MachShip Settings

Setting Description
API Token

Enter your MachShip API Token into this field to connect the app to your MachShip account.

Use the ‘Test Connection’ button to verify if this process was successful.

Override Shipping Name

The value entered in this field will override the shipping option name shown when the quote is displayed to the user. Alternatively, you can leave this blank to display the default name, which will be the title of the quoted carrier service.

Default Cubic Conversion

This value will be used, along with a product’s weight, to calculate the length, width or height for products missing any of these values.

The placeholder will be calculated as the cube root of the product’s weight when divided by the conversion value.

Margin Type

Use this option to set the type of additional margin, if any, charged to customers.

Fixed margins will use your store’s selected currency.

Margin Amount

Use this option to set the value of the additional margin charged.
