Shipping regions

At this step, you can set the regions to which this shipping method applies or choose to apply it globally from the ON / OFF button. If you turn off the button from the drop-down menu you should select specific shipping regions you have created in advance (in our help articles you can find out what Geo zones and Geo polygons are for and how to apply them correctly).

If you activate this option, the shipping method will be valid and visible to customers only located in the specific region(s) for which you have chosen to apply. For customers who ordered from other regions, this shipping method will not be visible in the checkout.


You can also choose to apply the shipping methods globally by switching the "Make it Global" switch to "On".

Payment provider

At this step, you should choose if this shipping provider will be available for every payment method or only for those that you specify.

If you want to apply this shipping method to all payment providers - switch the option to "All".

Settings for receiving the shipment

At this step, you can set who will pay for the shipment by default. You can designate it to be the sender or the receiver. Also, you can add a default shipping weight.

Additional settings

It's time to add the final settings. 

In this field, you can set up the following fields:

  • Enable cash on delivery - if you want to offer Cash on Delivery, turn the switch to "ON"
  • Return documents -  if you want to create return documents, turn the switch to "ON"
  • Payment method - choose if your preferred method is "cash" or "account"

After you have entered all of the settings, don't forget to hit the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. Now your integration with NTC logistics is ready to be used in your store.
