Standard Checkout
Standard Checkout is the standard ShipperHQ experience, where customized rates and options are displayed at checkout within the native BigCommerce user interface.
Calendar & Pickup
Calendar & Pickup gives merchants the ability to offer granular control for shoppers at checkout by implementing a calendar with date & time slot selectors for pickup and delivery, and offer in-store pickup options with map and store info.
