Configure Logistics
If in your business you want to offer the possibility of sending your products to your customers, you have three options:
- Creating your own transport configurations, whether you make deliveries yourself or already have a trusted delivery company.
- If you do not have your own transportation, 'contracting' deliveries to companies that offer their transportation services for all the businesses on the platform. You can contact these companies directly to find out the details of their service offering for all the shipments that you need in your business: whether for online purchases or for the logistical needs that you need offline. li>
- Combining your own transportation configurations with those of the companies that offer their transportation services within the platform.
Before you start managing transport configurations…
You must have the option to sell your products activated in the "configure store" section of your "control panel" (if not, you will not be able to see the "transport settings" button), to do this, Click on my account / control panel / configure store and check the "ON" option in '"Do you want to sell your products?".
With this action they will be enabled ;the configuration of payment methods and other details related to your store (minimum order and free shipping over a certain amount).
Whether you make the deliveries yourself or if you work with a company of logistics, you can incorporate these transportation services to your website. Create as many configurations as transportation services you offer (ambient, cold, zoned, free, etc.). For example, if you offer deliveries in your neighborhood with your own means of transport and you also make cold deliveries with an external company throughout the province, you have to create two configurations: one 'Own local transport' and another 'Province cold transport' , each with its characteristics.
In the "logistics configuration" panel you will be shown both the transport configurations that you have selected from the logistics companies attached to the platform, such as the own configurations that you have configured:
