Before you create rates

Rates are tied to the zone, and you can have as many rates as you like. You can create price-based rates, weight-based rates, or have both active at the same time—Zapiet - Rates by Zip Code will show all the rates your customer is eligible for.

Create your first rate

  1. In Zapiet - Rates by Zip Code, go to Zones & Rates.

  2. Click the zone you want to create rates for.

  3. Go to the Rates section.

  4. Click Add price-based rate or Add weight-based rate.

You’ll now be able to give your rate a name and a description, set rate limits (minimum and maximum order price/weight), and adjust pricing.

Note

You can change the weight unit and the currency symbol in Settings.

Create a price-based rate

In this example, we’ll create rates based on the order price.

Rate 1

  1. Let’s give this rate a recognizable name: Delivery rate. We’ll also tell our customers they can get free delivery if they spend more than $30 to give them the incentive to spend more.

  2. For Rate limits, we’ll set:

    • no minimum order price

    • maximum order price of $30

  3. For Rate price, we’ll set it to $5.

  4. Click Create rate.

Rate 2

All done! You should now have these rates:
