Shipping Rules

Automation removes the need to perform manual, repetitive tasks by automating your shipping process and workflows. You can use these to set predefined rules that assign your preferred carrier for particular types of shipments.

Navigate to the Shipping rules setting in MyParcel.com and click on the “New automation rule” button towards the top right.

If you have multiple shops ensure the correct shop is selected that you want to create the rule for.

Enter the country or countries that this rule will apply to. If you do not need to add a Condition, click “Next.”
