Config and basics for all shipping: Ability to enable/disable for frontend of backend specifically

Ability to enable/disable shipping method on frontend and/or backend or both

Usecase: we want to enable free shipping or pickup only in the backend (for the admin to use, not the customers)

For some of you, this might come as a surprise, but Magento does not support ?disabling? the shipping method on frontend but leaving it on in admin area. OK, thats not 100% correct since you can do some sort of a ?tweak config? that would enable this effect. The thing is that although Magento supports ?global/website/store? configs, shipping methods are turned on/off on a global and website level. On store level you can simply edit the title of a shipping method plus few other things, but usually you cannot enable/disable shipping method on a store level.

Now, imagine a case you only have one website defined in your Magento system, if you go to the admin ?Sales > Orders? and click ?Create New Order? button then the first next screen you see is the ?please select a customer? grid where you choose a customer for which you want to create an order.

I would take this request one extra step and ask for a complete decoupling of shipping rate calculation in both frontend and backend from the creation of shipping labels.

I often find that merchants want to provide free shipping or even flat rate but in reality they are using UPS and thus want to create the labels and shipping requests from the backend. There is no reason to tie the creation of shipping labels to whatever the customer chose for shipping in the front end.

What do you think?

Hello. This definitely makes sense however is not on our near term roadmap. We highly encourage anyone to contribute the code to make it happen.
