Creating and Adding Automatic Delivery Fee

This guide will walk you through creating an automatic delivery fee in Acadia POS


1. Create the "Delivery Fee" Item:

  • Log into your Acadia online backend and go to Items.
  • Click + New Item.
  • Enter a name for the item, such as "Delivery Fee".
  • In the Price field, enter the amount of your delivery fee.
  • Set the Tax Class to "No Tax" (assuming delivery fees are not taxable in your location)
  • Click Save.
  • Once the item is saved, locate the Item ID number assigned to your newly created "Delivery Fee" item. You'll need this number in a later step.

2. Enable Automatic Delivery Fee:

  • Go to Settings > General Settings.
  • Scroll down to the Add-ons section at the bottom of the page.
  • Locate the setting labeled "Automatic Shipping Fee On Delivery Orders".
  • Change the setting to Enabled. This will activate the automatic delivery fee feature for delivery orders.

3. Assign the Delivery Fee Item:

  • Scroll down to the section labeled "Delivery Fee" (Note: you will not see this section until the Automatic Shipping Fee on Delivery Orders Add-on has been enabled)
  • In the designated field, enter the Item ID number you recorded earlier for your "Delivery Fee" item. This links the automatic delivery fee to the specific item you created.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.

Verification:

  • With these settings in place, whenever a delivery order is created in the system, the "Delivery Fee" item will be automatically added to the cart, reflecting the designated delivery cost.
