Quotation Testing and Front-End Adjustments on VTEX

After configuring the integration with ShipSmart and creating the shipping policies, it’s essential to perform shipping quotation tests and adjust the checkout interface to ensure a seamless shopping experience for your customers.

Performing Quotation Tests

After completing the setup, it's important to check that the shipping quotes appear correctly at checkout. Follow these steps to verify:

1. Ensure that all products are registered with the correct NCM.
2. In your store’s checkout, simulate an international order to verify the shipping options.
3. Review the available shipping options:
   • Free Shipping (zero value): The default setting of the VTEX zeroed table.
   • Carrier (DHL, FedEx, etc.): The actual shipping cost calculated through the integration with ShipSmart.
4. If shipping values do not appear as expected, review the settings and ensure that the products' NCMs and integrations are correct.

Front-End Adjustments in the Checkout

To avoid confusion from displaying "Free Shipping" as an option at checkout, you need to adjust the store's front-end code to hide this information and ensure that only the correct shipping options are shown.

1. Make visual customizations in the store’s checkout.
2. Adjust the code to remove or hide the "Free Shipping" message, highlighting only the actual shipping rates calculated by ShipSmart.
3. Test the checkout process again to ensure that all information is displayed correctly to the customer.
