How to Record Deliveries and Delivery Fees

Short answer

At the POS, click Shipping in the totals to add the Delivery Address, Shipping Charges, Delivery Status and Delivery Person. Track every delivery under Sales → Deliveries, and update it with Edit Delivery. Delivery fees are kept out of your sales and profit.

If you deliver to customers, record the delivery on the sale. You then have one list of what is waiting, on the way and delivered.

Add delivery to a sale

  1. On the POS, add the items and select the customer.
  2. Click Shipping in the totals.
  3. Fill in the Delivery Address, the Shipping Charges (the delivery fee, if you charge one), the Delivery Status and the Delivery Person, then click Update.
  4. Take payment. The delivery fee is part of what the customer pays.

Track deliveries

Open Sales → Deliveries to see every sale with a delivery. To update one, click Actions → Edit Delivery and change the Delivery Status: Ordered, Packed, Shipped, Delivered or Cancelled. Fill in Delivered To when it arrives.

The Deliveries page with an order's Actions menu open and Edit Delivery outlined
Update the status from Edit Delivery as the order moves.

How delivery fees are counted

A delivery fee is money you collect on the rider's behalf, so it is not counted in your sales or profit. It is in the cash drawer and in what the customer owes. To see how much delivery money you collected, open Quick Reports → Delivery Revenue.

Common questions

Can I print something for the rider?
Yes. In Sales → All Sales, choose Delivery Note or Packing Slip from Actions.
Why is the delivery fee not in my sales total?
SellarPro treats delivery as a pass-through to the rider, not income, so it does not inflate your sales or profit.
