Logistics: edition 1.0. Product weight, tariffs and automatic delivery calculation.

Its been already 2 weeks since the logistics section was launched on FLOGmall. During this time mistakes and bugs have been corrected, and now were glad to present this update to our dear users.
The section includes the subsections "My Templates" and "Create a Template".
Now each shop on the platform can specify regions, to which delivery of their goods is carried out ( all regions will be indicated in a template by default), and also exclude from the list countries in the specified region, to which delivery is not carried out (for example: delivery to Europe, except for Monaco).

Creating a template, a seller specifies its name (for example: "Delivery for Europe", "Delivery for North America"), name of the delivery service (ChinaPost, DHL and so on), delivery price for a kilogram of product (for example: 1 kg of product - 200 rubles) and time of delivery.
The created template can be duplicated on all regions by the button Apply to all.

In a card of each product there is a new category Weight, which is set obligatorily by a seller while creating a new item. You can also fill this category for the goods created earlier.

Buyers can find a new section - "Delivery". For the authorized users a country, specified by them at registration in a private account, is established by default.

Ordering goods, for which a seller has already established tariffs, user can independently choose a country/mean of delivery and see a total amount of the order with delivery, and also the number of days, which it will take.

Shortly, for not authorized users the program automatically will be able to determine location of buyers by the IP address and to offer delivery options to their country. If delivery to the region is not available, user can contact the seller and specify this information.

Thus, delivery to your country and its cost are calculated automatically. Buyers dont need to contact the seller personally to find out mentioned options anymore.

We remind you, that it is the first edition of logistics. Further, calculators of the most popular delivery services will be integrated on the platform (Chinapost, SDEK, etc.) to improve quality of service for our users. Thanks to these calculators, there will be an opportunity to determine the exact cost of delivery by a particular service directly.

Logistics launch is another step to full automation of shops on FLOGmall.

Also, our users will see global updating of design and conversion to beta-version of the website. Due to the mentioned conversion, interface of a seller and buyer remains without changes for a while (we understand, that it needs improvement, but at this stage such work will be senseless, since it will be changed in the beta of the website all together)

Stay tuned to see the latest news!

Sincerely yours,

FLOGmall.com

it is great that the logistics section has appeared. And if the seller does not have a negotiated delivery option, or he does not want to get in touch with him, there will be a dash ?. And how the goods are returned, because the price is very volatile, or it is a non-return purchase.
