Apply your learning

Use your understanding of Shipping Methods in Composable Commerce to help Electronics Company deliver a new Product Type.

  • After completing this page, you should be able to:

    • Use predicates to define a Shipping Method for a specific Product Type.

    • Promotional campaign

    Electronics Company would like to run a temporary promotion with Silvio's scents, where they bundle perfumes in Carts of a certain value. Due to strict shipping regulations which classify perfumes as dangerous goods, these items must be shipped by road for the entire journey. Currently, the couriers that Electronics Company uses, ship by air for at least part of the journey.

    To solve this problem, you may need to first review the information contained in our Product Types page.

    Your options

    Here are three possible approaches to solve this problem. Only one of them is correct. Use the quiz below to select the option you think would be the best solution and check whether you are right.

    • Option 1
      1. Create a Product Attribute to flag if an item is safe for air shipping. The Attribute type can be Boolean, List (enum), or Text.
      2. Create a Cart Predicate that checks if any items are perfume. If there is a match, the predicate should evaluate to False. This predicate will be saved against Shipping Methods that can use air transport.
    • Option 2
      1. Create a Product Attribute to flag if an item is safe for air shipping. The Attribute type can be Boolean or List (enum).
      2. Create a Cart Predicate that checks if any items are perfume. If there is a match, the predicate should evaluate to False. This predicate will be saved against Shipping Methods that can use air transport.
    • Option 3
      1. Create a Product Attribute to flag if an item is safe for air shipping. The Attribute type can be Boolean or List (enum).
      2. Create a Cart Predicate that checks if any items are perfume. If there is a match, the predicate should evaluate to True. This predicate will be saved against Shipping Methods that can use air transport.
