  • Allow multiple boxes: If you would like to pack products into multiple boxes select YES. The maximum USPS weight per box will be the breakpoint. If Smart Flat Rate shipping is enabled the dimensions of the Flat Rate boxes and envelopes will also be used to break into multiple boxes.
  • Rate Type: Select the USPS rate type to offer to your customer. The options are RETAIL, COMMERCIAL ONLINE or COMMERCIAL PLUS rating. The default is RETAIL rates.
