Shipping providers

  • Updated

A shipping provider class interacts with a shipping service, such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx by retrieving shipping price information. A provider can present specific scenarios with one or more services, such as price by weight or ground shipping.

You can manage shipping providers from Administration > Shipping. See also Shipping Methods.

The shipping provider overview lists existing providers and their types.
