3. Additional options

 

Then decide whether to select one or more of the following options:

• Url Rewrite disabled - try this option if your URL / API seems not to work for the connection.

• Sync items weight and dimensions to determine the parcels data - Weights and dimensions of your orders added on Prestashop will automatically be imported on ShippyPro.

- You need to add them to your Marketplace in order to be imported and be shown during the creation of the shipment.

- if there are two or more equal items sum the weight and create 1 package,

- if there are two or more different items it creates several separate parcels.

- By removing Sync weight option in order to apply parcel dimensions through My Parcels, all the parcels added will be applied to the next orders

• Sync order carrier with the one selected inside Platform

  Check this option if you would like to update the Prestashop carrier ID based on the ShippyPro carrier used to ship the parcel.
  This means that the carrier name configured on the marketplace will be overwritten with the carrier's name present in ShippyPro every time you create a shipment and we send the update to the marketplace.

• Update my Prestashop profile with shipped orders tracking numbers and mark as shipped - to update your marketplace with tracking information and mark the order as shipped.

• Once the connection has been established you can then choose among the different Status (here called Folders) of the orders to be imported on ShippyPro, some examples are:

- Payment accepted

- Processing in Progress

- Pending

- Awaiting Payment

To select more folders you should use CTRL. ShippyPro will automatically import your orders every 10 minutes.
​
If Folders view is not available in your connection module it means the connection has not been established correctly.
Please check your URL and Auth Key and try to do the connection from scratch.
If nothing changes please contact us.

 

• By selecting “Update Prestashop orders’ status using the ShippyPro Track and Trace”, it will appear a list of Status also present in our Track&Trace section to be assigned to your Prestashop Status.

  This allow ShippyPro to automatically update Prestashop with the right orders statuses.

  For each ShippyPro order status, select the corresponding Prestashop orders status you previously added. If you'd like to know more about the exact meaning of each ShippyPro order status, read this detailed article.

   

  You'll now be able to map the different Status chosen on ShippyPro directly on your Prestashop when you'll receive a tracking update.

Don't forget to save your changes by clicking on Confirm.

 

And what if the statuses are not being correctly updated on my marketplace even after configuring them in Track & Trace?

In that case, please contact our Support team so they can provide you with IP addresses to whitelist.

Note: status updates took place every 8 hours and only the most recent update will be shown: E.g. if the system checks the tracking and the last status is already delivered instead of in transit, only “delivered” status will be sent to Prestashop.

Tip: Prestashop gives you the possibility to create Custom Status. If you want, you can easily set your tracking system directly on your marketplace.

 

If ShippyPro succeeds in establishing the connection, a confirmation message will appear. Then you should click on Edit and select the folders from where you would like to import orders.
