Set up live shipping methods

One of the great features of DecoNetwork is the ability to link up with shipping carriers so that they can provide live shipping rate estimates at the time of checkout or at the time that you are creating an order in Business Hub.

DecoNetwork also supports integration with Shipstation to facilitate a more streamlined shipping management process. ShipStation is a dedicated multi-carrier shipping platform that has powerful automation tools that make the management of your shipping workflow quicker and easier. See the ShipStation Connection article for more information.
