Product-Level Controls & Eligibility Tags

Written by Steve Jones

Alpaca allows you to manage which products are eligible for pickup, delivery, or shipping, and use tags to control schedules and rates.

Setting Product Eligibility

  • Go to Products in Alpaca.

  • For each product, choose if it can be picked up, delivered, or shipped.

  • Use bulk actions to update many products at once.

Using Tags

  • Assign custom tags to products for advanced rules (e.g., “perishable”, “bulky”).

  • In your pickup/delivery schedules, specify which tags must be present (or absent) for those options to show.

  • Sync Shopify product tags to Alpaca for easier management.

Example Use Cases

  • Only allow pickup for “perishable” items.

  • Restrict certain products from being delivered.

  • Offer special schedules for specific product categories.

Tip:
Tags are powerful! Review your schedules and rates to see where tags can automate your rules.
