Select 'Standard Delivery' if you are arranging delivery services independently, or Onfleet.

NOTE: Your delivery services can be arranged independently or be integrated with our delivery partner Onfleet. Keep in mind that they do not handle the logistics.

Delivery Hours

*NEW* If you are offering delivery only on specific days/hours of the week:

1. Checkmark 'Delivery Hours'.
   
   
2. Type or use the up/down arrows to enter values in the 'Open Time' and 'Close Time' fields (on the days that you offer delivery).
   
   
3. Toggle those days ON using the switch.

Delivery Hours will automatically display at the checkout screen.

e.g.

When orders are being placed outside of set delivery hours, a red message would display to let customers know that their order will be delivered during the next available window on [Day of Week] at [Start Time].

   2. Upload the KML file into Buddi

Step 7

Delivery Fee Settings:

1. Enable Delivery Fee: this is where you would enter the cost for delivery.
    
2. Waive Delivery Fee: you can set it so that delivery is free if their total sale reaches a certain amount. For example, $100 means that delivery is free if the customer purchases over $100 in products.
    
3. Minimum Order Amount: this is a minimum amount that a customer needs to purchase to be able to choose delivery as their fulfillment method.
