What Are Shipping Methods

Shipping Methods are the different ways an order can be shipped. Shipping Methods require a Shipping Profile to be associated to control the price when selected on an order.

When a shipping method is selected during order entry, the order will not go through the preauthorization process if the offers are set for this. The price from the associated Shipping Charge Profile will assign to the first line item during order creation.

Making The Connection

Where Will I See This Within OLX?

The Shipping method can be seen during order entry and on the order receipt and can be seen via the job log found in Process History (you may have to download the file if not immediately available). Once the order is created and will display as either REG or RSH on the packing slip, depending how you setup the shipping method.
