3. Additional Options
Use a locker to send standard shipments
Flag this additional option if you wish to start your shipment from one of the recognized lockers. Remember that this option is automatically turned on when the C2C service is activated. If the “standard” service is activated, you can ship the parcel from one generic locker by scanning the barcode and inserting the parcel in the lockbox. This is recommended mainly for return shipments.
Enable the Test Mode if you'd like to make some test shipments. Please keep in mind that this option should be flagged only if you have test credentials, not production credentials!
