# Provide additional online shipping method

Online shipping methods not developed by Ecwid team work through applications. 

When the app is properly set up, it becomes available as a **shipping method** to the store owner in Ecwid admin, and its **shipping options** become available to customers at the checkout.

### Application setup

Make sure that your app has:

* Required access scopes: `add_shipping_method`, `read_store_profile`, `read_orders`, and `update_orders` 
* Self-hosted `shippingUrl` endpoint running on your server.\
  [Request application update](https://app.gitbook.com/s/uOzT5egoVTAjMJwRuMQT/contact-ecwid-api-support-team)

To ensure everything is in place, check your **app settings** from the [app dashboard](https://my.ecwid.com/#develop-apps) page:

And **access scopes** of your app on the [My apps](https://my.ecwid.com/#my_apps) page:

### New shipping method in Ecwid admin

With both requirements satisfied, a new shipping method will appear on the [Shipping & Pickup](https://my.ecwid.com/#shippings) page immediately after installing the app:

Your new shipping method added by the app should also be enabled by default.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want your shipping method to be **disabled** by default after installing the app, [contact API Support team](https://app.gitbook.com/s/uOzT5egoVTAjMJwRuMQT/contact-ecwid-api-support-team). They'll update the app for you.
{% endhint %}

Enabled shipping methods are available to customers at the checkout, so you can test your new shipping method right away.
