1. How does order splitting at shipment work with the mobile apiary?

This feature makes partial order shipment easier. You can split an order into several parcels depending on how the products were prepared via the mobile apiary.

Example: If an order contains several items and you have only prepared some of them, you can ship the ready items while automatically generating a backorder for the remaining items.

 

2. Enable order splitting at shipment with the mobile apiary

To enable this feature, you need to contact Shippingbo support so that they can activate it.
