Kibo uses shipping method codes and shipping method names to identify the shipment options for each carrier. Shipping method codes generally include a prefix that indicates the carrier followed by the service type. The shippingMethodCode and shippingMethodName fields in the Order Management APIs are not applicable to pickup orders, only orders being shipped. The methods that can be passed in shippingMethodCode depend on which carriers and shipping types have been enabled. These values may be provided by the carrier and/or configured as custom rates if the implementation includes the Kibo front-end. If a customer was not allowed to choose a specific carrier or a shipping method, or if the proper codes are unknown by the user, a generic Kibo code can be sent instead. In that case, the system will map the generic value to the appropriate code. All carrier-specific and generic shipping codes are listed below.
