In today’s world, online shoppers are becoming more and more savvy. They know what they want and they aren’t afraid to ask for it. That’s why it’s so important for ecommerce stores to offer a variety of shipping options so that customers can choose the one that works best for them.
But not all customers want to be kept in the loop about their package’s whereabouts. In some cases, certain customers might want to keep their location private for security reasons or simply because they don’t want to be bothered with updates. If you run an online store and offer shipping options, it’s important to hide those options from certain customer groups on your Shopify site. Let’s take a look at how you can do that.
How to Disable Order Processing for a Group of Customers
If you have a large shopping cart with a lot of customers, it can be helpful to disable order processing for a group of customers. This way, the customers won’t be able to add items to their carts and checkout as usual.
To disable order processing for a group of customers on Shopify:
1. Navigate to your Shopify admin panel and go to Settings -> Sales -> Shipments.
2. In the Orders section, select the customer group you want to disable order processing for.
3. Uncheck the Enable Order Processing checkbox next to this customer group.
4. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
How to Hide Shipping Options from Customer Groups on Shopify
If you want to hide shipping options from certain customer groups on Shopify, there are a few different ways to do this. The first way is to use the Shopify admin panel. Open the Shopify admin panel and click on Customers in the left-hand menu. In the Customers list, select the customer group that you want to hide shipping options from and click on Edit in the top-right corner of the screen. Under Shipping Options, change the setting from Show All to None.
The second way to hide shipping options from certain customer groups is to use a plugin. There are several available online, but we recommend using Shipstation for this purpose. Install Shipstation and open it up. In the top-left corner of the screen, click on Settings and then in the Settings window, under Shipping Options, change the setting from Show All to None.
Conclusion
If you own a store that sells products online, then you know that one of the most important aspects of running your business is keeping your customers happy. One way to do this is to make sure that you keep shipping options hidden from customers in your customer group so that they don’t have to scroll through every product to find out how much it will cost them to have it shipped. This can be done by using Shopify’s shipping settings.
