Each shipping method in the list has two controls. The toggle in the Active column indicates whether the shipping method is active or inactive. Active shipping methods may be displayed in the storefront; inactive shipping methods are only displayed in the admin area. The checkbox in the green checkmark column indicates whether the shipping method is assigned to the product.
For example, a shipping method with the Active toggle set to YES and the checkbox selected is assigned to the product and will be displayed in the storefront. A shipping method with the Active toggle set to NO and the checkbox selected is assigned to the product, but will not be displayed in the storefront (it will be displayed in admin area pages though, such as the Place an Order tool). A shipping method with the Active toggle set to YES and the checkbox deselected is active but not assigned to the product, and so may be displayed in the storefront -- but not for orders containing the current product.
