Shipping Methods

A full guide to understanding and setting up Shipping Methods for your Pakk business and sites

Shipping method configuration can look intimidating at first glance - there are almost limitless combinations of configuration options. For Pakk, we chose to make our shipping methods super powerful which meant sacrificing a certain amount of 'simplicity'. But don't worry, in this guide we'll outline all the possibilities and how they fit together.

The basic details

• Give your new Shipping Method a sensible name and description which will be visible to your customers on your websites - so make them meaningful.

• Setting a priority will determine how high up this method shows in a list of available methods.

• Set an estimated days transit to help the system display useful messages to your customers regarding when they can expect to receive their order.

• Set a preferred carrier to choose the default carrier which will be chosen for this shipping method when dispatching an order.
