Split shipping can be one of the most complicated and rewarding features your business can offer. For business-to-business eCommerce customers, split shipments become important when dealing with customers that will be buying products for multiple locations, often in the same purchase.

Being able to order once and then split ship to delineate where different parts of the order go can greatly simplify the purchasing process and can increase a client's likelihood of sticking with your business as a supplier. If your business often deals with clients that have multiple locations, split shipping is something you should consider implementing for your B2B shipment needs.
