Shipping in E-commerce is something that merchants usually don’t pay enough attention to but is critical for customers’ experience. The admin’s task is not over when the order is placed and payment is received but optimizing the shipping methods is also required.
Hence, the default Magento 2 supports these shipping carriers:
- DHL
- Federal Express
- United Parcel Service
- United States Postal Service
However, these carrier options may not be enough for modern business requirements.
That’s why, when you want to integrate with 3rd party logistics, you need to create a new shipping carrier.
In order to create a new shipping carrier or add custom shipping method under shipment tracking dropdown in Magento 2, you first need to create a custom shipping method in Magento 2. You can also add tracking number to current order shipment which will help customers to track their orders.
