Why should I use an import file to delete shipping rules?
Using an import file to delete shipping rules offers several advantages:
- Bulk Deletes Across Multiple Zones:
With an import file, you can perform bulk deletions from multiple zones at once, saving you time and effort compared to deleting rules individually.
- Better Control Over the Deletion Process:
By viewing all your rates in one file, you gain better control over the deletion process. This overview allows you to manage and confirm the rules you’re deleting more effectively.
- Backup Recommendation:
It’s recommended to save the original file as a backup before making any changes. This ensures that you have a copy of your initial settings, which you can restore if needed.
- Increased Reliability: The import file method is more reliable than deleting rules one by one. This approach reduces the risk of errors and ensures that all intended deletions are completed accurately.
