Ready 2 Ship

Ready 2 Ship is a shipping company that does not read live edits. Orders must be finalized before Ready 2 Ship downloads them.

Integration method required: Delayed Payment Capture Flow


How Ready 2 Ship Downloads Orders

Ready 2 Ship downloads orders when the payment status is "Paid" in Shopify.


How the Integration Works

  1. Order created → Payment authorized (status: "Authorized")

  2. Grace period active → Customer can edit order

  3. Ready 2 Ship does not download → Order not visible (not "Paid" yet)

  4. Grace period ends → Payment captured, status updates to "Paid"

  5. Ready 2 Ship downloads order → Order sent with all edits included


Setup Instructions

Step 1: Change Payment Capture Setting

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Payments

  2. Change Payment capture method to Automatically after fulfillment

  3. Click Save

Step 2: Import Delayed Master Flow

  1. Download DELAYED_Order Editing_Master Flow.flow

  2. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Apps > Shopify Flow

  3. Import the Flow file

  4. Configure timing to match your editing deadline (e.g., 30 minutes)

  5. Activate the Flow

  6. Save

Note: This Master Flow includes delayed payment capture and adds a tag to the order.

Step 3: Verify Ready 2 Ship Settings

Important: Check that Ready 2 Ship is configured to match the following settings.

The merchant needs to ensure their Ready 2 Ship settings are configured to:

  • Download only orders with "Paid" payment status

  • Recognize the tag applied by the Master Flow (if applicable to your setup)

Action: Review your Ready 2 Ship configuration and confirm it matches your Order Editing setup.


Integration Limitations

Shipping Method Updates Not Supported

Ready 2 Ship does not support shipping method changes during the editing window.

Required action: Disable the Shipping Methods App Block in Order Editing to prevent customer confusion.

Testing

Test before going live:

  3. Make edits during editing window (add/remove items, change address)

  4. Wait for editing period to expire

  5. Confirm order appears in Ready 2 Ship with all edits

  6. Verify tags are applied correctly (if part of your setup)

Troubleshooting

Orders appearing too early: Verify payment capture setting and Flow activation

Orders not appearing after grace period: Check Flow is capturing payment correctly and applying tags

Edits not reflecting: Ensure edits were completed before grace period ended (Ready 2 Ship doesn't read live edits)

Tags not appearing: Verify Master Flow is configured correctly to apply tags
