Local delivery status

This option provides the ability to enable or disable the local delivery status. When the status is enabled, customers will be able to access the delivery date and time selection option upon entering their postal code on the cart page. Conversely, if the status is disabled, the local delivery tab will consistently display an error message.

Location date-picker status

This feature provides you with the ability to enable or disable the display of the date and time selection feature based on the entered postal code. If your objective is to solely allow customers to check their availability by entering the postal code, it is recommended to keep this option disabled. Otherwise, customers will be presented with the option to select a date and time using the picker feature.

Local delivery

This feature provides two options for configuring local delivery: Postal code or Delivery validator widget.

Postal Code

By utilizing these settings, you can effectively manage and customize the local delivery process according to your specific requirements. The Postal code option allows you to define specific areas or regions where you offer delivery services. This ensures that only customers within those designated areas can place orders for local delivery.

If your postal code falls within the specified range, our system is able to accommodate it. Please ensure that you enter the postal codes in the following format: separated by a hyphen (-). For instance, if the postal code range is from 10001 to 10100, you should enter it as 10001-10100.

Additionally, if you have partial match postal codes where certain digits are the same and others are random, you can use the question mark sign (?) to represent any single character. For example, if the first 3 digits are fixed as 123 and the remaining digits can vary, you can enter it as 123???.

If you wish to enable the inclusion of multiple alphabets or numerals in the postal code, you may utilize the asterisk (*) symbol. For instance, if you desire to accept any character following a specific postal code sequence, you can employ the format AB12*. This will allow for the acceptance of any character in the postal code subsequent to the AB12 sequence.

Delivery validator widget

Alternatively, the Delivery validator widget offers a seamless and user-friendly experience for customers. It enables them to enter their postal code, and the widget automatically verifies if their location is eligible for local delivery from this location. This feature eliminates any potential errors or confusion during the ordering process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for both you and your customers.

Delivery validator widget is offering the following features.
➝ Customer within maximum radius
➝ Customer within maximum driving distance

Let’s have look at the each option and understand what they do.

Customer within maximum radius

Customer within maximum driving distance
Our esteemed customers residing within a feasible driving distance are presented with a range of options to suit their preferences. These options include rate preferences such as the fastest route or the shortest route, as well as the maximum driving distance in kilometers. Furthermore, our services allow you to conveniently avoid highways, tolls, and ferries as per your requirements.

– Route options: Customers within maximum driving distance are provided with route options that allow them to choose between the fastest route or the shortest route to reach their destination. This flexibility ensures that customers can prioritize either speed or distance based on their specific needs and preferences. For instance, if a customer is in a hurry, they can select the fastest route option, while those who prefer a scenic drive or have more time to spare can opt for the shortest route.

– Maximum driving distance in km: Another feature offered to customers within maximum driving distance is the ability to set a maximum driving distance in kilometers. This feature allows customers to specify the maximum distance they are willing to travel to reach their destination. It can be particularly useful when planning trips with specific time constraints or when customers want to explore places within a certain radius from their current location.

– Avoiding highways, tolls, and ferries: The service also provides customers with the option to avoid highways, toll roads, and ferries when calculating the driving route. This feature is valuable for customers who may have specific preferences or requirements, such as wanting to avoid toll charges or experiencing motion sickness on ferries. By allowing customers to exclude these elements from their route, the service ensures that the generated directions align with their individual preferences and needs.

Product selection

The product selection feature is a valuable tool that enables you to easily choose the products you wish to make available for local delivery. With this feature, you have the flexibility to select from various options, including All products, Specific products with include exclude, or specific product tags. This means you can tailor your local delivery offerings based on your specific preferences and requirements. Whether you want to offer all your products for local delivery, only a specific set of products, or products with particular tags, this feature allows you to effortlessly customize your selection.

This level of option ensures that you have complete control over which products are eligible for local delivery, allowing you to meet the unique needs and demands of your customers.

The “All products” option is ideal if you want to offer your entire product catalog for local delivery, providing a comprehensive selection for your customers to choose from.

On the other hand, the “Specific products with include exclude” option gives you the ability to handpick specific products that you want to include or exclude from local delivery. This is particularly useful if you have certain items that are not suitable for local delivery or if you want to create exclusive offerings for this service.

Additionally, the “Specific product tags” option allows you to categorize your products using tags and select products based on these tags for local delivery. This feature streamlines the process of managing and organizing your products, making it easier to offer targeted local delivery options.

Overall, the product selection feature provides you with the flexibility and control to curate a tailored local delivery experience for your customers.
