Good question. One answer is that it can change, it just needs a code change
and application restart.
Basic business case is that someone will set the postage threshold before
the application is deployed. However they could choose any value. So I want
to test what happens when the application is setup with different values
e.g. zero because all postage is free and £30 cos postage is free if you
spend £50 or more.
Currently we do not want to do form based admin for this setting (and
similar ones) because such a change would be very infrequent, so we are
currently happy to redeploy to make the change.
