If you want Onfleet tasks to be generated from Shopify’s Local Delivery orders, you must first ensure that the relevant location is configured for Local Delivery in Shopify.
Step 1: Enable Local Delivery for a Location
In your Shopify admin, go to "Settings" > "Shipping and Delivery".
In the "Local Delivery" section, confirm whether the location is enabled for local delivery.

If it is not enabled, select the location.
Check "This location offers local delivery".
Configure your "Delivery Zones" using either postal codes or a delivery radius.
Save the configuration by selecting "Save" in the upper right corner.
After confirming that the location is configured in Shopify’s Shipping and delivery, navigate back to the Onfleet Application for additional configuration.
Step 2: Update Checkout Settings
From your Shopify admin, go to "Settings" > "Checkout".
Under "Customer Information," set "Shipping address phone number" to Required.
Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
Step 3: Adjust Order Processing Settings
Go to "Settings" > "General Settings". Under "Order Processing", select "Don’t fulfill any of the order’s line items automatically".
Click "Save".
Once these configurations are complete in Shopify, return to the Onfleet Application to finish setup.
