Region Freight (Pronto)

Overview

Region Freight allows your business to charge freight based on regions or customer sub-groups defined against the Debtor Account. The difference between “standard freight” and “region freight” is that you can nominate the region a customer belongs to and charge accordingly, instead of linking charges to a postcode range.

For example, you might have a group of debtors (from the same parent company) with whom you have agreed to a particular freight arrangement, regardless of their postcode. All of these debtors can have the same region defined using Region Freight.

Allows you to charge freight based on customer sub-groups defined in your ERP.

Region Freight is not compatible with Standard Freight – if Region Freight is turned on, and Standard Freight is defined, Region Freight charges will be removed at the order conclusion page (unless templated checkout is in use or the 'Calculate Freight on B2B Order Conclusion' flag is disabled.
