Zapiet – Rates by Distance
Zapiet – Rates by Distance enhance the delivery and shipping aspects of e-commerce businesses. By calculating expenses based on the distance from the shop or warehouse to the customer’s address, it serves as a critical tool for companies aiming to offer precise and equitable delivery pricing, improve the customer shopping journey, and streamline their operations.
It calculates delivery and shipping costs using either driving distance or straight-line distance, offering flexibility in how distances are measured and rates applied. For businesses operating from multiple locations, it ensures smooth integration, allowing each site to implement local pricing and rules efficiently. Store owners also have the flexibility to choose between imperial and metric units, catering to local standards and preferences.
The customization options are extensive, allowing for the setting of base fees, charges per distance, and maximum delivery distances. It accommodates manual overrides for specific addresses and supports weight and price-based rates along with packaging fees. Furthermore, the app’s capability to support multiple languages and currencies ensures that businesses can cater to a global audience without compromising delivery rate specificity.
It enables them to charge for delivery accurately based on the actual distance to the customer’s location, fostering transparency and fairness in pricing. This precision in setting delivery rates can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty. The app’s flexibility and compatibility with multiple locations, coupled with its versatile settings for rate calculation, make it highly suitable for businesses of various sizes and operational complexities.
Customers benefit from the transparency and fairness in delivery charges, which enriches the shopping experience by ensuring trust in how delivery costs are calculated relative to their proximity to the store. This aspect is especially appealing to local shoppers who value convenience and reliability in their online purchases.
