## Shipping options

You can retrieve the [shipping options for a cart](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api-references/shopper-apis/cart/shipping-options#v1-shoppers-me-carts-active-shipping-options-shippingoptionsid) or [all shipping options](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api-references/shopper-apis/cart/shipping-options#v1-shoppers-me-carts-active-shipping-options). The `shippingOptions` object in the response retrieves the discounted shipping rate based on the matching deployed [shipping discount offer](/commerce-api/shopper-apis/cart/managing-shipping-options/providing-a-shipping-discount.md#creating-a-shipping-discount-offer). A successful request returns the `costWithDiscount` and `formattedCostWithDiscount` .

<table><thead><tr><th width="323">Parameter</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>costWithDiscount</code></td><td>The sum of the shipping cost with discounts.</td></tr><tr><td><code>formattedCostWithDiscount</code></td><td>The sum of the shipping cost with a discount in locale currency format (for example, $ 19.14). Contact your Digital River team to set up the currency symbol, decimal separator, and number of fractional digits for the formatted cost with discount amount.</td></tr></tbody></table>
