. Your customers can easily select the delivery day and time in the checkout. Orders can be synchronised automatically to minimise manual handling.

Requirements

  • This app can be installed and used on all Shopify plans. The app is certified “Partner Friendly App”, so it is entirely free to install and test on development stores.

  • You need Carrier Service API enabled if you want to display Gordon shipping options in the checkout. The feature is available in 'Advanced Shopify' and 'Shopify Plus'.

  • A SSL Certificate is required

Price

The app is free of charge for you as a customer.

Gordon Information

In order to install the plugin properly, you need to have an account in Gordon's Last Mile Platform with access to the following:

  • Client ID

  • Client Secret

  • Configured Order Switch with Zip Codes

Installation

  1. Before installing the app, make sure that you're store is compatible with the app (and that you have Carrier Service API enabled).

  2. Install the app from Shopify App Store. Follow the instructions and accept the terms and conditions.

  3. After it's been installed, you can find the app under 'Apps' and 'Gordon Delivery' in the left-side menu, or by typing 'Gordon Delivery' in the search menu.

  4. The app is now installed and ready for configuration.

Settings

Account Settings

  • Client ID - Enter the Client ID that can be found in your Last Mile account.

  • Client Secret - Enter the Client Secret that can be found in your Last Mile account.

  • Mode - Select if you want to book shipment to your account in our Test or Production environment. You need a different Client ID and Client Secret depending on what environment you're using.

General Settings

  • Show Shipping Options In Checkout - If you want Gordon to appear in the checkout, select 'Enabled' in the dropdown menu.

  • Auto Sync - If you want all orders to be synchronised automatically to Gordon, select 'Enabled' in the dropdown menu. You can also synchronise manually.

  • Delivery Group - Add the name of your Delivery Group in Gordon.

  • Package Content Text - Set a text that is displayed on the label. Usually a general description of the goods of your company/brand name.

  • Gordon Parcels - Decide how parcels are generated. This is also reflected in the number of labels you'll retrieve. If you want one label for the entire order, choose 'One parcel for entire order'.

  • Inventory Type - Do you have temperature-sensitive goods? Select whether they require 'Chilled' or 'Frozen' delivery in the dropdown menu.

Rates

  • There are no required changes, but you can update this tab if you, for example, would like to offer free shipping above a certain amount.

Configure shipping zones

  • Before you're done with the integration, you also need to add Gordon as a carrier to a shipping zone. You can create a new one or use an existing zone.

  • Click on 'Settings' at the bottom of the left-side menu followed by 'Shipping and delivery'.

  • Scroll down to the shipping area and select what type (General/Custom) you'd like to manage.

  • Navigate to the shipping zone you'd like to edit and click 'Add rate' followed by 'Use carrier or app to calculate rates'. Select 'Delivery by Gordon' from the dropdown menu and click 'Done'.

  • Scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit 'Save'.
