This post is divided into two sections. The first section is intended for users who are currently using the latest version of the plugin. The second section will provide instructions on how to transition from the older version to the newest one, and take advantage of our latest location features.
Latest version - Location features
The Stuart Shopify plugin provides you with the ability to set specific information at the location level:
Shipping availability
You can specify the days on which each store will be available for delivery.
This is useful for blocking times/days for breaks, vacations, packing time and more.
Preparation time
If a store needs a certain amount of time after the order is created to prepare the packages for pickup, you can set a default preparation time.
This way, for each new order, depending on the preparation time you specify, the appropriate pickup time will be automatically set for you.
End customer pricing
For each location, you can dynamically set the price that will be charged to the end customer. This price will be displayed when the end customer places an order (e.g. for any Stuart delivery with an amount between 0 and 10€, the customer will pay 5€).
Upgrade to the latest version
This section is meant for users that were already using Stuart’s Shopify app before the integration of multi-locations support. If you’re a new user of the app you can refer directly to the section above.
Stuart’s app will work as usual even before performing the upgrade, it will use all the information configured in the deprecated sections until you have verified and activated at least one new location. This will be explained in depth.
1 - Update the app in Shopify
To support multi-locations shops Stuart’s app needs to have the rights to access the locations data of your shop, therefore the first step will be for you to accept those changes the next time you access Stuart’s app, see the screenshot below
2 - New Stuart Shopify app interface with multi-location feature
3 - New Multi-location features & deprecated location features
- New multiple locations
The new Location section list all of the locations configured within your Shopify settings, bringing uniform between the two settings. This also allows the ability to use each location as pick-up location and not limited to a single address, which we will explore in detail later.
- Deprecated section: Pickup Address
This is the previous pickup address form, as we now use location data from your Shopify settings, this section has become redundant and will be removed once the you have successfully activated a new location.
- Deprecated section: Shipping Availability
Shipping availability can now be configured at a location level. You can now configure each store to have individual opening and break times, independent from each location.
- Deprecated section: Preparation time
Preparation time can now be configured at a location level. Each store could set their own preparation time which suits their operations needs as required for the location.
- Deprecated section: End customer pricing
End customer pricing can now be configured at a location level. This is especially useful if each store has a different location or various additional charges you may need to add depending on the location.
4 - Verify and activate new locations
After updating Stuart’s Shopify app, the first time you will access the new Shopify plugin interface, the app will automatically try to validate your Shopify location addresses. Only successfully validated addresses will be usable by Stuart to perform deliveries, if some location addresses are not valid you will need to update them in your Shopify settings to make sure the addresses are accurate enough.
Finally, to complete the upgrade you will need to activate at least one location.
(Please note, until an address has been activated the location settings will remain at a global level and multi-pickup location can not be used)
Congratulations the upgrade has now been completed 
Now the new location(s) activated will be used as pickup information for deliveries handled by Stuart.
You will notice that once a location is activated, the deprecated sections will not show up anymore on the configuration page.
