Overview


Your Own Freight Carrier allows a customer to use their own freight account with their own carrier when placing orders. Along with freight options offered by your store during checkout, the buyer can select 'own carrier' and enter their freight account details. NOTE - This feature out of the box will allow all users to select their own courier and enter details when enabled. This information is not validated. To customise this option, contact Commerce Vision. 

Want to edit the 'Own Carrier' prompt?

The prompt 'Select from your own list of own carriers'  can be edited in the Freight Options Widget.
