Using Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition Shipping Components

  • Article

If you want to use the Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition single-shipment shipping components, you will first need to remove the Splitter, ShippingMethodRouter, and ShippingDiscountAdjust components from the pipeline. Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition components do not support the multiple-shipment shipping architecture used in Commerce Server 2002. You must also revert to Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition tax components, because tax components typically use address and shipment information to configure the taxes. If you are using a site that has a Commerce Server 2002 Active Server Pages (ASP) code base, code changes will also be necessary.

The _cy_shipping_total name/value pair on the OrderForm object stores the total cost of shipping for an order.

The DefaultShipping component sets this name/value pair to zero (0). If you do not want to charge shipping on an order, you can make this the only component in the shipping stage.

In the Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition single-shipment shipping architecture, components are coordinated to compute the shipping_total. For more information, see Component Coordination.
