The Ecommerce Default Delivery Method asset allows you to configure a delivery method available for site users to select when completing an e-commerce transaction. Form questions, email options and payment gateways can all be configured with this asset.

Once you have added an Ecommerce Default Delivery Method, you can configure its settings on its associated asset screens.

In this chapter, we will describe the Details screen, which is different for an Ecommerce Default Delivery Method.
