How to Enable and Troubleshoot Local Delivery and Pickup Options on the Shopify Cart Page
Local delivery and pickup options are essential features for many Shopify stores, allowing customers to choose convenient fulfillment methods directly from the cart page. This guide explains how to enable these options, troubleshoot common issues, and make theme-specific adjustments.
Enabling the App Embed for Local Delivery and Pickup
To display local delivery and pickup options on the cart page, you need to enable the app embed in your Shopify theme settings. Follow these steps:
Access Theme Settings - In your Shopify Admin, navigate to Online Store > Themes. - Click Customize on your active theme.
Enable the App Embed - In the theme editor, open the App Embeds section in the sidebar. - Locate the app (e.g., RP Local Pickup & Delivery) and toggle the embed ON. - Save your changes.
Once the app embed is enabled, the app will display on the cart page.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Issue: Pickup Block Fails to Appear After Changing Themes
When switching to a new theme, especially a custom one, the app may not automatically locate the cart section where it needs to inject the pickup block. To resolve this:
Update the theme integration in the app’s settings.
Adjust the app’s cart placement settings to ensure the pickup and delivery options appear correctly on the cart page.
Theme-Specific Adjustments
For certain themes, such as the Trove theme, additional configuration may be required to display both Shipping (courier) and Local Delivery as selectable cards on the cart page. Here’s how to set it up:
Enable the App Embed - Follow the steps outlined in the "Enabling the App Embed" section above.
Configure Local Delivery in Shopify - Go to Settings > Shipping and delivery in your Shopify Admin. - Enable Local Delivery for each location where you want to offer it.
Integrate with Your Theme - In the app’s settings, update the theme integration so the app detects the cart section. - If the cards don’t appear, adjust the app’s cart placement settings within the app configuration.
Code Requirements - Typically, no additional code is required. However, for custom or less common themes, manual placement settings may be necessary if the app cannot locate the cart section.
Summary
To enable and troubleshoot local delivery and pickup options on the Shopify cart page:
Enable the app embed in your theme settings.
Configure Local Delivery in Shopify’s shipping settings.
Update or adjust the app’s cart placement settings, especially after changing themes.
For specific themes like Trove, follow additional configuration steps as needed.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your customers have access to convenient local delivery and pickup options directly from the cart page.
