Shopify Freight Shipping: Shopify Freight Shipping Apps Configurability

Introduction

Hey there! It's Jeremy with Easy Logistics Management and Global Trans. We've been receiving numerous inquiries and questions about our different e-commerce free shipping API automation suites. I wanted to delve deeply into the exact configurations and customization possibilities, especially focusing on our Shopify e-commerce app.

Getting Started

First, you need a Shopify e-commerce website. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you set up:

Download the Global Trans Freight Shipping LTL App: Visit the Shopify App Store and enable our Global Trans Freight Shipping LTL app.
Create a Global Trans Account: Connect with us to open your Global Trans Freight Shipping LTL account, enable it with payment to get it ready for moving loads.
Request API Key Code: Finally, request your API key code and import it into the Global Trans Freight Shipping app on Shopify. This will integrate all accessible carriers and rates.

Configuration Steps

Here's a detailed look at configuring the app:

Select Carriers: Choose whether to see all carriers or specific ones based on your preference.
Quote Settings: Choose if you want customers to see the lowest cost carrier, fastest transit time, or add a markup.
