Package Content Text - Set a text that is displayed on the label. Usually a general description of the goods of your company/brand name.
Gordon Parcels - Decide how parcels are generated. This is also reflected in the number of labels you'll retrieve. If you want one label for the entire order, choose 'One parcel for entire order'.
Add customer note to Gordon Shipment - Checking this box will add a customer note (from the checkout) to the order created in Gordon.
