  - `fee_percentage` number: The percentage of the carrier rate added or subtracted, according to `fee_mode`.

  - `fallback_rate_currency` string: The currency of `fallback_rate_amount`.
  - `fallback_percentage` number: The percentage of the cart total charged, when `fallback_mode` is `cart_percentage`.
  - `amount` number: The fixed price for a `flat_rate` option.
