How to enable multi-shipping for orders

By default, the plugin allows adding multiple shipping addresses to the orders for all the products of your shop by enabling the related option from the plugin settings dashboard. Once enabled, you can choose whether to allow also guest users to set additional shipping addresses through the option Allow guest users.

Moreover, by enabling the option Show package weight, the total weight, previously configured in the product edit page, will show in the order summary on the Checkout page.

Settings

If you wish to exclude certain products or categories from the multi-shipping feature, you can do it by adding them to the related lists available in the plugin dashboard.

How to ship the same product to different addresses

When adding two or more of the same product to the cart, users can choose to ship a specific quantity to different shipping addresses.

When clicking on Ship this item to other addresses, the plugin automatically splits the product quantity that can be then adjusted depending on the user’s need.

In the example below, the customer has added 3 Cherokee T-shirts to the cart.

Ship this items to different addresses

After clicking on Ship this item to other addresses, the product quantity splits and the user can select from the drop-down the shipping addresses previously added.
