Postal service settings and New postal service

1. Postage Settings

Settings > Postal Services Methods > Postage Settings

By selecting this tab you can choose postage settings that are used in the system.

  • Select "Show postage details on order processing screen" in order to show, or not to show postage details on the order processing screen.

  • Select "Allow changing postage information on order process screen" in order to allow, or not to allow postage information changes on the order process screen.

  • Select "Packaging Information Required" in order to allow, or not to allow changing postage information on the order process screen. If you choose that packaging information is required, then packaging type will have to be chosen (not default) and weight of the product must be specified (not 0).

When this function is turned on the system will show you that the information is wrong but the order will be processed anyway.

  • If you want the order with incorrect postage or packaging information not to be processed, tick the box Only order with correct postage/packaging information can be processed.
