Configuration
Prerequisites
To effectively configure Shipping Options in SCAYLE, it's important to understand how Carrier function within the platform. These should be set up before configuring your Collection Points.
- At least one Carrier has been configured
Configure
While each shop operates at a country level, a new Shipping Policy Key must first created globally to ensure the Shipping Options are recognized across the platform.
The Shipping Policy Key can then be used on a shop level to customize Shipping Options and define Shipping Fees. The Shipping Option customized defines then how Shipping Options are visualized based on carrierGroupKey within the Checkout Webcomponent.
Step 1: Create a new Shipping Policy Key
Start by defining Shipping Options globally. By doing so, a distinctive Shipping Policy Key is created.
This can be done in the SCAYLE Panel under Settings > General > Configuration > Shipping Options.
The Shipping Policy Key must be written in snake_case. For example, use "express_delivery"

The two parameters below can be thereby used to enable date scheduling or time scheduling
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Requires date scheduling | Shows the user a date picker in the checkout to select shipment date |
| Requires time scheduling | Shows the user a time picker in the checkout to select shipment date |
Step 2: Add a Shipping Option to a Shop Country
To add a Shipping Option for a shop country, use the dropdown to assign a carrierGroupKey defined by its Carrier Type, a Shipping Policy Key created in the previous chapter, and define thebaseShippingServiceCost and additionalExpressShippingServiceCost that will be charged using the selected Shipping Option.
This can be done in the SCAYLE Panel under Storefront > Checkout Settings > Shipping Options.
