Company Shipping Preferences


Overview

Whether you want to automatically split multi-item orders or apply a default handling fee, Sellercloud allows you to configure custom shipping rules for each company where orders are imported. Most of the Company-Level Shipping Preferences also offer control over the different types of orders imported into Shipbridge and require users to enter a security PIN to access specific options and actions.

These settings only apply to orders associated with the Company where they are configured.
