Checkout options for multi-shipment orders

Marianne, this page is here to help you choose the checkout direction after the customer clicks Proceed to checkout. Single-shipment orders can continue into Shopify checkout normally. Multi-shipment orders need a deliberate path because the customer has already configured recipient-level addresses, dates, cards, and greeting media before this point.

Why this decision page exists

For a single shipment, we can keep the experience close to standard Shopify. For multiple shipments, we have two realistic ways to proceed. Both are valid. The purpose of this page is to show you the trade-off clearly before we lock the build direction.

Path 1 · Recommended when control matters most

Custom checkout

We bypass Shopify checkout for the multi-shipment branch and present a controlled checkout of our own.

  • Marianne, this path keeps all shipment-level choices exactly as already configured in the builder.
  • The checkout can show all recipient shipments clearly without asking the customer to re-enter shipping details.
  • Payment would use a third-party gateway such as Stripe rather than Shopify Payments.
  • TWINT and card payment can both be presented in a familiar checkout layout.

Path 2 · Closest to native Shopify

Keep Shopify checkout

We preserve Shopify checkout, but we accept some checkout-stage repetition for the customer.

  • Marianne, this path keeps taxes, totals, and the final payment flow closer to standard Shopify behaviour.
  • The customer may be asked to confirm one shipping address and shipping method again inside checkout.
  • This is technically lighter, but less elegant for multi-shipment gifting because the builder has already captured shipping data earlier.
  • It is useful when the priority is staying as close as possible to Shopify checkout behaviour.
View Path 2
Marianne, this page is intentionally outside the customer action flow. In the final build, the store would follow the one direction you choose. We are showing both paths here only so you can compare the customer experience, checkout ownership, and operational impact.
