Shipping

A shipping region is a geographical entity, such as a country, state or province. A shipping service level determines what shipping services are available to shoppers at each store.

Elastic Path has a default shipping calculation plug-in that calculates the shipping cost based on the shipping region and shipping service level information available in the database. Customer service representatives can access and configure this plug-in in Elastic Path Commerce Manager. The Shipping Calculation SPI (Service Provider Interface) enables the integration of third-party shipping provider APIs, such as FedEx or UPS (United Parcel Service), with Elastic Path Commerce. With this integration, customers can view the available shipping options and cost associated with each shipping option during the checkout flow.
