Peter commented on PAYMENT AND SHIPPING

Hey, Gil. 

Peter here from Shopify Support. 

Taking a look here, I can say for certain that this isn't something Shopify offers natively, nor was I able to find an app that'd be able to add the functionality. Nevertheless, if you wanted to follow up below with why this would benefit your business, then I can ensure your feedback is sent up as a feature request. This way, our products team can review whether getting this feature added to the platform is achievable, and what it will take to implement it platform-wide. 

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

All the best, 

Peter

Hi Brittany,

Though there are some notifications that can't be turned off, there are some that you can disable in the Settings for your entire account.

Go to Settings, and select Checkout: 

Then scroll to the Order Processing section and go to the section called "After an order has been paid."

There, you can de-select "Notify customers of their shipment."

Then, you can use your Mailchimp notifications instead.

As a third party fulfillment center, our software notifies customers of theri shipments and tracking info, etc. (don't worry, we make it optional!) and some of our customers choose to use our notifications instead of Shopify's, so this is a solution that seems to work for them.

Good luck!

Michael

Our customers using Shopify have wondered why there isn't a way to limit the shipping options on the product level. i know some of that can be done using third party apps, but they might cost a bit to use.

For now, though, communincation with your customers is key. Let them know in the product description, and anywhere else, (even in one of the product images) that this item is not available for international purchase. The earlier they realize this the more forgiving they will be with you and your store. You don't want them going through the entire shopping, choosing, confirming, checkout process, only to discover that they won't be getting their item.

Hope this helps a little!

Hi, Displaygod.

This is Max from the Shopify Team. 

It's good to hear you're looking into why some of your add-to-carts are not converting into sales! Often it's money-related (possibly currency or shipping price is throwing off customers).

The available payment options depend on your physical location. The available payment providers for the UK are all listed in your admin under Settings > Paymentproviders or you can review them here

Shopify Payments is one provider that we offer. It has its own set of requirements to use it based on what you sell and where you are. At this time Shopify Payments users in the UK are required to sell in GBP. More about those requirements here

If selling in USD is very important to your business, then, please consider adding an alternate payment provider and weigh out the pros and cons! If you decide to change your currency, this can be done by messaging our support team directly. We'd also be happy to take a closer look at your account, if needed.

Cheers, 
Max

Hi, Si!

The three shipping apps I had mentioned on the previous post do require having custom calculated shipping package turned on first in order for them to work properly. DHL works in the UK but the app itself doesn't. The three shipping apps, however, do. I recommend you check out each one of them and see which one works best for you. Don't forget to remove the less desirable ones before their free trial period ends to avoid charges. 

I'm not quite certain about how the apps would integrate with the OrderCup app. That being said, once you have selected the shipping app you would like to move forward to, you can always ask the app's support to clarify on if how it can integrate with the OrderCup or perhaps what's the workaround if it doesn't. 

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Jason

The code still didn't work for my new theme. Did Shopify managed to implement the feature? It's really a hassle IMO. UP!

Hello

I realize you are looking for a way to use discount deals. You can use other discount methods. Discount code is great but it is only shown on the checkout page. I found a discount app and it can show discount price on homepage, product pages, and checkout page. It is Discount Mater.

Don't hesitate to install it. You can try a free plan to check features.

Hi Jordan, 

Nick here from Shopify. 

There are a couple of apps from the Shopify app store which spring to my mind within the UK. The first one is the Royal Mail app which you can see here and another is Zenstores which you can see here. Zenstores has a great rating and supports a lot of countries giving you a wide variety of who to choose from, but it would be a higher monthly cost to other shipping apps. The couriers within Zenstores are very UK based also. 

These are the top UK apps which spring to my mind, I had a look in the App store and couldn't find any others which are as applicable to the UK as these. Hopefully, you can find what you need from one of them. 

Can I ask what you are doing currently for your shipping? Is there something specific you are looking for other than cost reduction also? 

All the best, Nick

PayPal alternatives for high-risk businesses by royce

Original article https://payspacelv.com/paypal-alternatives/

PayPal is one of the biggest and the most popular payment providers. The number of businesses applying for a PayPal merchant account is growing in leaps and bounds. Statista surveys show that in the third quarter of 2018, PayPal had 254 million active accounts around the world compared to 84,3 million in the first quarter of 2010 with more people using this service rather than other PayPal alternatives.

Lots of merchants choose PayPal as the only payment solution for business, and this is the root of their troubles. One of the reasons, in particular, why PayPal has such a brilliant reputation is that it works mostly with low-risk businesses. They really are playing it safe not willing to take on risks associated with high-risk merchants.

So what should high-risk businesses do under such circumstances? And where can they find alternatives to PayPal? Let’s figure out the success formula for high-risk merchants and find out why it is better to use PayPal only for low-risk businesses.

What are the advantages of using PayPal for low-risk merchants?

Choosing a payment provider for your business could be a rather daunting task but low-risk merchants are on the winning ticket undoubtedly. They can benefit from the collaboration with one of the leading payment processors in the following ways:

  • free of charge merchant account opening;
  • all the financial information including bills and transaction reports is secure and well-organized for merchant’s further personal use;
  • PayPal online fees are lower compared to a bunch of other companies;
  • easy integration with the majority of the shopping carts;
  • reasonable prices for merchants

Unfortunately, only low-risk businesses can draw full benefit from the features. This makes high-risk merchants get on the search for services like PayPal.

What are the disadvantages of using PayPal for high-risk businesses?

If a company works in an industry often associated with chargebacks, it automatically falls into the category of high-risk businesses. There are some industries that have a particularly close connection with fraud, refunds, and chargebacks:

  • Nutraceuticals
  • FOREX
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Dating
  • Skill games
  • Retail
  • Gambling
  • Legal services
  • Software and program development
  • Vaping and e-cigarettes, etc.

If you have found your business on the list, it doesn’t mean that you can’t opt for PayPal. But be ready that this provider won’t be an option for processing payments in the long run because of strict regulations regarding high-risk merchants:

  • PayPal doesn’t reject high-risk merchants from the start thus giving them hope for cooperation;
  • If PayPal finds that you have a lot of chargebacks or clients’ complaints, your account can be frozen or terminated without warning;
  • If in the view of PayPal, you break the conditions of service, they may limit the sum of money you can operate with.

So what can merchants that fall into high-risk category do? Look for an alternative to the PayPal processor that focuses on high-risk businesses.

Signs your business would benefit from a high-risk merchant account provider

If your business is considered high-risk, you should automatically narrow down the search for a payment processor. And in the long run, it even makes your life easier. Don’t look for PayPal alternatives among processors that work primarily with low-risk merchants. Google “high-risk merchant account providers” without any hesitation, find a range of options, go through their services and make a decision.

You will find both cheaper and more expensive PayPal alternatives. It depends on whether you need a reliable solution for a small business, startup, non-profit organization, for local or international payments, etc. It is also essential to check if the most relevant, in your opinion, payment provider has already worked with your type of business before. By adhering to these search criteria you’ll get rid of the fear that your account can be blocked anytime and minimize the consequences of chargebacks.

Let’s explore the benefits of collaboration with high-risk merchant account processor.

Benefits of choosing a high-risk merchant account provider

  • Seamless merchant account opening. A reputable high-risk merchant account processor is your lifeline in the ocean of financial institutions unwilling to work with merchants that have a chargeback history. With the support of such a provider, you automatically get the assistance of an expert that knows the ins and outs of the niche. At the same time, thanks to a large number of successfully implemented projects this processor will ensure the competitiveness and longevity of your business.
  • Increased security standards. Regardless of the business type, a reliable processor should offer its clients the highest level of security of their customers’ data. So, the integration of PCI DSS compliant payment gateway into the website is a must for the successful running of your business. High-risk processors normally provide merchant accounts with an elevated detection in the transaction stage. This enables fraud protection for all the parties: merchant, provider, and the card owner.
  • Expanded sales geography. Working without an open digital merchant account means limiting yourself to a local market whilst having an account is a way to draw attention among prospective consumers from all around the globe. Getting a high-risk merchant account is not as complicated as it sounds, besides, a payment provider is here to make the process seamless and, as a result, to expand the horizons for your business.

Final thoughts

PayPal is one of the most powerful payment providers in the world but it works mostly with low-risk businesses. High-risk merchants aren’t forbidden to use PayPal services but this decision will probably require financial terms and swayed reputation. So what can you do as a high-risk merchant?

  1. Take a deep breath and relax: there are lots of sites like PayPal that make a great alternative to it;
  2. Look for an alternative to PayPal processor that focuses on high-risk businesses;
  3. Choose the most relevant solution and fine-tune it to your needs;
  4. Reap the benefit from the increased security, cutting-edge chargeback prevention, and, as a result, an ability to expand into new markets.

Now seems like a good time to mention one of such PayPal alternatives that not only offers excellent payment processing mechanisms but also helps you cut the expenses with lower rates. Sounds interesting? That’s what we at PaySpace offer you today. Just drop us a line to get started!
