To enable the integration, click on the Manage Integrations link in the Integrations menu in the left sidebar. Under the Fulfillment tab, find and enable CargoWise.
Alternatively, search for CargoWise from the available integration search.
Once enabled, select the environment you would like to enable (Production for live orders, Sandbox for testing), enter your API Key and Default Warehouse Code provided to you by Logistics Plus, then click Connect.
Please note that Order Desk isn't able to help find or reset your credentials, as they can only be provided by Logistics Plus.

Default Mail Class
Select the default mail class you want CargoWise to use. The shipping method you select will be used for all orders where the method on the order does not match any of CargoWise's shipping method names.
If you need to apply specific methods for certain orders, match your method names to CargoWise's names in the Shipping Class Match section below.
Send Customer Email Address to CargoWise
Select this option if you want the customer's email address to be included with the order details that are sent to CargoWise.
Automatically Send Imported Orders to CargoWise
If you plan to automatically submit every order to CargoWise for fulfillment, you can enable this setting. All orders will be sent as they come in to Order Desk.
If you have any other fulfillment services or will have any orders you don't want to send to CargoWise, keep this disabled. Use rules to submit orders to the appropriate vendor or fulfillment service instead.
Inventory Syncing
Sync Inventory
If you would like CargoWise to send inventory reports to Order Desk, enable this setting. If enabled, your stock counts will be pulled into Order Desk on the interval selected in the next setting.
Sync Update Interval
If Sync Inventory is enabled, select the interval you would like Order Desk to pull in inventory updates from CargoWise.
Inventory Location Name
By default, inventory updates will add CargoWise as the location name on each item updated. If you would like to override this to use a different name, add that here.
Product Settings
For more information on what these product settings in the CargoWise integration are for and how to use them, read the Fulfillment Integration Product Settings guide.
Shipping Class Match
If the shipping methods you set up in your shopping cart(s) don't match the shipping method names CargoWise uses, they won't know what methods you intend for them to use. When this happens, the default mail classes applied above will be used instead for all of your orders.
To tell CargoWise what methods you want them to use, you will need to match your method names to theirs. This can be done in the shipping class match section. For detailed instructions on setting this up, please read through the shipping class match guide.
