Auto Delivery Rules allow users to set up subscription-based purchases for specific products, enabling your customers to receive regular deliveries automatically. These rules can be configured either at the store level or the product level, and may include discounts based on the frequency of delivery.
Users do not need to configure Auto-Delivery settings on each individual product. Instead, the system allows you to define global default rules that automatically determine which products qualify.
How It Works
Users configure Auto-Delivery at the category or attribute level (instead of the product level). When new products are added, they automatically inherit these rules - saving time and ensuring consistency.
Example: Attribute Inclusion With Attribute Exclusion
You may choose to include an entire category or attribute in Auto-Delivery, such as:
•All Napkins
Then, if certain items within those categories/attributes should not be eligible, you simply add an exclusion so 'cloth' napkins are excluded:
Resulting Behavior
With these rules in place:
•All napkins → Auto-Delivery enabled
•Cloth napkins → Auto-Delivery disabled (because they match an exclusion)
In Other Words
You only define Auto-Delivery rules once at the category/attribute level.
The system automatically handles every product under those rules - no individual setup is required.
This ensures that all napkins will be available for Auto-Delivery except the cloth ones, and the same logic applies to any other categories or product attributes you configure.

Setting Up Auto Delivery Rules at the Product Level
Navigate to Product Masterfile Maintenance > eStore Settings Tab, this will display all the current auto delivery rules if applicable for the selected product.
1.Select Auto Delivery Option: •If Enable Auto Delivery is set to System Default Rules, the product will follow the system default auto delivery rules configured in eStore Settings Maintenance. •If you want to enable or disable auto delivery for this specific product: •Yes: Will enable auto delivery for the selected product. •No: Will disable auto delivery for the selected product.
2.Configure Delivery Frequencies and Discounts: The available frequencies for auto delivery will be displayed here. •Frequency Enabled: Tick the box to enable a specific frequency (e.g. Every Day, Every Week, Every 4 Weeks). •Discount %: Set the applicable discount for each enabled frequency.
Click Update to save any changes made to the auto delivery setup for the selected product.
Note: If Auto-Delivery is configured at the product level, this overrides all system default rules for that product. This allows users to make exceptions for specific products when needed, such as forcing Auto-Delivery on or off for a single item, regardless of the broader system based rules |
