Setting this ensures all sales orders must be manually approved. This is especially useful for ensuring orders, which were automatically created from a selling channel sale are authorised before any shipping takes place.

Shipping Settings

Default Courier

Sets the default courier for your Shipments. The setting kicks in for all new shipments created after setting the default courier.

Post Haste Account Number

If you have a Post Haste account number then you should set this so that it defaults through to your shipments. This helps us to work out which tracking URL to use so that your customers can see their shipment tracking progress on the Post Haste website. If you use pre-paid Post Haste tickets instead of an account, then you don’t need to complete the account number.
