When should I install the Canada Post Shipping Module?

[Laidlawgifts]

Hello,

I plan on putting the Canada Post Shipping Module into Zencart.
At this point I am just doing the basic Zencart install.

Is there any particular POINT in the setup that I have to put the shipping module in?
I dont want to do too much work and find out I have to reinstall zencart because I put the shipping module in too late.

Thanks for any heads up

In *most* cases it doesn't really matter when you install the shipping modules, HOWEVER, some of the shipping modules, eg, ozpost and Canada Post require additional data fields (for the product dimensions) to be added to the products data, and in these cases it is best to add the module before adding any products, otherwise you'll need to re-edit them to insert the new/missing data.

Under no circumstances will you ever need to "reinstall zencart because I put the <whatever> module in too late."

Zencart first. Modules second.
