Setting up your local delivery

If you're taking care of delivering products yourself, you can set up a local delivery service that caters to specific areas. By doing this, you're not just taking control of your deliveries but also saving money in the process.

You can choose exactly where you want to offer local delivery, right down to specific neighborhoods or postal codes. When a customer's address falls within one of these chosen areas, they'll see the option for local delivery at checkout.

Note

When handling an order through local delivery, there's no need for a tracking number or carrier details. Since you're taking care of the delivery personally, those specifics are unnecessary.

Setting up your store locations

If you have multiple warehouses, stores, or any other locations to store inventory, you can easily add and manage them in your Shoplazza admin. To learn how to set up locations, please refer to Setting up multiple store locations.

Setting up your local delivery

1. From your Shoplazza admin > Settings > Shipping, scroll down to the local delivery section and click on the location that you need to edit.

2. Here you can activate the location status by clicking the button on the right.

3. You can set your desired trigger amount for this shipping method here.

Note

This shipping method can only be selected at checkout when the order amount reaches the trigger amount that you set here.

4. Choose how to define your delivery zone from two options:

  • Use postal code
    • Enter a single postal code or separate multiple entries with commas.
    • To include a set, add an asterisk (*) after where indicates the beginning of the range.

  • Set the delivery radius range
    • Choose a distance unit between Kilometer and Mile.
    • Enter a radius distance ranging from 0 to 160 kilometers or 0 to 100 miles.

Note

To use this feature, you'll need to enable the PRO store plan and then reach out the customer support manager to activate the Checkout Page Map Selection feature. This will help determine if the delivery address falls within the delivery range of the designated pickup location.

5. Add your delivery zone details, including zone name, postal code/radius range, and delivery information.

6. Select a fee type for your shipping between Free shipping and Rated by order amount.

  • Free shipping: Choosing Free shipping allows your customers to have their products delivered at no extra cost.
  • Rated by order amount: Selecting Rated by order amount requires you to define a minimum order amount along with a corresponding shipping fee.

Note

  •  Click on Add Row to establish up to 5 price ranges for any shipping zone.
  • Simply define the lower limit of the interval, and the system will automatically determine the upper limit for you.

7. Add or delete delivery zone for a location.

  • Add delivery zone: You can add up to 5 delivery zones by clicking Add delivery zone at the bottom left.

  • Delete delivery zone: Easily delete a delivery zone by clicking the trash can icon in the top right corner of the zone.

8. After completing the above steps, you can either click on Save button at the top right or the bottom right on this page.

By offering local delivery to specific areas, you can provide a convenient and personalized experience for your customers, increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. This will enable you to strengthen business operations and take your delivery services to the next level.
