What’s New at Shopify?

We’re introducing an improvement to selling in Shopify POS. Staff can now build an order where items can be carried out in-store and shipped directly to a customer’s address.

Whats New
- Each item in the cart can have its own delivery method, eliminating the need to check out separate carts for different delivery options. This means your staff can handle mixed orders - shipping some items while allowing customers to take home others right away.
- The ship and carry out feature lets you sell both in-stock and out-of-stock items together, giving customers more choices and allowing you to utilize inventory across your retail network.
- By consolidating items into one cart, bundle pricing and discounts apply across all purchased items, reducing overhead on staff and improving the customers purchasing experience.

How Ship and Carryout Works
- Split quantity limitations: Items of the same product variant cannot be split across line items. If a variant appears both in a bundle and as a separate line item, they will need to share the same delivery method.
- Tax engine compatibility: Ship and carry out is only supported if you are using Avalara 2.0, Vertex, or Registration-based taxes (excluding stores based in the United States, European Union, and United Kingdom) tax engines. We will be expanding support to include ShopifyTax. Be sure to verify your settings to take advantage of this feature.
- Regional shipping restrictions: *All items in a single delivery cart must be from the same tax region, as configured in your Shopify Admin. However, within the EU, you can ship across countries since it operates under a unified tax engine.
- *Email templates: Default email templates for Order confirmation, Order invoice, Order Edited, POS and Mobile Receipt, and New Order Notification will be automatically updated to show items shipped and items carried out. Custom email templates will need to be manually updated.

Ship and carry out provides a more flexible shopping experience for your customers while simplifying the checkout process for your staff. Learn about ship and carry out in the Help Center.
