In Ollie Order, it is possible to charge for shipping. To do so, you will add shipping as another product, which you can then add to any order. Here's a quick 'how-to'!
Add Shipping as a Product
-
Go to the Products page on the left hand side and select + New Product
-
Fill out Product Details and select Create:
-
Select the appropriate brand
-
Name the product "Shipping"
-
Select Shipping from the tax type drop-down
-
Add a tag "non-alcoholic
Note: you will want to leave all of the other product details blank as they are not applicable.
-
-
Add Variant Details and then select Create.
As with any product, you are required to have at least one variant. In the case of shipping, you will just create one variant:
-
Add zeros for the Sku
-
Select Shipping as the Container Type
-
Add a 1 in the Bottles per Selling Unit box
-
Add a `1 in the Selling Units per Case box
-
Add pricing as you would like it to charged per each customer type
-

4. Toggle Shipping ON under the Warehouses & Inventory tab
Ensure the Shipping product is toggled ON for each warehouses you could place orders from, that you would like to add the cost of shipping onto.
Note: currently you cannot add shipping to orders that are being fulfilled by external warehouses/distributors (as external distributors will see an unknown sku and the order will fail if you try and ship it). For these warehouses, you will want to ensure Shipping is toggled OFF.

Add Shipping to An Order
Shipping can only be added to orders from your private warehouses (as external distributors will see an unknown sku and the order will fail if you try and ship it). Ensure you have a private warehouse selected for fulfillment and then simply add all the products to your order as you normally would. Once you have added all your products, add Shipping last (so that it appears as a line item at the bottom).
The shipping will appear in red, as it is not a product in inventory but this will not prevent you from accepting and shipping the order.
You can then accept, ship, deliver and charge for the order in full...including shipping!
