Restricting shipping to only local deliveries

Hi @Summer ,

I think what Ben is saying (though, I’m not 100% certain) is that his client wants to have their regular ‘shipping’ option appear to local customers when the cart is less than $65, then they want only the ‘local delivery’ option to appear to those same customers when the cart is $65 or more. This is possible if they set a ‘max’ cart total of $64.99 on the ‘shipping’ rate and a ‘min’ cart total of $65 on the ‘local delivery’ rate. But this would only work if the store only sells locally.

In the above setup scenario, the regular ‘shipping’ option cannot be localized by postal/zip code in Shopify. That means, if they sell and ship outside the local zone, a customer living outside the ‘local delivery’ area would not get any shipping when they order more than $65. This can’t be solved with Profiles unless the delivery limits are product-based. If the $65 min applies to all products sold in the shop, Profiles won’t work since a product can only be in one Profile at a time.

Ben - perhaps you can clarify a few things in addition to Summer’s question about the cost of local delivery:

  • Is your client shipping to customers outside of the local delivery zone?
  • Are the shipping prices being offered (regular shipping, local delivery) store-wide or product-based?

These details can help determine if you can achieve the outcome you’re looking for within Shopify’s native features or if you need to explore third-party options.

Best regards,

Ron
