Split checkout allows separate shipping selections for items coming from different locations.
Unlike a standard checkout, where the customer selects a single shipping method for the entire order, split checkout breaks the order into multiple shipments, each tied to a specific warehouse, vendor, or supplier. This way, customers can see and choose shipping methods individually for each shipment, reflecting real-world fulfillment.
Why it matters: It’s essential for stores using multiple fulfillment centers, dropshipping, or marketplace-style setups.
