🚚 Additional pickup days
By adding the number of days (up to 5 days max) you can schedule the pick for all your shipments with Amazon Shipping.
🧪 Test Mode
Enable the Test Mode if you’re adding your test store API Key during the connection.
In case you’re shipping in staging environment (test orders), please note that Amazon Shipping could return different tracking numbers that all bear the same tracking updates for the same recipient
In production environment this is not the case - the tracking numbers are unique and the tracking updates correspond to the real parcel status.
🔎 Do not show third parties rates
Amazon marketplace orders return all available carriers that the merchant has enabled in their Seller Central account (the carrier could be BRT, Amazon Shipping, etc.). In this case, if you only want to see the Amazon Shipping rates and exclude all other carriers, you can flag the option "Do not show third parties rates".
