Add weight-based rates
Before you add price-based rates:
Rates are linked to zones. You can have as many weight-based rates as you like. DingDoong will show the rate your customer is eligible for at checkout.
Some steps to add weight-based rates for a zone:
Step 1: Set conditions
Click on "Add rate by weight", set rate limits (min & max order weight) and adjust the rate
*Note:
Default value when you haven't picked any values
Min value=0
Max value=Unlimited
You can enter or click the increase/ decrease button to adjust your desired value. Valid decimal is with "," or "."
Set the rate to 0 if you want to offer free delivery for the zip codes in this zone
Step 2: Give your rate a name
Make it formal and recognizable enough as the name will appear on the checkout page along with the charges
Example: Order weight less than 3kg
Step 3: Give your rate a description
Make it formal and recognizable enough as the description will appear on the checkout page along with the name
Use it to send any messages to your customers:
For example, to encourage them to spend more for the order, you might give the rate a description like: "For all orders over $50 we will deliver your order for free" or to notice your customers of the estimated delivery time, you might say: "Expected delivery is on 25 May", "Please allow 5-10 business days for delivery after order processing" or to confirm your customer chosen delivery date/time like: " Arriving on your chosen date between 9am-1pm. Perfect for residential addresses"
Step 4: Click "Add rate"
