The Custom Carriers Addon is an extension developed to improve shipping in the CS Cart eCommerce platform. The addon enables administrators to create custom shipping carriers specifically suited to particular business needs. It helps merchants provide more flexible shipping options while also streamlining the order fulfillment process by including non-standard carriers or private delivery solutions.

This addon is helpful for enterprises that are operational with regional courier services, third-party logistics firms, or conduct in-house deliveries. This Addon can integrate into CS Cart-based websites without hassles, both admins and customers could have an error-free, comfortable experience.
