Defining Delivery Settings
When you set up the store, you need to define how products will be shipped and delivered to customers. In the Delivery Settings tab you define which delivery providers will be available in your store. Customers can then distribute their products by selecting from a list of the available delivery providers.
Fedex and UPS are common delivery providers in North America. If you don't use Fedex or UPS, you can use manual mailing or manual shipping to set up prices for your local courier and mailing services.
● FedEx and UPS: Users belonging to the Superuser group can allow customers to use FedEx or UPS as their delivery carriers for product distribution. The prices for the delivery are generated online by the respective delivery carrier (that is, FedEx or UPS) and sent back to the store. In addition, you can apply Markup, which can be added to the cost of the goods to cover the overhead expenses.
● Manual Mailing: Used for per-item delivery, where each product of the order is sent to a different address. For example, a customer may order a set of postcards and distribute them to recipients directly using a mail drop. Using manual mailing, Superusers can set up the prices for the delivery service.
● Manual Shipping: Used for sending the entire order to a single address. For example, customers may order sets of business cards and distribute them themselves, instead of sending them directly to clients (that is, manual mailing). Using manual shipping, Superusers can set up the prices for the delivery service.
If you use a 3rd party delivery provider, you need to set up an
account with the delivery provider before you can use its services in
uStore.
