Using Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition Shipping Components

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 the ShippingDiscountAdjust components from the pipeline. Site Server 3.0 components do not support the multiple-shipment shipping architecture used in Commerce Server 2000. You must also revert to Site Server 3.0 tax components, because tax components typically look at address and shipment information. And if you are using a site that has a Commerce Server 2000 an Active Server Pages (ASP) code base, code changes will also be necessary.

The _cy_shipping_totoal 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 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.
