In the General tab, you can manage the tracking number at the item level in each order (by Items only) or by Order only. This feature is beneficial if you do AliExpress dropshipping, please DO NOT choose “Order only” as each item of an AliExpress order can have its own tracking number.

• Order only – Each order can have 1 tracking number at a time
• Order items only – Each order item has its own tracking number
• Both order and order item

A. Order only – Each order can only have 1 tracking number at a time

 

B. Each order item has its own tracking number:

• Each order item has its own tracking number (Disable )

• Each order item and the quantity of each item (Enable )

 

Shipping Carriers

Shipping Carriers are individuals or businesses that transport goods or people on behalf of another individual or business and are liable for any loss of the goods during transport. Each shipping carrier formed in the plugin has 4 information: Carrier Name, Display Name, Shipping Country, and Tracking ULR of the carrier.

In the Shipping Carriers tab, you can select available shipping carriers or customize the shipping carriers that you use on your site. The plugin will generate tracking links to the tracking page of the carriers.

A. Available Shipping Carriers

This is the simplest option to integrate with and only requires two lines of HTML to render the checkbox.
• ReCaptcha 3: reCAPTCHA v3 allows you to verify if an interaction is legitimate without any user interaction.
