Activate and/or Block Shipping Options
You can control which shipping option is active in your dispensary by clicking on the “Blocked/Markup Shipping” Tab in your dispensary.
You may not want to offer all the different shipping options from each carrier. Here you can turn specific shipping options on or off.
Mark up Shipping Prices
If you want to charge the customer a higher shipping amount than what is generated from from the shipping carrier, you can increase the price by a fixed amount or by a percentage. The customer will only see the final price and not the price before the markup.
