Managing Scheduled Orders
A merchant can manage Scheduled Orders for customers on the backend by selecting "View/Edit" in Autoship Cloud > Scheduled Orders. This is outlined here: Editing Scheduled Orders.
From here, a merchant can help the customer update their shipping address, products, next occurrence date, and more just as the customer can from My Account > Scheduled Orders.
Additional Settings
As a merchant, you have many settings available in Autoship Cloud > Settings > Options. These options allow you to:
- Customize the wording of your Autoship program
- Enable free shipping at Checkout if Autoship is selected
- Change how your Scheduled Orders are displayed to customers
- Enable Autoship options on the cart page
- And more!
Additional Features
There are many features included in your Autoship Cloud integration that may be helpful to a merchant or their customers.
- Merchants can enable Customer Notifications so customers are informed of updates to their Scheduled Orders
- Protip! You can also manage customer notifications through our Klaviyo integration!
- Customize how you educate your customers about the benefits of your Autoship Program. Learn more here: Autoship Cloud Info Link Settings
- Set your own frequency options across your whole site or for individual products
- An optional setting is lock windows for Scheduled Orders - this prevents changes to Scheduled Orders X days before the process.
- A merchant can utilize Autoship Link Builder for WooCommerce Products which is a powerful marketing tool for upsells.
