Advanced Options
Debug Mode

The additional tech information, incl. the data sent to Australia Post API, all the requests, responses and the error messages coming back from the Australia Post API will be displayed in the cart and on the checkout page:
All the notices and data coming from enabled Debug Mode will be visible only for the Site Administrators and Shop Managers. Your customers, no matter if they are guests or logged in, won’t see any unnecessary info on the shop’s front.
