Delivery Options On A Listing

Octopia prices delivery per offer. Each listing therefore carries its own delivery modes, chosen from the fixed set Octopia publishes.

Octopia’s Delivery Modes

Octopia publishes a fixed set of delivery modes and a seller cannot invent one. The connector creates the modes the Cdiscount seller portal offers when you confirm the instance, and lists them at Marketplaces ‣ Octopia ‣ Configuration ‣ Delivery Modes.

Pickup point

  • The list is fixed. Modes cannot be created or deleted, archive a mode you do not sell with.

  • Which modes you may actually use depends on your Octopia activity and subscriptions, and the prices are your own contract. The modes are therefore created without a price, set the costs on each listing.

  • Confirming the instance again never overwrites modes you already have.

The Delivery Tab

Delivery tab of a listing

Open a listing and go to its Delivery tab. Each line has:

  • Delivery Mode: One of the delivery modes of the instance.

  • Code and Parcel Type: Filled in from the mode.

  • Shipping Cost: What the customer is charged to have the first unit delivered.

  • Additional Unit Cost: Added for each extra unit of the same offer in one order.

Also set the Preparation Time of the listing, in working days. It cannot exceed 5 days, and the instance value is used when the listing has none.

Imported Lines

  • Delivery modes are mirrored from the offer when a listing is imported. Octopia reports its own legacy names, such as Tracked or MondialRelay, and the connector maps each one to its code.

  • A name that is not in Octopia’s published list is stored without a code and logged.

  • A line read from Octopia that Octopia stops reporting is removed on the next import. A line you added yourself is never removed by an import.

Rules

  • A mode can appear only once on a listing.

  • All modes on one listing must have the same parcel type. Octopia refuses an offer that mixes classic and large parcel modes.

  • Costs cannot be negative.

  • Tracked Home Delivery is added to the offer from the delivery modes of the instance when it is not already on the listing.
