Drop Shipper documentation for x-cart
Note:
- Drop Shipper Pro calculations are ran in the background. Administrators don’t need to do any configurations for the calculations. For example
- if you assign your New York Products to your New York Drop shipper and your Seattle Products to your Seattle Drop Shipper then Drop Shipper Pro will do the
- calculations for you as long as addresses are entered for each Drop Shipper.
Again, Administrators do not need to configure the shipping calculator of Drop
Shipper Pro.Note:
- Screen Shots are from X-Cart version 4.3.1. The concepts are still the same as earlier versions, views maybe different.
Note:
- If you do not want the Drop Shipper Pro calculator Please Skip step 3 and step 4.
