During the process, it is easy to specify how the orders should be transported. In some cases, orders may also be collected by the customer himself. That is why we speak of delivery methods. How is an order delivered?All delivery methods that can be used in the system can be created in this module. At a later stage, a standard delivery method can be saved for each customer so that the correct delivery method is always selected during the creation of an order. In the order process, another delivery method can always be selected manually if there is a temporary deviation.
