These settings allow you to configure options that are generally applicable to Ship Via Rules.
Next Slowest Service : StarShip will populate the Service field with the carrier/service that has the next slowest delivery time.
Next Fastest Service : StarShip will populate the Service field with the carrier/service that has the next fastest delivery time. This is the default setting.
In addition to the rate quote that was selected for a shipment, any other valid rate quotes can also be saved with the shipment when it is processed. This information can be useful for analyzing the logic behind the rate quote that was selected and for examining cost-savings.
When checked, StarShip will store all rate quotes with the shipment when it is processed. When unchecked, only the rate quote for the currently selected carrier and service will be stored. The default setting is unchecked.
This setting only applies to user messages that occur due to Ship Via Rules processing.
Never : The user is not shown messages in any case.
When applied rule is unable to make a selection : A message will be shown when the Switch Rule is applied but the service is not available and/or the rule requires that the user make a service selection. Another case is when the Rate Shop Scenario is applied but no rate quote can be selected due to limitations or conditions.
When applied rule switches carrier/service/account or is unable to make the selection : A message is also shown in the cases above, or when a new carrier/service or account is successfully selected based on an applied rule.
