Auto order placement - shipping method

Gabriella

New Member
Hi Experts, can you please help me? I'm testing the auto order placement by creating a test order for myself. I noticed that the order is created in Aliexpress with a $6 shipping cost (ePacket), but I want a free shipping method... Is it set somewhere that ePacket should be the first shipping method that the system should choose? I can't find anything about it anywhere. Or how does it work?
I would like to use the auto order placement function but I want to choose the shipping method myself, because if ePacket is expensive to a certain country then it's not a good solution for me.
Am I doing something wrong? Pls, share your best practices about this. Thank you!

If ePacket was selected at extension's settings when importing products - it will be chosen automatically during autofilling:

You can switch to Free Shipping when importing products and Free Shipping will be chosen automatically on checkout while autofilling.

Or you can change method of delivery on checkout :

Yes, all is done exactly as you said, I even repeated this now. The problem is, only the first variation's shipping option is selected as ePacket and the rest remain as they are. This is a huge problem as when placing orders a human might forget to double check if ePacket is selected as the shipping option of all items and place the order. :/

you need to remember to set ePacket before import products. In this case there is no need to check method of delivery while autofilling.

This is what is happening then!:

ePacket option gets selected for the first VARIATION / ORDER only and not the others! -.- Even if buyer buys different items in one TRANSACTION / ORDER, the ePacket is selected for the very first item, ONLY!
