We have a requirement to display additional information such as estimated lead time etc below a shipping method, but there is currently no property for this on the shipping method. The idea I currently have in my head is being able to add something like the following to allow custom data fields to be added:
Whilst I've found the areas in the view and the javascript that would need customising, my question is is there any way I can affect the backend functionality? I'm assuming all the APIs live in compiled code and there is no way to edit this? Would I have to maintain a separate table with the additional details? Or is there a better way altogether that I am unaware of?
Yea, unfortunately at the moment Shipping Methods are not extendable like Payment Methods so it'll require a custom solution to record this extra information.
