Translation from Norwegian to English: Many are requesting functionality to set the price of the shipping method customers see at checkout, based on the actual price the online store has to pay to the carrier.

Question 2

Connect Woocommerce freight methods to deliveries

Accepted Answer

When we say shipping methods, we mean WooCommerce shipping methods (such as flat rate, etc.) that customers see and select in the cart and at checkout.

The shipping methods determine which transport product (e.g., Bring MyPack, PostNord Home Delivery, etc.) is chosen when the order is sent for transport.

Under WooCommerce - Settings - Wildrobot - Shipping Methods and Shipping Products, you can manage shipping methods in relation to transport products and set settings such as automatic printing of return labels or setting a print time. You do not need to fill out everything; if not, only your default values will be used.

Another example with Package in the Mailbox, which prints at 21:15, and the EDI information is transferred to the carrier at 21:30. The eNotification service is also added.

Calculate Dimensions on Deliveries?

Include Tracking Link in Email When Order is Completed?
