If Simplified Mode is selected then the calculator will be hidden and the quotes will automatically be generated depending on the buyers address.
If No Display Mode is selected then no quotes will be generated but your orders will still be synced to your Transdirect account.

Quote Display

Select type of Quote to display, These options will control what quotes are displayed to your clients:

Display All Quotes – This will display all quotes sorted by cheapest to most expensive;
Display Cheapest – This will only show a single quote which is the cheapest;
Display Cheapest & Fastest – This will display two quotes, the cheapest quote, and the fastest quote;

Please keep in mind that all of these options are applied after more advanced options available below are applied.

Apply General Surcharge

This adds a fixed $ amount or a % into the final quotes that displayed, this can be used to cover handling expenses.

Disabling Couriers

If you would like to disable quotes from a particular courier service, then you can uncheck the box left of the row, if unselected quotes for this courier will not be calculated.

Rename / Group Couriers

The rename feature allows for you to hide the name of the courier, and allow something more user friendly to be displayed in the front end, eg. “Air Express” or “Road Courier”

You can also use this option to Group couriers, if you call multiple services by the same name, then only the cheapest option will be used and displayed. For example, you could call all the same day services “Same Day” and all road services “Road Express”, and your client would get presented with only 2 options during the checkout process.
