It sets up shipping modes automatically without explicit permission

    Installed it on a live webshop (I know, test env, but I have no high traffic yet and was a little bit sloppy) to have bulk label printing options. The plugin immadietly created every possible GLS shipping methods on the checkout screen however I realy don’t want to support them all.

    The worst thing was that the shipping prices were zero by default. I immadietly uninstalled it, so I don’t know if the bulk printing operation works or not, but a plugin should not do this automatically (and silently).

    (Also I had a GLS option already, it simply became duplicated, one for a fair price, the other one for free.)

    I really want to integrate bulk printing to my product page, but this is not a good practice for an e-commerce plugin.

    Hi, we do appreciate your honest review, thanks! Can we interest you in reading the documentation which is an integral part of the plugin? It shows you how you can disable the plugin, how you can set it up by delivery method and set prices for each delivery method…. We are sorry that the plugin “does too much” but it needs to do all the things in order to accommodate various use cases. Also, yes… a test env would be the smart play for sure 😉

    Hy,

    Thank you for your reply.

    By doing too much, I meant that it should not setup every transporting modes without any questions or explicit permission. (Especially because the plugin can’t know my pricing policy, so the admin still has to setup the prices.)

    Checked the readme.md on the SVN, but it doesn’t mention that the plugin will add new shipping methods after activation. Is this intentional at all? I will install the plugin today on my test system, maybe I am the one who did something wrong. Or some incompatibility with one of my other plugins.

    (modified the points as this issue is not as huge as I felt originally, sorry for that.)
