Setting Your Options for Shipping
There are a few options you can configure for your shipping that are relatively new to the system. When you go to the Shipping Settings page, if you don't see options as those pictured below, please call our Support team and we can get this newer shipping interface enabled for you. Please note: This article is an overview that covers the major functions of this tab, for full details on setting up ShipStation integration, and creating your Domestic and International Shipping Methods, please click here.
- Enable System Configured Shipping Options - If you want the Rain system to dictate what charges are set for your various shipping methods, you will need to set this to ON. Click the Configure button to set up your Domestic and International Shipping Methods. For further details on how to set up your Domestic and International Shipping Methods, click here and scroll down to the section on Configuring Shipping Methods.
- Enable Shipping Station Integration - Our system has the ability to integrate with ShipStation.com so you can use the shipping settings from your account there for carriers such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx. PLEASE NOTE: This integration is technically in Beta and may not work for all clients! Please click here for full details on how to configure your integration with ShipStation, after you click, scroll down to the section on Working with ShipStation. If you wish to use it, turn it ON and click to Configure your settings.
- Charge Taxes on Shipping - If you are required to charge tax on shipping, you can click this setting to ON so that the shipping charges will be taxed along with the rest of the order.
- Enable In-Store Pickup - If you want online shoppers to have the option of coming to your location and picking up their order, turn this option ON. When you click to Configure the settings, you will see a panel pop up with options for your different Locations (if you have multiples). Just check the box next to the Location(s) you want and click Save. Your online shoppers will have the option of choosing whichever Locations you have selected as the place to go to pick up their order.
- Enable Curbside Pickup - You can offer your website customers the option to pick up their order while parked outside your store by setting this function to ON. Click the Configure button to set up which of your locations (if you have multiple locations set up in the system) will be using curbside pickup. You can enter the instructions that will be given to the customer on what to do when they arrive at the store to pick up their order, as shown below. These instructions are given to them when they initially complete their web order, and are also emailed to them when you mark the order as Ready for Pickup in the Orders module.
- Enable International Shipping - If you wish to fulfill international orders, set this option to ON. You will still need either the in-system shipping methods set up, including at least one International method, OR you will need to have the ShipStation integration on and have international options there.
- Show Shipping Options with Wholesale Checkout - If you use our wholesale shopping cart, you have the option of offering your shipping options to your wholesale clients by setting this function to ON.
- Calculate Shipping After Discount - By default, the system will calculate the shipping of web orders before discounts are applied to the order's total. If you turn this setting ON, that calculation will happen after the discounts have been applied.
Where's my Save button? This tab of your settings was created to save your options as you set them, so those changes were saved along the way, and you don't need to click a Save button.
