Why doesn't the shipping method appear on the checkout page when running using npm run dev?

Hi, thanks for sharing this repository. I'm encountering an issue when running it on localhost with npm run dev as the shipping method does not appear on the checkout page. I've followed the provided instructions, but could you assist me in running it on my localhost?

Hi, in order to see the custom shipping rate the commerce server has to invoke the SPI, and it cannot call a local machine (localhost:3000) address, so the code has to be deployed on a server and the shipping rate has to be switched on for the geo in order to see it in the cart page and checkout,

Hi, do you know how to display shipping rates locally?

[carmelc]

You mean during the checkout process? For this, you would need a static IP (public) that points to your local machine and configure the SPI to call it, and you should configure your firewall to accept external HTTP requests on this port,
Some services provides public address to local machine and some ISPs also provide the ability to have a constant IP (your IP might change from time to time otherwise),

Yes, I have already deployed to production, but it still doesn't work. Could you perhaps provide instructions on how to set this up?
