Setting up a shipping module might resemble setting up a payment gate. In both cases you have to set an account and get all necessary details to let the system work properly.
At present, ViArt shop support four main delivery services by default, namely UPS, UPSP, FedEx and CanadaPost. All of them have some notes for you on how to set up the module and which data you have to provide. Please read them carefully and fill in the appropriate parameters.
At the moment we will take a closer look at the fields you will have to fill out.
Please go to Administration > Shopping Cart > Shipping Settings and click any 'Edit Shipping Module' link you like. You can use the 'New Shipping Module' link as well. (In our case it was UPSP.)
What you see should look like the following:
The first two fields are:
- Is Active enables/disables the module
- Shipping Module Name presents the name of the module
The next field is 'Notes' which contains some explanations on how to set up the shipping module and which data to provide.
After that 'Other Parameters' follow:
They define whether the module is external (i.e. some data will be sent out of your online store system), PHP External Library (supplied with your ViArt Shop), External URL (to which the data will be sent), and Tracking URL (where customers can track their orders).
And at the end you have to specify the parameters that will be passed to the delivery service. They can be like the following:
Note that you have to provide the details you've got with your account.
In order to save the changes you made click the 'Update' button.
In order to delete the shipping module, click the 'Delete' button.
If you want to leave without saving click 'Cancel'.
Note: You can set some shipping settings for a separate product. For more information see section 5.4.2, see section 7.1.3.
