4. Additional Configuration

Extended Warranty

With TNT you can opt-in for an extended warranty. For more information on Extended Warranty and classes, refer to this guide from TNT.
To insure an order you can:

  • On an order-by-order basis:
    1. Open the order you would like to insure.
    2. Tick the Cover/Warranty Required tickbox.
    3. Enter a cover value on an order.
    4. Click Print.
  • Create a rule to automatically apply cover:
    1. Go to Settings > Rules > Create a new Rule.
    2. Select the condition (s) that apply.
    3. Set the action to Set Insurance Required value to True.
Residential Addresses

Starshipit allows you to specify both sender and receiver addresses as residential.

Sender Address

  • Go to Settings > Couriers > TNT > Advanced and enable the option Sender Address is Residential.
  • When generating rates, Starshipit will inform TNT that the sender address is residential.

Receiver Address
To specify a receiver address as residential, use the DestinationIsResidentialAddress tag:

  • Apply the tag DestinationIsResidentialAddress to your order, then refresh the rate or print the order. This will notify the system that the receiver address is residential.

For frequently used addresses, we recommend automating this with a rule:

  • Example: If Destination Street Address contains "X", then apply the tag DestinationIsResidentialAddress.

This helps streamline the process and ensures consistency.
