You can set up uStore to enable customers to choose a delivery provider. This way, customers have the option to distribute their products by selecting from a list of available delivery providers at the store.
uStore is shipped with two out-of-the-box delivery carriers (FedEx and UPS) and two additional configurable manual delivery options:
· FedEx and UPS: Superusers can enable customers to use FedEx or UPS as their delivery carriers for product distribution. The prices for the delivery are generated online (taking into account the product weight) by the respective delivery carrier (i.e., 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 (i.e., manual mailing). Using manual shipping, users with Superuser permissions can set up the prices for the delivery service.
Notes:
· The Manual Shipping price of a Composite Product overrides the Manual Shipping price of all of its components.
· If a delivery provider has been defined for the store, as in Defining Delivery Settings, then you must select at least one delivery provider in the Delivery Setup > General tab.
