Delivery rates with Rapidus
While Rapidus has rather affordable pricing, you can choose how you want to charge your customers for delivery:
Offer free deliveries or a lower delivery rate to entice your customers
Pass the cost of delivery to the customer (recommended)
Earn more by charging a higher delivery rate than Rapidus
To offer free deliveries or if you want to calculate the rates yourself, disable Rapidus rates. You will then control the rates from Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Rates page.
To pass the cost of delivery to the customer, enable Rapidus delivery rates and give the rate a name.
To charge on top of Rapidus delivery rates, add either a flat amount or a percentage in the handling fee section.
If you like, you can offer free delivery for a customer that makes a large order. Check Enable free delivery when order value exceeds minimum order value and set the minimum order value.
