# Shipping Method

A dropdown for selecting the shipping method on an order. Filters automatically by order type (so Pickup orders don't see Delivery shipping methods). Optionally lets a user override the shipping or handling cost.

## Available in

* Order Form modules **only**

## When to use

* Order Form pages where physical goods ship (delivery, drop-ship, special-order).
* Anywhere the user needs to pick how the order will be fulfilled.

For pickup-only or in-store transactions where shipping doesn't apply, configure the block's order-type filter to hide it.

## Settings

| Setting       | Description                                                                                           |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Configure** | Opens the configuration modal — title, allowed shipping items, order-type visibility, cost overrides. |

The configuration modal supports:

* **Title** — heading text. Default: *Shipping Method*.
* **Allowed Shipping Items** — restrict the dropdown to specific NetSuite shipping items. Empty = show all.
* **Visible Order Types** — only show the block when the order type matches one of the listed types. Empty = always show.
* **Override Shipping Cost** — let the user override the calculated shipping cost.
* **Shipping Cost Override** — the override value when enabled.
* **Override Handling Cost** — let the user override handling cost.
* **Handling Cost Override** — the override value when enabled.

## How it works

1. Loads available shipping items from the ShippingService at mount.
2. Filters the dropdown by **Allowed Shipping Items** if configured.
3. Checks the current order type against **Visible Order Types** — hides the block if no match.
4. User picks a shipping method; the cost is calculated and added to the order total.
5. If override is enabled, the user can manually adjust shipping or handling cost.
6. Cost flows into Summary.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use **Visible Order Types** to keep Shipping Method out of pickup or in-store flows. Pair with the Address block's order-type filter for a coherent configurable form.
{% endhint %}

## Examples

**Standard delivery flow.** Shipping Method with Visible Order Types = `[Delivery, Drop Ship]`. Hides for Pickup, Cash & Carry, and Quote.

**Drop-ship with cost override.** Shipping Method with Override Shipping Cost = Yes. Sales rep can adjust the cost when negotiating with the customer.

**Restricted shipping items.** Allowed Shipping Items = `[FedEx Ground, FedEx Express]` only. Locks the workflow to specific carriers.
