Configure Global Multiple Shipping Settings 

For standard multi-step checkout, you can configure different line item grouping for the storefront checkout, as well as enable storefront customers to select different shipping methods for different line items or different groups of line items. In addition, you can enable sub-orders to be created for each group of line items.

    Global multi shipping configuration settings

    • Enable Grouping Of Line Items During Checkout — When enabled, line items during checkout are displayed in groups divided by specific criteria (e.g., ID, category, brand, organization etc). This option may affect shipping rules and discount calculations (see other configuration options).

      • Group Line Items By — Select if you want to group line items per ID, category, brand, or parent product.

      • Create Sub-Orders For Each Group — When enabled, in addition to the main order, the system will create respective sub-orders for each group of line items in the back-office. Storefront customers, however, will see only primary orders in their order history.

  6. In the Order History Options section, configure the following options:

    • Show Sub-Orders In Order History — When enabled, customers can see only sub-orders in their order history. Primary orders will be hidden.

    • Show Main Orders In Order History — When enabled, customers can see both the primary order and its sub-orders in their order history.
