The configuration of a modal is made on Shipping Settings and Catalog modules, in that order. Enabling modal in Settings and associating it to a Carrier will automatically generate a field on the SKU register, where you can define whether there is a need to classify a category as a modal, so that it can be attended by a designated carrier.

Your Shipping strategy as a whole needs to be structured in order to comply with this specific kind of delivery. Which means you need to have the carrier that delivers a specific product properly associated to a dock and the dock in turn associated to a stock.

Consider a store in which part of the dairy demands a carrier equipped with a cooled system suitable for the delivery of perishables. Due to that, you must ensure that only this type of carrier makes the delivery of these products.

To accomplish that, first of all you must enable a refrigerated option of modal, and associate it to a specific carrier. Then, you must select each product to be part of this modal, in order to make the connection between products and logistics.
