It is possible to use presets whiles placing an order or calculating a price.

These preset remove the necessity to supply a shipping date or carrier. You add these presets on the deliveries level.

If you do not want that the order is shipped with PostNL, DHL, ONB, etc. you should not use these presets

  }
}

Combining Presets

It is possible to combine the presets for delivery and shipping.

  "deliveries": {
    "address": "...",

Besides the shipping presets, setting a preferred carrier for your shipment is possible. This is helpful when you only want PostNL for example for your deliveries. The option carrier_code only works together with presets.
