Cut off time & ship date offset These settings are only relevant if you have one of the options enabled to display a delivery estimate.

Order cut off time

When the app requests shipping quotes, it identifies a shipment date. The estimated delivery date is dependent on the ship date. The cut off time allows you to postpone an order’s shipment date by one workday. Orders received before the cut off time are quoted using the order date as the ship date. Orders received after the cut off time use the next workday as the ship date.

When left blank, the order date will be the ship date. Orders received on weekends will use the next workday as the ship date.

Fulfillment offset days

Enter the number of days to postpone the ship date. This setting is typically used by merchants who want to provide an estimated delivery date with the shipping quotes, but that have a lead time in the fulfillment process.

Example 1

If an order is received before the Order cut off time on the 5th of the month and the Fulfillment offset days is set to 2 days, then the ship date will be the 7th day of the month (assuming the 5th, 6th and 7th are all business days)

Example 2

If an order is received after the Order cut off time on the 5th of the month and the Fulfillment offset days is set to 2 days, then the ship date will be the 8th day of the month (assuming the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th are all business days).

What days do you ship orders?

Identify the days of the week on which you ship orders. The ship date used for the rate request will be modified accordingly, which may affect the expected delivery date.
Lift gate settings Always quote lift gate delivery
Choose this option if you want the lift gate fee to always be quoted in the shipping rate estimate.

Offer lift gate delivery as an option

Choose this option if you want an alternative option presented to the shopper during checkout that includes lift gate delivery.

Always include lift gate delivery when a residential address is detected

This option is available when the address type detection feature in enabled. When it is and the address type is identified as residential, the shopper will not be presented with an option for lift gate delivery. Instead, lift gate delivery will be required and the LTL freight quote will include the lift gate delivery fee.
Hold at terminal Offer hold at terminal as an option
When enabled, an option to have the shipment held at the delivery terminal will be one of the options presented on the Shipping Methods page. The quoted amount will be the same as a quote to the ship to address if it were a commercial address and would not require lift gate delivery (the “standard LTL rate“). This will be a more economical option for customers who would otherwise be subject to the residential address and/or lift gate delivery fee(s). (Learn more)

Label for hold at terminal option

Enter the text string you want used to identify the hold at terminal option on the checkout page.

Adjust the price of the Hold At Terminal Option

Enter a dollar amount (e.g. 5.00) or a percentage (e.g. 5.0%) if you want the amount quoted for the Hold At Terminal option to be different than the standard LTL rate.
Handling unit settings
Weight of handling unit

Enter in pounds the weight of your pallet, skid, crate or other type of handling unit you use. The amount entered will be added to shipment weight prior to requesting a quote.

Maximum weight per handling unit

Enter in pounds the maximum weight that can be placed on the handling unit. If the total weight of the cart exceeds this value, the weight of additional handling units will be added as needed. For example, if the maximum weight is 500 LBS, and the total weight of the cart is 1200 LBS, the weight of the handling units added to the shipment shall be 3 times the weight entered in the Weight of handling unit setting. (=roundup(1200/500,0)*Weight of handling unit)
Handling fee / markup Increases the amount of each returned quote by a specified amount prior to displaying it/them in the shopping cart. The number entered will be interpreted as dollars and cents unless it is followed by a % sign. For example, entering 5.00 will cause $5.00 to be added to the quotes. Entering 5.00% will cause each quote to be multiplied by 1.05 (= 1 + 5%).
Quote Details Choose where you want to see the quote details. The quote details has information about what was included in the quote, such as residential or lift gate delivery. If more than one stocking location was used, each stocking location will be listed along with a list of the products that were quoted as shipping from it. The Additional Details widget is the default and preferred location because it’s visible on the Order Details page. However, if you use another app that also uses the Additional Details widget, you’ll find that the apps overwrite each other. In this case, choose the option to have the quote details written to a screen you can view from the More actions button.
