How Did Shop Local SA find the solution With Webkul?

Mr. Peter Freeman Solutions Architect, E-Commerce Platform wants to permit its merchants to offer accurate rates if they prefer to mark up the shipping price to cover their costs.

Webkul CS-Cart Sendle Shipping Method Allows retailers to deliver items to customers’ addresses via the Sendle shipping service.

Sendle shipping for CS-Cart connects CS-Cart to Sendle APIs for quotation, order submission, and receipt of shipment tracking information.
