Installed Modules
If you have enabled real-time shipping, you will need to install a shipping module. The "Installed Modules" tab will show any modules you have already installed.

Changing Module Settings: Click on the wrench icon on the line of the module you wish to edit.
Note: Status should read "On" when shipping module is enabled.
