XPS Shipping

Carrier Shipping Rates allow live shipping rates to be calculated during customer checkout based on your XPS account. If you would like more specific information about a given topic, please reach out to the Ecommerce Training Staff at ecommerce@cyrious.com.

Shipping will be calculated using the weight of shipping boxes and the shipping address. To ensure that shipping will be calculated correctly, carrier rules must be set under Shipping Methods, shipping boxes must be created, and individual products must be enabled to use carrier rates.
