Enter the name of the Carrier and then the carrier's URL for tracking orders in the Add window. Enter the word FOMTRK in the new carrier's URL where the tracking number would be listed (e.g., if there is a "tracknumber=" or "tracknum=" string in the carrier's URL, you would append FOMTRK to it - i.e., "tracknumber=FOMTRK" as a placeholder for the tracking number).

●        Select entry points for the selected delivery methods (if applicable). Entry points specify how the product will be transferred to the shipping agent (such as Drop Off, Daily Pickup, One Time Pickup Web, One Time Pickup Phone) and are not available for all delivery methods.

●        Assign a Display Priority to the delivery method to set the order in which the delivery methods display to buyers when placing orders. For example, assigning a delivery method 1 will cause it to show up at the top of the list.

If you do not use the Display Priority settings, the default display will be in alphabetical order. You can assign a Display Priority only to selected delivery methods. The ones with assigned priorities will display at the top of the list; those without assigned priorities will be listed in alphabetical order below the assigned methods.
