Delivery methods¶
When activated in Odoo, the Delivery Methods setting adds the option of calculating the cost of shipping on sales orders and e-commerce shopping carts.
When integrated with a third-party carrier, shipping prices are calculated based on the carrier’s pricing information.

Add shipping¶
Shipping methods can be added to sales orders in the form of delivery products, which appear as individual line items. First, navigate to the desired sales order by going to .
On the sales order, click the Add shipping button, which opens the Add a shipping method pop-up window. Then, choose a Shipping Method from the list.
The Total Order Weight is pre-filled based on product weights (that are defined in the Inventory tab for each product form). Edit the field to specify the exact weight, and then click Add to add the shipping method.
Note
The amount defined in Total Order Weight overwrites the total product weights defined on the product form.
The shipping cost is added to the sales order line as the Delivery Product detailed on the shipping method form.

Delivery order¶
The shipping method added to the sales order is linked to the shipping carrier details on the delivery order. To add or change the delivery method on the delivery itself, go to the Additional Info tab and modify the Carrier field.
