The Pricing page is your central hub for managing and viewing all your shipping and fulfillment pricing configurations within Borderless360.
Overview of the Pricing Page
The Pricing page is divided into two main sections:
- Outbound Pricing: Lists all the pricing options for shipping orders from fulfillment centers to customers.
- Inbound Pricing: Displays pricing options for inbound shipments, such as returns or ASNs (Advanced Shipping Notices).
