How to Enable or Disable a Shipping Method

You may want to keep a shipping method in your system without deleting the method, but you may not want that shipping method to be available for use. You can enable the shipping method (make it active) or disable the shipping method (make it inactive) in your system. After you enable or disable a shipping method, you must refresh the site cache before Commerce Server 2009 can update the status of the shipping method.

    The status of the shipping method as enabled or disabled appears in the Preview Details pane.
