Metadata for the selection of Agents sent to TA for shipping service:
E-commerce needs to submit Metadata with the following information on orders for a customer's chosen agent to be sent to TA.

For instance, to correctly input the AgentID, send: "Key: location.external_id" and "Value: AgentID".

BeX will then map the AgentID from the Value in the order's Metadata to QuickID if the following is included in the JSON template:

   },
	"agent": {
	"quickId": "{META[location.external_id]}",
	"name": "{META[location.name]}",
	"address1": "{META[location.address.address_lines.1]}",
	"address2": "{META[location.address.address_lines.2]}",
	"zipcode": "{META[location.address.postal_code]}",
	"city": "{META[location.address.city]}",
	"country": "{META[location.address.country]}",
	"phone": "",
	"email": "",
	"mobile": ""
    },

The Key can be set by the e-commerce, but the JSON above needs updating to reflect the key.
For example, if the Key for Agent ID is set as location.id instead of location.external_id, then the JSON needs to be updated to:

"quickId": "{META[location.id]}",

This ensures the correct value is mapped from the order's Metadata and placed into JSON, sent as QuickID to nShift.
