Sometimes you might want to add shipping fees to the sales transactions. But the shipping fees often have different prices based on how far the destination is and you might don't want to give access to the cashier to edit the price in the Sell menu.
This article will explain how to create non-inventory products for delivery services and how to use them.
I. Add Shipping Costs as a Product
Step 1. Go to Product, then Click Add
Step 2. Input Product Detail & Type, then Click Submit
Fill out the new product form and set the type as Non-Inventory, then click the submit button.
Notes :
A non-inventory is a product type that doesn't have quantities on it.
Step 3. Open Product Detail
Search the product on the products menu, then open the product detail by clicking on the variant name.
Step 4. Click Edit
Step 5. Setting Sell Price Type
Go to the advance tab, set the selling price type to "Do Not Require Authorization and Sync Cost", then click the submit button.
Notes :
This function will sync your shipping price with the cost. So whenever you set your shipping price in the sell menu, the cost will automatically same as the price and it will not affect the reports.
This function will allow cashiers to edit product prices (if this feature is activated) without being granted access rights to edit product prices.
II. Use Shipping Products When Selling

If you just want to record the delivery service without needing to input the nominal value/shipping cost, then you can use the feature Logistics Services.
