Select Carrier Control
Control to pre-select carrier and shipping method on the ShipSummary page, significantly improving the checkout process. Requires ASP.NET 1.1 on the server.

Posted Monday, July 26, 2004

The Select Carrier Control is a custom server control that you add to the ShipSummary.aspx page to shorten the checkout process. It does two things: First, It pre-selects a carrier and shipping method and calculates the total shipping before the Ship Summary page is displayed. If you only use one carrier and shipping method, this one will be pre-selected. This significantly streamlines the shipping step of the checkout process by eliminating 2 round-trips to the server for each shipping address.

Second, the control allows you (the merchant) to pick a default carrier and shipping method. If you support multiple carriers and shipping methods, but you have one that you prefer, you can pre-select your preference.

For a more complete shipping solution that allows customers to calculate shipping costs while they shop, see the Shipping Cost Estimator.
