Fallback price

We advise you to activate Fallback price. Тhis is the "backup" shipping price that is applicable to the first three pricing methods (Cargus Courier calculator/+ processing fee/+ free shipping). With Fallback price the orders in your store will be able to be fulfilled, even if the supplier's calculator does not work properly or the connection to the system cannot be established. When you enable this functionality, you have to set a backup shipping price that will be activated as needed.


  • Fixed value by price without Cargus Courier calculator - choosing this type of service, you must manually fill in the value of the shipping according to the final price of the order.

You also have the option to set different price conditions for different product categories. To do this, enable the option from the button ON/OFF.

In this section, you can choose whether this shipping method is applied globally as it applies to all payment methods you have activated in your store (ON/OFF button) or to be applied only to certain payment methods from the ones you have configured in your store (you can select them from the drop-down menu).  

Settings for receiving the shipment

In this section, you can easily enter default values for parameters such as weight, width, height, length for all products that do not have this data entered. This will make it much easier for you because you will not have to enter the parameters for each product separately in order for the volume weight to be calculated later. See more about how we calculate volume weight here.

  • Default weight for one item - enter the default weight for a product. If you have not entered a weight for a certain product, the system will take into account the weight specified in this field.  
  • Default width for one product - enter the default width. If you have not entered a width for a product, the system will take into account the width specified in this field.  
  • Default length for one product - enter the default length. If you have not entered a length for a product, the system will take into account the length specified in this field.  
  • Default height for one product - enter the default height. If you have not entered a height for a product, the system will take into account the height specified in this field.  
  • Who pays the shipping cost - select the sender or receiver to be the default payer. Of course, this also depends on your choice of the type of service you have chosen. If you have selected a fixed value, then the receiver cannot be the default payer. Also, if you have specified "free shipping" above, again the default payer is the sender, even if you have selected the receiver in this field.  

  • Shipment inspection - if you enable this option customers will be able to open the package upon delivery and check the products.
  • Enable cash on delivery - you can enable this option if you want your customers to be able to pay for their orders upon delivery.
