Print favorites

Unifaun Online has something called Print Favorites, these can be used to make settings for shipping that are not made in Abicart Webshop. The settings can control how end customers are notified (SMS. e-mail, postal mail), as well as other additional services that can be used by the respective carrier. It also gives the possibility to control which additional services will be used (e.g. Climate compensation, Extended ID check. etc.).

What you need to do is to log in to Unifaun admin and go to Maintenance -> Print Favorites.

Create a new print favorite and name it "favorite1" for example.

Then scroll down to the "Service and Additional Services/Selection" section. There are several options for SMS, such as "SMS Notification", "SMS Notification (Return option)", "SMS Reminder", etc. Choose what you want and also check with Unifaun support what it costs and how to activate it with them.

Once everything is done there, go to the delivery method in your store and scroll down to "Event settings in Unifaun Online" and there enter the name you named the print favourite in Unifaun. In our example "favourite1". You have to enter the exact name with lower case, upper case etc. Then that favourite will be used on the next order placed.

F.A.Q. - Frequently asked questions and answers
How do I set up the buyer to automatically receive the tracking number on the delivery confirmation?

A: Then you need to make the following settings:

1 - Activate the "delivery confirmation".

Under Settings -> Document and e-mail content -> Delivery confirmation -> tick "Send delivery confirmation by e-mail when order is marked as shipped".

2 - Set the export settings to Unifaun/Pacsoft.

Under Settings -> External links: "Booking" must be "Direct"

3 - Set the delivery method

On the delivery method, you can choose any option under "Export order".

You must select a "Shipping service" that supports tracking numbers. Check this with Unifaun/Pacsoft if you are unsure who does this.

The setting at "Export Shipment" must be "Inactive" on both.

4 - Set notification for the delivery method

How does it work in practice?


When an order is placed, it is exported to Unifaun directly or manually depending on the setting you have chosen at "Export order" on the shipping method. If you have manual export, you must make sure to export the order to Unifaun only. You must not mark the order as "shipped" at this stage.

When the order is transferred to Unifaun, the shipment is booked and a tracking number is generated. This tracking number is then exported back to the shop and added to the order.

Once the tracking number has been assigned, the order can be marked as "shipped". The tracking number is then sent with the delivery information email.

Customs declarations
To make logistics even smoother for you as a customer between Abicart and Unifaun, we now support the export of shipments with customs declaration. This will be extra smooth and efficient for those sending parcels outside the EU.

The setting is activated per delivery method by checking the "customs declaration" checkbox. To make the customs declaration fully compatible, your webshop must add the HS number for each product. HS stands for Harmonized System and is an international standard for classifying products. They are used, among other things, to calculate the duties and taxes paid to customs authorities when a shipment crosses a customs border.

1) Activate the HS number

Assortment -> Product settings -> In the box on the right, "Product attributes" there is "HS number". Click on the icon with the pen and then select "Private" (so this number is only displayed in admin) or "Public" (if you want to display it on the product page).

2) Enter the HS number of the products.

Assortment -> Products -> select product, edit -> scroll down to the "Properties" block in the left column. A field for the HS number is now displayed.

3) Activate the customs declaration on the delivery method.

Settings -> Freight -> select delivery method, edit -> scroll down to "Event settings Unifaun Online" and under "Export order" tick "Customs declaration".
