  2. Action Type when Shipping Option is Unavailable. There are 2 action types available:

  2. Use Tax Inclusive Price and Subtotal for Calculations (shipping costs and rules). If there is a Shipping Rule for this shipping option that has conditions based on "Price" or "Subtotal" attributes this setting defines whether it should use prices with tax or without tax.
  3. Sort Order. Shipping Option sort order on the checkout (from min to max value). Empty field means it will be sorted by rate value (from min to max rate). This setting affects Magneto checkout only and doesn't affect Shipping Calculator.
