Setting	Description
Shipping calculator title	The name of the single rate when Checkout pricing is set to one flat rate. Live courier rates keep their courier names.
Default delivery building type	Residential or Commercial. Checkout addresses are quoted as this type, except an address with a company name, which is always quoted as commercial. It matters for couriers that price residential deliveries differently.

Default item size

Fallback length, width and height (cm) for a product or variant that has no dimensions in the app.

Weight always comes from the Shopify variant weight. If a variant has no weight, Transdirect uses the default weight you set in the onboarding Dimensions step (or 5 kg if none was saved), so set real weights in Shopify.

Transit warranty

Setting	Description
Include transit warranty on every quote sent through this module	Adds transit warranty to every checkout quote.
Transit warranty value (AUD)	The declared value used to calculate the warranty fee.

When warranty is on, its fee is included in the rate shown at checkout.

Quote options

These control which rates customers see and what is added to them:

Setting	Description
Quote display	Display all quotes, Display cheapest, or Display cheapest and fastest.
Include tail-lift pickup option and Include tail-lift delivery option	When any item weighs more than 25 kg, add a tail lift at pickup, delivery or both.
Hide ETA in shipping rates	Hides the estimated transit time that otherwise appears in each rate’s description.
Apply general surcharge	A fixed amount ($) or percentage (%) added to every quote. While it is on, per-courier surcharges are ignored.

Checkout pricing

Open the Checkout pricing card to choose what customers pay:

Show live courier rates at checkout: the courier’s price for that cart.
Live rates + a small markup: a percentage or a flat handling fee added to every live rate.
One flat rate, no live quotes: a single price for every order. It is named with your Shipping calculator title (or “Standard shipping” if that is empty).

Live rates need a Shopify plan that includes third-party carrier rates.

Packing mode

Packing mode is chosen during onboarding and has no card of its own. To switch later, open Order boxing and turn Group items into your boxes when quoting on (pack into your boxes) or off (ship in product packaging). See Order boxing.

Tailgate and heavy items

Items over 25 kg generally need a forklift or a tail-lift truck to load and unload, and most residential addresses have no forklift. If you ship heavy goods to consumers, turn on the tail-lift options in Quote options. When a tail lift applies, its cost is included in the quoted total.
