Common questions

How do I organize local deliveries for my own orders without drivers criss-crossing town?

Group orders into delivery zones and batches, then assign each batch to a driver so they run one area at a time. In Pludor, open Deliveries in the Core Commerce menu, filter by zone and date, assign orders or batches to a bearer, and update status as runs complete.

What is Pludor Local Deliveries (Zones, Batches & Drivers)?

It's a delivery management tool that filters orders by status, method, pickup type, zone, batch, driver (bearer) and date, and updates delivery status as drivers complete runs. It's built for restaurants, grocers, bakeries and stores delivering locally.

How much does Pludor's local delivery feature cost?

It's on for every store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Each month a free amount of everything is included; past that you pay only for what you use in credits (1 credit = 1 cent), and new stores get 500 free credits. Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout.

How do I assign a driver to an order?

Open Deliveries in the Core Commerce menu, filter to the zone and date you're planning, then assign each order or batch to a bearer (driver). After the run, mark orders out for delivery and then delivered.

How do I keep track of which orders each driver completed?

Filter the deliveries view by driver to review their runs, and check status updates as they complete them. In Pludor's Deliveries screen you can filter by driver (bearer), status and date to see exactly what each driver did.

How do I work out what to charge for delivery?

Add up the distance and the costs of the trip (fuel, driver time) and set a price that covers each run with a margin. Pludor has a free Delivery Fee Calculator - enter distance and costs and it works out a delivery price instantly, no account needed.

How do I pack and pick orders before sending them out for delivery?

Use an aggregated pick list of everything to pack today, plus a per-order breakdown for packing. In Pludor, open Pack List in the Operations menu, filter by status, zone, batch and date range, pick from the aggregated list, pack per order, and print it for the packing table.

Can I use a courier instead of my own drivers for local deliveries?

Yes. Go to pludor.com/wayfare, choose Parcel, enter pickup and drop-off addresses with an item description, then review offers from nearby couriers and track the delivery from your account. If you have your own drivers, use Deliveries in the Core Commerce menu instead.

How do I set up shipping zones and rates alongside local delivery?

Set up your shipping zones and rates (or enable pickup) in your store's shipping settings. In Pludor, open Orders in the Core Commerce menu, configure Shipping, then move each order through packed, shipped/out for delivery and delivered - the buyer is notified at each step, and Exports handles accounting or bulk reporting.

Is Pludor's delivery feature safe to start with for a small shop?

Yes - the store is free to create with no card needed and no item limit, and the delivery feature is on for every store including the Free plan. Your store, checkout and orders never switch off for lack of credit, so you can try it without risk.
