Manage Shipping Option Types

In this guide, you’ll learn what shipping option types are and how to manage them.

What is a Shipping Option Type?

A shipping option type is a classification that groups shipping options with similar characteristics.
For example, you can have a type for Standard Shipping and another for Express Shipping.

Shipping option types help you organize and manage your available shipping options.
They also allow you to apply promotions to specific groups of shipping options.

By default, two common types are available: Standard and Express, but you can create more to fit your business needs.
