Shipping Types
Shipping types are general options for shipping that you can customize. They group your products by how they are shipped. You can find your shipping types under "Basic data > Shipping > Shipping types". The settings are the basis for shipping cost calculations at the channel.
The icon in front of the designation shows the usage:
active
inactive but assigned to active articles
inactive and not assigned to active articles.
In the list of shipping types, you can use the "Usage" checkbox (see Figure 1) to hide all unused shipping types. The filter enables you to limit the list to shipping types used at or assigned to a specific channel.
