Shipping Method

Shipping Method Overview

In the XPOR Ecommerce system, you'll want to ship your products out to the customers that buy them - the Shipping Method object is where you detail this process. There are many different methods you can have - you might send the product in the post, have it collected, or send it electronically for electronic items. As such, Shipping Method objects are created under Order Type objects, because you will have different methods of shipping your different products.
