Shipping Providers
The "Shipping Provider Maintenance" grid allows you to maintain your shipping providers and the information about them. Be sure to license a valid shipping provider before you create and set up this provider within CyberStore.

The Maintenance grid offers the following functions:
After you select the Add or Edit button on the grid, the grid's maintenance pop-up appears. Then you can add or edit specific information. After you select the Delete button, the Console asks you to confirm the deletion, and once confirmed permanently deletes the row.
A right-click Context Menu provides functions available for indivdual rows, one at a time.
Simply right-click on a row, then pick from the list of available options for the grid, and the selected action will be performed just on that row.
