Using Order Shipping Presets

Use an Order Shipping Preset to quickly configure a shipment with commonly used settings. Presets are a great time saver when you frequently ship orders with the same carrier, service, package type, weight, and other attributes. Presets will apply all settings to a shipment, or multiple shipments, with a single click.

A preset can include any of the following:

  • Ship from address

  • Weight

  • Domestic Carrier and Service

  • International Carrier and Service

  • Insurance provider

  • Insure Amount

  • Tracking confirmation

  • Dimensions

Presets are very similar to Favorites, which perform the same function in the MAIL tab (online) or the Packages tab (PC software).
