You can set-up multiple carriers for your Prestashop store. This might include setting up carriers for next day or three day delivery for example, so your customers can choose a 3 day delivery and lower cost shipping charge for example.

If you offer customer collection, you can also create a carrier for in-store pickup

When you select carriers from the menu, the following screen will be dispalyed, with your stores carriers that are already set-up listed.

Also note that the "Carrier Options" allows you to specify which carrier should be used as the default option. This means, when you customer checksout, if they accept default shipping, it will be your default carrier that is used.

Tip: Be aware that the Tracking input field will only show up in your customer orders AFTER you set the order as “Shipped” status. (See orders), if you need to get around this until it is addressed ina  future version of Prestshop (current version 1.1) do the following;

Goto tabs/adminorders.php
Arround 405 find:
if ($carrier->url AND $currentState->id == _PS_OS_SHIPPING_)
Change to:
if ($carrier->url AND ($currentState->id == _PS_OS_PREPARATION_ || $currentState->id == _PS_OS_SHIPPING_))

Now you can enter the Trackingnumber when the order is set to status "Preparation" and you can still edit the tracking numberbefore shipping and after shipping.

When the order is changed to status "Shipped" the trackingnumber gets will be send in the email to your customer.
