# Settings

> How to configure your pharmacy account, shipping, and notification preferences

# Settings

The Settings section of the Pharmacy Portal lets you configure your pharmacy profile, shipping options, and notification preferences. This page covers the key settings you can manage.

## Account Settings

Your account settings include your pharmacy's basic information:

* **Pharmacy name** -- The name displayed in the system.
* **Contact information** -- Email address and phone number for your pharmacy.
* **Address** -- Your pharmacy's physical address.

Keep this information up to date so that patients and the RxScale team can reach you when needed.

## Shipping Configuration

Shipping settings control how you create and manage shipping labels. Here you can:

* **Configure your shipping carrier** -- Add or update your carrier account details.
* **Set default shipping options** -- Choose your preferred shipping method and packaging settings.
* **Manage return label settings** -- Configure how return labels are generated for your pharmacy.

For detailed instructions on setting up shipping, see the [Shipping](/for-pharmacists/shipping) guide.

## Notification Preferences

Control what notifications you receive and how you receive them:

* **New order notifications** -- Get alerted when a new order is assigned to your pharmacy.
* **Low stock alerts** -- Receive a notification when a product's stock level falls below your configured threshold.
* **Order update notifications** -- Stay informed about changes to orders, such as cancellations.

Configuring your notifications helps you stay on top of your workflow without having to check the portal constantly.

## Linking Pharmacies to Shops

If your pharmacy serves multiple shops (online stores), you can manage these connections in the Settings section. Linking a pharmacy to a shop means that orders from that shop can be routed to your pharmacy for fulfillment.

* **View linked shops** -- See which shops are currently connected to your pharmacy.
* **Manage links** -- Your organisation administrator or RxScale account manager can add or remove shop links based on your needs.

<Info>
  Shop linking is typically managed by your organisation administrator. If you need to add or remove a shop connection, contact your administrator or account manager.

## Tips

* **Review your settings periodically.** Make sure your contact information, shipping configuration, and notification preferences are current.
* **Set up notifications early.** Configuring notifications when you first start using the portal ensures you never miss an important order or stock alert.
* **Keep shipping details accurate.** Incorrect carrier information can cause delays in label creation and shipping.
