Transmission mode
By default, the mode is set to automatic. If you want to manually transmit the orders to Planzer, you can change the mode to manual. If the transmission mode is set to automatic, all incoming orders will be sent to Planzer automatically. If the manual option is selected, the order must be sent to Planzer manually.
Exclude products
This option is only available if the transmission mode is set to automatic.
There is an option to exclude certain products. If a customer only orders products which are in the excluded products list, no transmission to planzer will happen. This is handy for e.g. digital products or vouchers you sell in your store.
Exclude shipping methods
This option is only available if the transmission mode is set to automatic.
The Shopify app processes all orders which are made through the webshop. Pickup orders and orders created manually in the shopify admin are ignored. If you want to exclude more shipping methods, you can add the exact name of the shipping method to this field. The app then ignores order which have this shipping method as the selected shipping option.
Manual transmission
If you decide to transmit the orders manually, you can do so by visiting "Send orders manually" page in the app.
Here, you can see all orders with the option to transmit them to Planzer.
Please note that we can only show orders since the app was installed. Orders which were created before the installation of the app are not shown here. This is due to a limitation in the Shopify API.
Pro-tip: Even if the transmission mode is set to automatic, you can still use the manual transmission page to create a second label or delivery note for an order.
Process
Once the app is installed, the configuration is filled in and the test mode is disabled, all new orders which are created will be processed by our app and transmitted to Planzer. You can check it in the Planzer Portal.
In addition to transmitting the orders to Planzer, the app creates a delivery note or a label and sends this label to the email address specified in the configuration page.
FAQ

Please check a few things:
- Is your configuration completely filled out?
