Manage Custom Shipping Options

Manage Custom Shipping Options

You can add shipping methods which will show up while creating a shipment on Quivers. There is a list of standard options which always exist, but if there is something missing from our defaults, you can add your own!

Let's take a look at where this is managed in the Quivers Admin Panel:

1. Select "Settings" from the left-hand Quivers admin panel menu. 

2. From the tab menu within Settings, select "Shipping Methods." Here you will see our complete list of global shipping option defaults. You can disable or enable shipping methods at any time by clicking the far right-hand checkbox in the row of the shipping method. 

Don't see a shipper you use? Let's add them:

1. Click the blue button in the top right labeled "Add Shipping Method." 

2. Then, enter the following: 

• Shipping Method Name is the name of the shipping method you would like to see displayed in your admin panel and to the customer. 
• Shipping method description is not required but if a description will help, add what makes most sense to you here. 
• Shipping method tracking URL is used to enable link clicking for consumers in their shipment confirmation notification email and for business users looking at the order within the Quivers Admin Panel. 

If the tracking carrier has a standardized email address you will want to enter it here with {TRACKING_NUMBER} at the end. 

For example, if I was adding FedEx as a method, I would enter this in the shipping method tracking URL field:

"https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=track&trackingnumber=/{TRACKING_NUMBER}"

Pro tip: Not sure what the tracking URL is? Type "FedEx tracking" into Google and copy the URL before the tracking number from the address bar, e.g. to get the FedEx tracking link, I searched a random tracking number from FedEx and got this link:

https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=track&trackingnumber=9123891823081023801823&cntry_code=us&locale=en_US

Which I then shortened to https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?action=track&trackingnumber=/{TRACKING_NUMBER} for Quivers. 

*Keep in mind this not a required field, but is nice to have!
