BUILD A BOX FOR SHOPIFY

Let collectors build a shipment across real orders.

Build-a-box is the customer-led side of Addora’s readiness system. Shoppers place real Shopify orders over time, hold eligible purchases, and later release the items they want in one shipment.

BEFORE CHECKOUT

Bundle builder

One order, one cart, assembled in one session. The product choice is bundled before payment.

AFTER CHECKOUT

Addora build-a-box

Many real orders over time, held and shipped together later. The customer controls the shipping moment.

Want the full distinction? See build a box for Shopify collectors (not a bundle builder).

Launch checklist

Build-a-box works when the promise is obvious.

The software protects the workflow; the rollout makes the choice understandable.
01

Name the promise

Use clear shopper language: buy now, hold your order, ship selected purchases later.

02

Set checkout expectations

Make it clear that shipping is charged later, not waived.

03

Create the Order Summary page

Give customers one place to see held items and start shipment.

04

Protect fulfillment

Use held-order states and tags so your team knows what should wait.

05

Promote the workflow

Explain build-a-box where collectors already look: product pages, post-purchase, email, and social.

Merchant examples

Collector stores need education as much as software.

The strongest launches explain why the workflow exists before asking shoppers to use it.

Bry's Comics

YouTube + website walkthrough

Bry's Comics introduced Build a Box by walking customers through the workflow publicly and giving them a dedicated page on the store so expectations were clear from the start.

  • They announced the feature on YouTube and showed customers exactly how it works.
  • They created a dedicated Build a Box page to explain the process.
  • They enabled a confirmation step so customers intentionally choose the hold-and-ship-later workflow.
  • The extra acknowledgement helps avoid accidental selections and reduces support cleanup.

Cards in Japan

Instagram rollout

Cards in Japan introduced Addora through Instagram, explaining the process clearly so collectors understood the value immediately.

  • They educated customers before rollout instead of expecting shoppers to work it out alone.
  • That clarity helped customers adopt the workflow quickly and with confidence.
"The app is amazing, it's extremely convenient, and it's a game changer for ecommerce websites that ship to the other side of the world and have relatively high shipping costs."

PRE-ORDERS. SHIP LATER. BETTER TOGETHER.

Give collectors a box worth coming back for.

Let customers secure purchases today, keep shopping, and release one shipment when they are ready.
