Setting up local delivery for online orders
Updated over a year ago

You can set up the option for local customers to have their orders delivered. If an eligible customer's address is in your delivery area, then the customer has the local delivery as an option at checkout.

To set up local delivery, you need to enable the local delivery option for each location that you offer delivery from. You can offer delivery within a set distance from your location, or for certain postal codes.

After you set up local delivery in your shipping settings, you can choose to have you or your staff deliver orders, or use a third-party delivery service.

Set up the local delivery option

You set up local delivery for each location that you want to offer delivery from. You can offer delivery within a distance radius, or you can offer delivery to select postal codes.If your location is in a region that doesn't use postal codes, then you can set your delivery area using a distance radius. Local delivery radius is calculated as a straight line distance between two locations.

To use a delivery radius, your business location must be verified. Review and modify your location's address to make sure that it's accurate.

If you choose a delivery radius, then you can choose to include neighboring states, provinces, or regions by enabling Include neighboring states or regions. For example, suppose that your business is located in the southeast corner of California, 10 miles west from Arizona. If you set your delivery radius to be 20 miles and enable Include neighboring states or regions, then your delivery radius will extend 10 miles into Arizona. If this setting is not enabled, then local delivery won't be available for customers in Arizona.

The delivery radius won't extend into other countries, even with Include neighboring states or regions enabled.

After you set up local delivery, you can start fulfilling local delivery orders.

Steps:

  1. From your AllValue admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.
