Shopify Enhanced is Starshipit's improved Shopify Integration which supports improved use of fulfillment locations and Shopify tags. You can integrate as many Shopify stores into your Starshipit account as you like.
What you need to get started
Before getting started with Shopify you will need a few things:
- Your Shopify store name
Your store name is located within the URL for your Shopify account when you are logged into Shopify-- after the https:// and before .myshopify. For example, if your URL is https://amazing-clothing.myshopify.com/admin/settings/checkout, then the store name is amazing-clothing - Shopify username
- Shopify password
You will need to complete the set-up process through Starshipit directly (app2.starshipit.com) instead of the Shopify app or the Print Application.
How to set up Shopify Enhanced
To enable Shopify on your account:
- In your Starshipit account, go to Settings > Integrations.
- Click Add a new integration, then select Shopify from the list.
- Select Enhanced under Integration Version.
- Enter your shop name.
- Click Authorise. This will redirect you to Shopify to log in and provide Starshipit access to your website.
- Test the connection, you're good to go!

FAQs
This can happen with the Shopify Enhanced Integration, where an order is split into multiple fulfilments. You're charged a single shipping fee, but since Starshipit imports each fulfilment individually, we proportionally allocate that shipping cost across each fulfilment.
Here's an example order:
Total shipping paid by customer: $10
Order value: $200
Fulfilment 1 value: $50 → 25% of total → Assigned $2.50 shipping
Fulfilment 2 value: $150 → 75% of total → Assigned $7.50 shipping
Each fulfilment displays a share of the shipping fee based on the item value it includes.
