Intershipper

The Intershipper shipping engine requires each user to sign up for an account with them, and it charges a small fee for shipping quotes. For more information, or to obtain an account with Intershipper please go to <a label="external" target="_blank" href="http://www.intershipper.com">http://www.intershipper.com/</a>.
Note, that for every time a customer reaches the Shipping step in the checkout, or the administrator opens the Shipping tab in a pending order, an Intershipper query will be performed if this engine is enabled.
The accuracy of the Intershipper quotes will depend on the accuracy of the product weight information (please do not forget to include the packaging weight), and the dimensions of the products.
The Intershipper settings are as follows:

  • ID – read-only internal system ID of the shipping engine.
  • Name – built-in name of the shipping engine.
  • Enabled – the checkbox that controls whether the Intershipper engine is enabled or not.
  • Account Login – Intershipper account login. For more information, to signup for Intershipper, or to retrieve the account information go to <a href="http://www.intershipper.com" target="_blank" label="external">http://www.intershipper.com/</a>. This account will be used to retrieve the quote information for every order.
  • Account Password – Intershipper account password.
  • Carriers - here you can select which carriers the Intershipper will provide quotes for. Currently, Intershipper supports FedEx, UPS, DHL/Airborne and USPS. Not all of the carriers will be available for shipping from outside of the United States. For each carrier, you have to enter your account number with that carrier, and specify whether the account is invoiced.
  • Delivery – here you can choose what types of delivery to offer to your customers from each of the carriers. The Intershipper choices are First, Second, Third days and Ground shipping.
  • Ship Method – this field allows you to select how you are going to deliver the packages to the carrier for shipment.
  • Flat Surcharge – a fixed amount to be added to every quote retrieved by Intershipper.
  • Percentage Surcharge – a percentage amount to be added to every quote retrieved by Intershipper.
