CarrierService Multiple line descriptions

[bgodbgg]

I saw that EasyShip is able to insert multiple lines of a description to their shipping options at checkout and I can't figure out how to return that in the callbackUrl response for a custom carrierService.  Adding <br> or <br /> or \n just gets treated as straight text and doesn't cause a line break.  Anyone know how to do this?  I've included a picture of what I'm trying to achieve.

Hey @bgodbgg 

Have you experimented with min_delivery_date and max_delivery_date? I suspect that's what's creating the ETA line.

{
   "rates": [
       {
           "service_name": "canadapost-overnight",
           "service_code": "ON",
           "total_price": "1295",
           "description": "This is the fastest option by far",
           "currency": "CAD",
           "min_delivery_date": "2013-04-12 14:48:45 -0400",
           "max_delivery_date": "2013-04-12 14:48:45 -0400"
       }
   ]
}

This was it, thank you.  My mocked call was using dates from the past which is why it never showed up.  Do you happen to know if it's possible to simply have 2 lines for a custom description? or more than 2 lines?

Good to know! Regarding the two lines - I don't believe so.

Hello @SBD_ @bgodbgg , 

I was wondering if you guys could help me with this similar situation. I am sending the below response server to Shopify.

{
    rates: [
      {
        service_name: `USPS - Priority Mail`,
        service_code: 'FR',
        total_price: 0,
        currency: 'USD',
        min_delivery_date: '2020-09-17T13:01:51.892Z',
        max_delivery_date: '2020-09-24T13:01:51.892Z',
        description: `No additional taxes to be paid at delivery.`,
      },
    ],
  }

 If you check the difference between max_delivery_date and min_delivery_date is 7 but in Shopify, I am getting results as 5 business days(screenshot below)

If you guys could explain how max_delivery_date and min_delivery_date works here that would be great. 

Thanks.

It was marked as solved because it is not possible to do multiple line descriptions.  The only additional line you can have is the number of business days.  And I believe it is saying 5 because 7 days from now includes the weekend and Saturday/Sunday are not standard business days.
