Features

The workflow behind Buy Now, Ship Later.

Addora connects checkout, held orders, customer self-service, shipping-fee collection, and fulfillment visibility. The result is a real Ship Later workflow, not a manual workaround.

Held orders

Shopify fulfillment holds and lifecycle labels keep waiting orders out of the packing flow.

Customer portal

Shoppers choose eligible held orders and start one consolidated shipping checkout.

Feature FAQ

Practical rollout questions.

Can we name the shipping method ourselves?

Paid plans can fully customize the shipping method name and description. No Addora marker is required, and Addora detects Ship Later orders regardless of the name you choose.

Is the checkout acknowledgement available on every Shopify plan?

No. The core Ship Later flow works without Shopify Plus, but the full checkout opt-in UI extension depends on Shopify Plus or checkout-extensibility access.

How do teams identify held orders in Shopify?

Addora uses fulfillment holds, lifecycle metafields, labels, and tags so teams can identify what should wait, what is dispatching, what belongs to billing, and what has shipped.

Can every mixed order be split automatically?

No. Split behavior depends on fulfillment mode and whether Shopify's fulfillment-order topology can be safely split. Addora falls back when splitting is not safe.
