External Courier Names
Overview
When exporting or providing tracking info to another system they might require specific courier service names or codes for it to map up correctly on their end.
External Courier Services Names can be used for this to provide a translation between the Courier Service Name in Mintsoft and what the other channel knows it as for example in Mintsoft a Courier Service could be DPD - Next Day Parcel but when it gets notified to another system they just know it as DPD So you'd set up an External Courier Service Name to do that translation.
