# DELIVERY

The delivery function allows you to define and calculate the delivery price per country and postcode for your customers.

### Preliminary overview of the delivery function.

In order for OIDO to take care of the administrative work for you, the following definitions must be made once:

[Manufacturing time of the product](https://oido.gitbook.io/hilfe/produktkatalog/produkte#produktionszeit)

[Product weight](https://oido.gitbook.io/hilfe/produktkatalog/produkte#produktgewicht)

[Shipping time](https://oido.gitbook.io/hilfe/lieferung/zonen-und-tarife#durchschnittliche-lieferzeit)

[Price for postage and packaging](https://oido.gitbook.io/hilfe/lieferung/zonen-und-tarife#versandkostentabelle)

{% hint style="info" %}
The shipping costs include the preset standard VAT rate. Always define [a reduced VAT](https://oido.gitbook.io/hilfe/einstellungen/allgemein#mwst.-and-steuern) as an additional rate.
{% endhint %}

#### With this information, OIDO can take over the management of the delivery:

* Your customer enters the delivery address when placing the order.
* OIDO calculates the weight of the shipment from the total product weights of this order.
* OIDO selects the transport option based on the delivery address and your definitions.
* OIDO adds the delivery costs for the shipment to the customer's order.
