Is it possible to add custom field to a delivery method?

You can add custom panels in this views that you can handle your extra field and data.

Yes, i tried that but doesn’t seem to show any extra custom field.

Here my code:  
using System.Linq;  
using Litium.Foundation.ModuleExtensions;  
using Litium.Foundation.Modules.ECommerce.Carriers;

```
namespace Litium.Accelerator.Mvc.Site.ECommerce.Panels
{
public partial class DeliveryJeevesField : System.Web.UI.UserControl, IPanelData<DeliveryCarrier>
{
    private readonly string _jeevesCommentKey = "JeevesComment";

    public void InitPanelData(DeliveryCarrier value)
    {
        // Get administrator comment that is stored as additional delivery info
        var jeevesComment = value.AdditionalDeliveryInfo.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key == _jeevesCommentKey);
        if (jeevesComment != null)
        {
            JeevesCommentTextBox.Text = jeevesComment.Value;
        }
    }

    public void SavePanel(DeliveryCarrier value)
    {
        // Save administrator comment to additional delivery info
        var jeevesComment = value.AdditionalDeliveryInfo.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key == _jeevesCommentKey);
        if (jeevesComment != null)
        {
            jeevesComment.Value = JeevesCommentTextBox.Text;
        }
        else
        {
            value.AdditionalDeliveryInfo.Add(new AdditionalDeliveryInfoCarrier(_jeevesCommentKey, value.ID, JeevesCommentTextBox.Text));
        }
    }

}
}

```

Try to use the `IPanelData<DeliveryMethodCarrier>` instead of the `IPanelData<DeliveryCarrier>`, the `DeliveryCarrier` is used during order creation.

You can stor the information on the `DeliveryMethodCarrier.CustomData` this object will be serialized to json and stored with the delivery method, so all datatypes that can be converted to and from json with [Json.Net](http://Json.Net) can be used.
