Delivery pricing linked to delivery areas

Would it be possible to have delivery areas link to the delivery charge structure? Instead of looking for a minimum price, or by weight, it would convenient to have delivery costs based on certain locations/areas. Or, function as an additional cost.

For instance, delivering to a nearby location may cost 10£ due to the area, but a larger order may then make it free, whereas a further area may require a larger minimum order to cover the higher delivery charge.

Cheers,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the suggestion. That’s a great idea and would make a nice addition to Breww’s delivery charge feature. I’ll discuss this with the team.

Cheers,
Matt

We’d also find this really useful. It helps to differentiate areas rather than simply customer types / price books.

Thanks,
Jack

I’m just wondering if this is planned shortly? Our delivery charge also depends on the delivery area, so I currently have no (good) way to force a charge on a customer.

Sorry, no this isn’t currently planned for the short term.

To do this “properly”, we expect to implement a rule system (a bit like Delivery rules) to allow a fallback delivery charge to be used if one isn’t:

  • Applied directly to the invoice
  • Applied to the individual customer
  • Applied to the customer group (if applicable)
  • Applied to the customer type

We don’t want to “cut corners” with a quick solution based on just delivery areas and then find out that others want different filters for when a charge applies and find ourselves in a position where it’s hard to migrate from the original solution to the better solution.

If anyone else would like to see this, please give this thread a vote and help to move it up the priority list :+1:

I’m pleased to let you know that Delivery Rules can now be used to apply delivery charge structures. :tada: This is a slightly different approach to what I outlined above, but we feel it is the best solution.

We hope this is useful and saves you time!
