B. Associating Shipment Method to Product Store and Carrier
By associating each shipping method with the corresponding product store and carrier, HotWax gains precise information about which brands and carriers are related to specific shipping methods. For example, this linkage allows HotWax to recognize that "Standard Shipping" is associated with the "product store X" and "Carrier Y." Consequently, when an order with "Standard Shipping" is received for "product store X," HotWax knows to apply the appropriate shipping rules and rates specific to that brand and carrier combination. This level of detail ensures accurate shipping calculations and streamlined order processing tailored to each brand's requirements.
