Delivery methods¶
In Odoo, delivery methods make it possible to calculate shipping costs directly on sales orders and e-commerce carts, providing customers and sales teams with accurate shipping fee information. This transparency helps close sales by showing customers the exact cost for each shipping carrier or delivery timeframe.
When activated in Odoo, the Delivery Methods setting adds the option of calculating the cost of shipping on sales orders and e-commerce shopping carts.
When integrated with a third-party carrier, shipping prices are calculated based on the carrier's pricing information.
Cấu hình¶
To calculate shipping on sales orders and e-commerce, the Delivery Costs module must be installed. To do so, navigate to the application from the main Odoo dashboard.
Then, remove the Apps filter, and type in Delivery Costs in the search bar. After
finding the Delivery Costs module, click Install to install it.

Some connected shipping methods require obtaining rates from the carrier. In this situation, click the Get rate button, and the shipping costs are automatically updated from the carrier. These rates cannot be modified.
The shipping cost is added as a line item in the Order Lines tab as the Delivery Product detailed on the shipping method form.

A customer purchased a left-sided desk with storage and requested the item be delivered by hand.
This delivery method is defined as Furniture Delivery (Manual) and has a cost of $200. The
sales order contains two line items: one for the desk, and another for the delivery method.

The shipping method added to the sales order is linked to the shipping carrier details on the delivery order. After confirming the order, a Delivery smart button appears at the top of the page. Click the Delivery smart button to open the warehouse delivery form. To add or change the delivery method on the delivery itself, open the Additional Info tab and modify the Carrier field.
