Hi,
Along with regular Fedex shipping options (Overnight, ground and 2nd day),
I would like to allow customers to enter “target” shipping date in check out page.
Since there is no such field in ordershipments table is there some other field that I can use?
If I add “targetField” in the ordershipments table how can I manipulate it (save, edit, show it on the page etc…) ?
One more question. Is there, out of box, solution that if customer enters some perishable products (fish etc …) into the basket, that only “overnight” shipping option becomes available?

Thank you!

Make use of ac_CustomFields table. Have a look at this thread

In shipping methods add new shipping method let's say Overnight Shipping. Then create new warehouse. Mark overnight shipping method available to only newly created warehouse. Then edit product and set its warehouse to newly created warehouse. This will make overnight shipping method available for products that belong to newly created warehouse.

Thank you very much!
