How to Migrate Shipping Confirmation Settings from Oberlo
How does DSers migrate Shipping confirmation settings from Oberlo?
DSers will migrate the “Notify customers about shipped order” feature from Oberlo to the “Shipping confirmation” feature on DSers. The two features are largely identical but with minor differences. DSers migrate each information based on the below logic:

DSers will set up the feature based on if you activate the feature on Oberlo.
Tracking URL
On Oberlo you need to manually fill in a tracking URL in the field while on DSers we provide a list with often used tracking URLs as well as a user-defined field for you to fill in. Hence, DSers will check if what you set up on Oberlo matches any option with the DSers list. If yes, the option will be automatically selected on DSers, if not, DSers will fill in your Oberlo tracking URL in the user-defined field on DSers.
Shipping carrier
Oberlo does not have this feature on the user interface while DSers has the feature. However, as you may know, the shipping confirmation email triggered by Oberlo shows the shipping carrier as “Other”. So once you migrated to DSers, you will find Shipping carrier is set to “Other” as default.
