Delivery Fee Presets

Save the delivery fees you charge often, by area or time, and pick them beside the Delivery Fee on a quote.

Save the delivery fees you charge most often, by area or by time of week, and pick them on a quote instead of typing each figure from memory.

Add your delivery fees

Open Settings → Delivery fees. Only account admins can see this page.

Under Add a delivery fee, enter a Name and an Amount, then select Add delivery fee. Name each fee for where or when it applies, so staff can tell them apart at a glance. For example:

  • Central, $40
  • Central weekend, $50
  • Inner suburbs, $45
  • Suburbs, $50
  • Suburbs weekend, $75
  • Outer suburbs, $55
  • Outer suburbs weekend, $90

The Delivery fees settings page, with seven fees from Central to Outer suburbs weekend listed under Your delivery fees

Edit, delete and reorder

Your fees are listed under Your delivery fees. Select Edit to change a fee’s name or amount, or Delete to remove it. Drag a row by its handle to move it; the list on a quote follows the same order, so put the fees you use most at the top.

Editing or deleting a fee never changes an existing quote. A quote keeps the amount it was given.

Choose a fee on a quote

On the quote’s Details step, the Delivery Fee section has a Choose a delivery fee… list beside the amount. Pick a fee and its amount fills the Delivery Fee field. The tax shown under the field updates to match.

You can still type any amount. Typing over a chosen fee is always allowed, and the list goes back to Choose a delivery fee… so it’s clear the figure is your own.

If your account has no delivery fees yet, admins see an Add delivery fee presets link in the same place. It opens the Delivery fees page in a new tab, so the quote you are working on stays open.

Things to know

  • Puree does not pick a weekend or after-hours fee for you. Staff choose the fee that fits the delivery.
  • The list appears in the staff quote builder only. Online order forms are unchanged and work out delivery from their own settings. See Delivery Fees by Postcode.
  • The tax band for delivery is still set on Settings → Tax, which links to Delivery fees. See Tax Rates.
