Offering Freight Shipping Options for Your Quick Shopping Cart Customers
Enable FreightCenter.com as a shipping method if you sell items that must ship via freight carrier or bulk items that ship via pallet. You must have a FreightCenter.com account, but if you don't already have one you can sign up for a free account directly from the setup page in Quick Shopping Cart®.
When you link your FreightCenter.com account to Quick Shopping Cart you can provide customers with real-time rates from the supported freight carriers you select. Weight determines rates and freight items must be marked as such in the product settings.
