6. Click "Save."

Step 5: Choose Shipping Provider

1. Choose the provider for your shipping labels:
   Here you can choose from various carriers, for which you need to have your own login credentials. These can be connected to Afosto to retrieve the shipping labels. If you prefer to create your shipping labels manually, you can choose the Afosto label provider. This way, you can manually set orders as shipped and add your own track and trace code.
2. Sort Your Shipping Methods from the Connected Provider:
   After connecting a provider, we will retrieve all available methods. You can sort them by dragging them into the desired order, with the most frequently used methods at the top. This order will also appear when shipping an order.
3. Click "Save."

Step 6: Create Shipping Methods

In this step, we will create the shipping methods. Here, you can create methods per shipping provider (e.g., PostNL or DHL) and link them to your shipping zones (e.g., Netherlands). You can also set the shipping costs per method.

1. Select Your Carrier
2. Select the Shipping Zone
3. Select Whether the Shipping Method is On or Off by Default
   Optionally, add exceptions to this default setting:
   (With exceptions, you can, for example, activate or deactivate a shipping method for a specific customer, country, product category, or other specifications.)
4. Set the Visible Name and Description of the Shipping Method
   The name and description are shown to your customers in our headless checkout.
5. Optionally, Add Translations for the Name and Description
6. Set the Costs of the Shipping Method with Possible Exceptions
7. Select the Correct Options for This Shipping Method
   By selecting the options, you filter out certain methods from the shipping provider. This ensures that the list of available methods is smaller when sending the order.
8. Click "Add."
   Now the shipping method is added, and you can start processing your WooCommerce orders in Afosto.

Done!

Congratulations! The orders from your WooCommerce store are now synchronized with Afosto's OMS, and you can use our extensive WMS and Fulfillment capabilities for your connected WooCommerce environment.
