# Method name: getConfig()

# Method package: wixEcom

# Method menu location: wixEcom --> EcomShippingRates --> getConfig

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/events-service-plugins/e-commerce/service-plugins/ecom-shipping-rates/get-config.md

# Method Description:

Retrieves the configuration of your shipping rates plugin.

Set your shipping rates configuration in the `return` of the `getConfig()` function. Wix calls this function when you publish your site. 
Changes to the configuration don't take effect until you publish your site.

The object returned by `getConfig()` contains values used to display the extended shipping rate on your site's dashboard. 

### Where to find `getConfig()`
When you [add the Shipping Rates service plugin](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/code-tutorials/wix-e-commerce-stores/e-commerce-shipping-rates-custom-extension.md#step-1-create-a-new-shipping-rates-extension), 
a folder is automatically added to your site. Use the `-config.js` file in the folder to set the default configuration for your 
implementation of the service plugin.

For more information on setting your configuration, see [Tutorial: Shipping Rates Service Plugin](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/code-tutorials/wix-e-commerce-stores/e-commerce-shipping-rates-custom-extension.md#my-extension-name-configjs).



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Example of a configuration file

```javascript
// Place this code in the <my-extension-name>-config.js file
// in the 'ecom-shipping-rates' folder of the
// Custom Extensions section on your site.

export function getConfig() {
  return {
    name: "East-Coast Shipping Provider",
    description: "Providing shipping options for the US east-coast"
  };
};
```
