Sample Shipping Method: ShipEx Customer Account

When setting up shipping methods, you can also choose to let customers charge shipping to their own courier account. Customers provide their courier account numbers during the checkout process. You notify the shipping company when the order is ready for pick-up, and the order is charged to the customer.

Here is an example of how to create a shipping method for "ShipEx Customer Account" (see example):

  1. From the Delivery Methods section of the Shopping Cart service menu, choose Shipping.
  2. Click Add Shipping Method.
  3. In the Method Name, enter "ShipEx Customer Account".
  4. For Delivery Time, enter "Next day (when in stock)".
  5. Choose the Currency for this delivery method. The Shipping Method will only be displayed to customers purchasing in this currency.
  6. Choose the Language for this delivery method. The Shipping Method will only be displayed to customers purchasing in this language.
