Rate Shop (Shipping Rates)

Overview

The Rate Shop (Shipping Rates) form is opened when the user asks the program to obtain shipping rates for the internally-configured shipping carriers, such as UPS, USPS, or FedEx, from various locations within the program. For more information see Using the RateShopping System.

Click the Show link next to "In This Topic" at the top of this page to see a series of links in outline form, which can be used to quickly jump to that section of the topic.

In addition, major topics may provide a brief synopsis of a field's purpose or direct the reader to the appropriate section of the topic by scrolling over the image. To return to the previous location within the same page, right-click the mouse and select [Back].

If clicking a field directs the reader to a different Knowledge Base topic, it will open in a new tab or window, leaving the currently viewed topic open. The browser's settings determine whether a new tab or window is opened.
