Overview
ShipperHQ provides a number of places to add explanatory text to shipping rates on the cart and/or checkout. It is important to note that all options except for option #5, are NOT available with our integration through BigCommerce.
You must install ShipperHQ’s “module-option” module in order to see tool-tips on Magento 2. Please use the instructions outlined within the Installing Magento 2 ShipperHQ Modules document for how to install this module.
