AbstractCarrier

What it does

AbstractCarrier is the base class for all shipping carrier implementations in Magento 2.

Developers extend this class when creating custom shipping methods or integrating with third-party carriers like UPS, FedEx, or USPS.

It provides common functionality for configuration management, rate calculations, handling fees, shipment requests, and country/address validation that all carriers need.
