Charge the right local delivery price for every postcode | Buunto

Delivering a few streets away doesn’t cost the same as driving to the edge of your delivery zone. But if every customer sees the same local delivery price, you either absorb the extra cost of longer journeys or overcharge the people closest to you.

Buunto now lets you give each postcode-based delivery area its own price at Shopify checkout.

Different prices for different parts of your delivery zone

You can divide the area served by one local delivery location into smaller postcode groups. A bakery might charge £5 for deliveries in the town centre and £10 for surrounding villages, without creating extra locations or changing how customers book a date.

You only need separate prices for the areas where your delivery cost changes. Everywhere else can continue using your usual local delivery rate.

Your customer automatically sees the right option

When a customer enters their postcode, Buunto identifies their delivery area before showing the dates and times available to them. Their selection then follows them to checkout, where the matching delivery price is shown automatically.

Instead of choosing between several similar rates, they see one clear option with their delivery area, date, and time:

Local delivery - Outer zone (Friday 7 August, 11am - 12pm) - £10.00

The rates for your other delivery areas are hidden. That means less confusion at checkout and no risk of a customer accidentally choosing a cheaper price meant for another postcode.

Available now with checkout delivery options sync

Delivery-area pricing works with Buunto’s postcode checker and checkout delivery options sync. There is no code required, and your existing general or location-specific delivery prices can remain in place as fallbacks.

Follow our checkout delivery options sync guide to add prices for your delivery areas and test the customer experience.

Questions about delivery prices by postcode

How do I charge a different local delivery price for each postcode area on Shopify?

In Shopify, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery > Local delivery and add a delivery zone for each area, with its own postcodes, price and optional minimum order. Each location can have up to 10 zones (Shopify Help Center). If your customers choose a delivery date before checkout, set the prices in Buunto instead, with settings per postcode area: the customer enters their postcode in the date picker, and checkout shows the price for their area.

Which Buunto plan has settings per postcode area?

The Advanced plan ($19.99 a month) and the Unlimited plan ($36.99 a month), both with a 14-day free trial. They work together with the postcode checker, which is on the same plans.

Does it work with US ZIP codes?

Yes. The postcode checker works with ZIP codes as well as postcodes, so you can give each group of ZIP codes its own local delivery price. See how to offer local delivery only to some postcodes on Shopify for the ways to list them.

Do customers still see their delivery date at checkout?

Yes. The date and time they chose appear in checkout's delivery options, next to the price for their area. This works on every Shopify plan, Basic included.
