Creating a default shipping mode
In order to set a default shipping mode for the store, you must add information to the STOREDEF table. A default shipping mode is the combination of the shipping carrier, (the company that provides shipping services from a fulfillment center to a customer) and the shipping service offered by that carrier (XYZ Courier, Overnight service is a shipping mode) that will be pre-selected on the store's Checkout pages. You can set the default shipping mode by using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, or by loading information to the STOREDEF table.
