The third page of the Shipping section of the Store Setup Wizard is where the user indicates which shipping methods, or specific delivery services, will be used.

The fourth and final page of the Shipping section of the Store Setup Wizard is used to set other miscellaneous parameters that affect the way in which the program handles shipping charges for Manual Orders and Point of Sale orders (Plus and Enterprise Edition only).
