Shippit: Multivendor Marketplace for Shopify

Multi-Vendor Marketplace for Shopify is now Integrated with another shipping add-on: Shippit

What is Shippit Shipping?

Shippit is a web-based, multi-carrier shipping solution for e-commerce retailers. Designed to streamline the fulfillment process.

This feature will allow you to ship your goods via multiple carrier shipping methods. Moreover, you can automatically generate shipping labels.

NOTE:

The Shippit feature app is available only with the Multivendor Pro Plan ($60/month). Moreover, you need to enable the Shipping add-on (free) from the ‘feature apps’ section of the app.

Above all, access to Shipping requires your Shopify store to be on the plan that supports Real-Time Carrier-Calculated Shipping.

Also, you can enable only one shipping method within Shippit to calculate the shipping rates.
