Update any of the details as needed:
Name
Description
Cost
Tax Rate
Disabled (checkbox)
Click Save to apply the changes.
➕ Creating a New Shipping Method
On the left-hand menu, click New Shipping Method.
Fill in the following fields:
Name: A clear identifier for the shipping method.
Description: Optional additional information about the method.
Cost: The charge for using this shipping method.
Tax Rate: Enter the tax percentage (e.g. 0% or 20%).
