Setting up Shipping subcategories

For your online shipping payments to link to SAM via the API, you need to set up a Shipping subcategory. 
 

New feature... The SAM web plugin by Desart has been updated so it now automatically detects your sub-category if you set this up and name it 'Shipping'. 

If you are using the SAM web plugin by Desart, this category must be named 'shipping' so that it is automatically detected. Note: When you setting up your API connection, be sure to setup this category in both your SAM Sandbox (UAT) and your LIVE SAM (Prod) for your web developer.

1. Click your Art Centre name in the top left to open your SAM set up
    
2. Click SAM set up
    
3. Click SAM setup again
    
4. Next, click Categories from the SAM setup sidebar
    
5. Click into the search bar and search for 'Freight'
    
6. Click Freight/Packing to open the Category
    
7. Scroll down to the Sub-categories under Freight/Packing
    
8. Click '+ Add sub-categories'
    
9. Name the subcategory 'Shipping'.
    
10. Commission and purchase rates do not apply to OTHER categories, as they are used to handle fees and are retained as part of the Art Centre's revenue. For peace of mind, set them to DEFAULT. 
     
11. Click Save
