This tool allows technical users to access detailed information about the shipping options retrieval process. You can view technical details on requests, configurations, and interactions with shipping adapters and customizations. You can see how configuration options influence the routing option generation process. Based on that information you can identify and debug potential issues with shipping providers and the overall process.
