WordPress Shopping Cart plugin: Dawn Wing

Requirements

The Dawn Wing extension plugin has the following requirements:

Dawn Wing Measurements

Please note that the Dawn Wing API works with KG (kilogram) for weight measurement and CM (centimeter) for length/dimension measurement. The API doesn’t take a measurement value so it assumes all values are passed in these measurements.

Ensure that your weight measurement in the WordPress Shopping Cart is set to KG (kilogram) and that your products are set to CM (centimeter) for their length, width and height.

Using other measurements will generate incorrect shipping quotes with Dawn Wing.

Installation

1. Make sure that you have the WordPress Shopping Cart plugin installed and that you have purchased the Dawn Wing Extension Plugin.

2. Download the Dawn Wing Extension Plugin from the downloads management section in a ZIP archive (you may need to login to your Tribulant Software account in order to access your download).

3. Extract the ZIP archive named checkout-dawnwing.zip in order to be presented with a single folder named checkout-dawnwing.
