Delivery fees

A delivery fee may be charged in addition to, or instead of, the shipping fee described above. Delivery fees are very similar to shipping methods except that delivery fees are calculated based on price (not including discounts) instead of weight. However, to shoppers, delivery fees are normally shown with tax included.

Like shipping methods, each delivery fee is assigned to a user segment. The fee charged depends on the segment to which a customer belongs. If the customer is in a segment that is not charged a delivery fee (for example, resellers) or if the fee otherwise evaluates to zero, then no delivery fee is shown on the order form.

Delivery fees may be specified as either an absolute amount, or a percentage of the total order price (without tax or shipping charges). If specified as an absolute amount, it is specified in the merchant’s currency and calculated for other currencies.

Delivery fees are specified in intervals to allow graduated delivery fees for different order amounts. Intervals are specified by minimum total order amount.
