Delivery zones: pricing by distance
Set a free radius, a per-mile rate, and an out-of-area limit — Rennt turns them into automatic zone pricing for every checkout.
Plan: All plansWho: Everyone
Your delivery zones in Rennt are distance rings around your base address, and you define them in Settings under Delivery pricing: free within your free radius, priced by distance beyond it, and "out of area" past your maximum radius. Once saved, every storefront checkout and every quote prices delivery automatically — no more guessing a fee on the phone.
The pieces#
- Your base address — where trucks actually leave from. Rennt geocodes it once and measures each delivery's distance from there.
- Base fee — the flat amount any delivery starts at ($25 is a common start).
- Per mile — added for each mile from your base ($2/mile is typical).
- Per item — optional; adds per item for big orders that take real loading time.
- Minimum fee — the floor, so short runs still cover the truck.
- Free radius — deliver free within this distance. Great for dominating your own town.
- Max radius — beyond this, checkout says you are out of area instead of quoting a fee. This is your "no, we don't drive two hours" setting.
The fee works out as: the larger of your minimum fee, or base fee + per-mile x miles + per-item x items. Press Save delivery pricing when done.
Getting it right#
- Check the note under the address field: it should say coordinates are set. Without coordinates Rennt cannot measure distance and quotes fall back to your flat base fee.
- Price honestly: a 30-mile run is an hour of truck, fuel and labor each way. If the math on your longest deliveries feels painful, raise per-mile or pull in the max radius.
- Setup fees are separate on purpose — they come from each product's setup fee in Inventory, so a tent adds setup cost and a stack of chairs does not.
