Product-level controls (eligibility, tags)

Product-Level Controls & Eligibility Tags

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.
