Limitations
You cannot create negative rates.
If you want to create discounts for local delivery, please check out our Delivery discount code article.If you are using price-based rates, Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery calculates the delivery rate based on the order total before any discounts have been applied.
This is because the post-discount cart total is not available via the Shopify Carrier Service API—it is a Shopify limitation. We recommend adjusting your rates accordingly.
If you would like to see this implemented in the future, you can contact Shopify support in order to report this as a feature request.
