How to add a fixed shipping fee regardless of the order amount or delivery zones?

"How can I add shipping cost and pounds"- Google Docs Editors Community

If you charge one delivery fee on every order, a Google Form gives you nowhere to put it: it has no total to add the fee to. So you add it yourself once the order arrives and send the customer the final amount separately, and some don't see what they owe until you message them. With Neartail, you add a Delivery Fee with a fixed amount to your Google Form. The customer sees the order amount, the fee and the amount to pay on the form before they order, and the order reaches you with the fee already added.

Let's start. Create your order form and follow the steps below.

  • On the page that opens, click Enter your form name, type your form's name and click Generate.
  • Check the outline it suggests and click Proceed. Your form opens on the Edit tab.

Summary

A Google Form can't add a delivery fee, because it doesn't add up the order. With Neartail, you add a Delivery Fee with a fixed amount and a Net Amount, and your customers see the fee and the total to pay before they place the order. Create your order form and complete the steps above. If you have any questions, write to support.
