This allows shoppers to check shipping rates even before proceeding to check out. Then the shipping rate would be displayed if they went to checkout and supplied a zip/postal code.

Is there a way to have at least the default shipping always appear unless a customer changes it? This is very irritating. Thanks...

Glad you figured it out. Merchants--If you are receiving errors about non-secure items when going to your checkout pages, make sure any images (or other files) used in your checkout pages, call files from a secure directory. For example, if you are using the same custom header from your site in your checkout pages, you will need to upload the same images from the header to a secure directory in your Web Hosting account. For legacy store merchants, ensure the path to files uses "https" in the url so your files will be secure. Paul Looks great Dee. Glad you figured it out.

In earlier versions customizing the cart page may have been very easy in the Store Editor, but customizing the look of subsequent pages in checkout was not possible.

I mean, can you list the benefits of new Checkout Manager. Thanks, -Milind Can you explain why a merchant should move over to Checkout Manager if he is already using the Order form?

Switch that to either "Calculate in real-time, error if no match" or "Calculate in real-time, ok if no match" and publish your order settings. That should resolve this issue. Paul Hi Adam,
