Delivery surcharges by day

Updated 23 July 2026

Charge more for premium days — the classic is Saturday delivery at +£5 — without creating a whole separate rate.

Available on the Organised plan and above.

Set it up

  1. Open Shipping settings and find Delivery surcharges.
  2. Add a surcharge: choose the day(s) it applies to, the surcharge amount, and the surcharge type.
  3. Click Save.

How shoppers experience it

  • The calendar marks surcharged days with a +£n badge, and the running total updates when such a day is selected — no surprises at payment.
  • On cart/product page setups, the surcharge is added to the cart as a line alongside the products; on zone-based checkouts it's reflected in the shipping price.

Tips

  • Use surcharges for day premiums; use rate tiers for cart-based pricing. They combine cleanly.
  • Peak-day capacity problems are usually better solved with an order limit than a price — or both.
