Answer

 

If you save a shipping method as a Template, it will be saved in this directory: (NOTE: it's 1 shipping method per xml file)

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\ShopFactory V11\ShopFactory\Shared Templates\ShipMethods

To use that shipping method template in another shop, here are the steps that you need to do:

 

Creating shipping template from 1st shop:

- Open shop in ShopFactory

- Click Properties > select Shipping charges

- Select shipping method <for example: Economy>

- Select Regions on where the charges will apply

 

- Click OK

- Click NEXT

- Setup your ranges for shipping charges <for example: Calculate charges by PRICE>

 

- Click Finish

- Go back to shipping setup window via Properties -> shipping charges

- Then, select Economy to save it as NEW Template

- Click Save button

- Enter template name for new shipping method

 

- Click OK

- Click Next

- Click Finish

To use that shipping method template in another shop, here are the steps that you need to do:

-Open the 2nd shop in SF

-Central dropdown -> Shipping charges -> enter my own shipping charges

-Click the + (Add) button

-Important: Tick “Import from a template” checkbox

-Click Browse... button

-By default, you should be taken into this directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ShopFactory V11\ShopFactory\Shared Templates\ShipMethods
 
-And you will see all your shipping method templates

-Select the ones you want to add in this shop

-And then click OPEN
