Updates to setting up shipping options
Setting up shipping options, previously called rates, is now simpler and gives you more control and flexibility. Each option can now include a separate transit time and description. This allows you to give customers more details at checkout. You can now also offer free shipping by setting a minimum order value on a shipping option.
This update lets you:
* Set weight or price range conditions in a single shipping option
* Add a custom description for each shipping option to display at checkout
* Offer free shipping automatically when an order reaches a specified threshold
