Bulky goods, priced as bulky goods

Shipping rules work on the product, the supplier, a tag or a product type. A wardrobe can carry its own surcharge, be forced onto a pallet courier and be forbidden from the parcel method — all without touching the rest of the catalogue.

• Surcharge per shipment, per item or per line
• A method forced, or ruled out, per product
• Sub-zones inside a country: islands and mountain regions priced apart
• When several rules meet in one cart: the highest, the sum, or one charge

Free shipping that does not bankrupt you

Bulky products can be left out of the value compared against the free-shipping threshold. A €120 cart with a sofa in it does not ship free because the threshold was written for cushions.

Six weeks is not out of stock

Made-to-order furniture is a pre-order: the shopper buys now and sees the lead time on the product page and in the confirmation. Customers waiting for a restock can leave their email and be told the day it lands.

Fabric, finish and configuration are options on the product, each able to change the price — so one sofa page covers the eleven versions you actually make.

Collection, and delivery you do yourself

Pickup from the warehouse is its own option with its own address and hours, and it does not pay a courier rate it never used. If you deliver your own city with your own van, local delivery zones carry their own prices.

A sofa is a financed purchase

Where your payment provider offers it in your market, payment in instalments appears at checkout — for a category where the price is the objection, that is often the difference between a cart and an order.

Stock across more than one warehouse is tracked per location, so an order is fulfilled from the one that actually has it.
