How To: Set Pricing for Delivery in Delivery Options
In TapGoods PRO, you can set up Pricing for Delivery, which is how you will charge Customers for Delivery on their Orders. Setting Pricing for Delivery will make creating Orders in our system quicker than ever by adding consistent Pricing that can be calculated on each Order. It is important to note that changing the Pricing for Delivery will only impact new Orders going forward.
Pricing for Delivery is set up in Delivery Options of Order Settings, which can be found under Admin in the TapGoods PRO menu.
In Order Settings, scroll down to Delivery Options and click the dropdown arrow to view the various customizable features within this Order Setting.
In Pricing for Delivery, there are an array of options to customize how your Deliveries are charged. To edit the Pricing on Deliveries, click the Pencil icon in DeliveryOptions and scroll down to Pricing for Delivery.
Prior to editing Pricing on Delivery, you can add Custom Delivery Fees to your account. Custom Delivery Fees are based on Zip Code and will apply to any Order located in a Zip Code to which you have applied an additional Fee.
One unique feature is the ability to charge a Tax on Delivery. Check the box next to Charge Tax for Delivery to enable this feature. Enabling Tax for delivery will allow TapGoods to calculate the cost of Taxes into your Delivery Pricing automatically.
Additionally, you can calculate the Delivery Fee based on True Drive Distance calculated by Google Maps. To charge based on the true drive distance rather than calculating a straight line from your Location to the Delivery Address; check the box next to Calculate delivery fees based on true drive distance.
True Drive Distance accounts for hills, turns, and additional mileage added on by factors that are not usually accounted for in turn-by-turn directions. This setting is especially useful for business owners located in mountainous or hilly areas, where drive distance is impacted in unpredictable ways.
Within Pricing for Delivery, you can also set one or a combination of the types of charges listed below.
- Fixed Fee: A fixed, constant fee that customers will be charged regardless of the cost or size of the order.
- % of Sales: A fee calculated using a set percentage of the cost of the order.
- Mileage: A fee set by the TapGoods PRO user per mile.
- For Miles Over: The mileage fee will apply beyond a certain mileage (i.e. The customer will be charged $1 for every mile driven over 13 miles).
- Users can set For Miles Over at any quantity that is 0+.
Once default Delivery Fees have been set up, click Save.
