Shipping Carriers

Overview

Shipping carrier integrations allow buyers to receive real-time shipping quotes at checkout. Administrators configure available carriers from Admin Control Panel → Tools → Shipping Carriers Management.

PHP Pro Bid admin — Shipping Carriers Management page showing USPS, FedEx, and Australia Post configuration with server requirement badges
