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
There are over 90 shipping companies integrated into our plugin that you can quickly choose and assign for your orders.
Go to Orders Tracking > Shipping Carriers
- Filter carrier: You can use the plugin’s pre-integrated shipping carriers or add new carriers. This filter helps you to find pre-integrated shipping carriers or custom shipping carriers you added more quickly.
- Filter countries: This filter helps you to search shipping carriers by country.
- Activate all: This toggle allows you to display or hide only shipping carriers that you work with.
- For example, it will save you time to only show the two shipping companies you are currently using, allowing you to select one quickly when assigning a shipping carrier for an order.
- Default Shipping carrier: If any orders that do not assign with a shipping carrier, this default one will be used.
- In a shipping carrier (not default)
