Element DELIVERY#
Basic information#
The DELIVERY element is just a wrapper for:
DELIVERY_ID(carrier identifier),DELIVERY_PRICE(shipping cost for prepayment) andDELIVERY_PRICE_COD(shipping cost for cash on delivery, COD = Cash On Delivery).
These elements specify the shipping cost for the product, including VAT. For each available delivery method, one DELIVERY block will appear in the feed.
The DELIVERY_ID and DELIVERY_PRICE sub-elements are required.
The DELIVERY_PRICE_COD sub-element is optional and can be omitted if the product cannot be delivered by a given carrier on cash on delivery terms.
Heureka only allows specific carriers to be listed in the feed. You will find the list in the specification:

- How do I set shipping costs based on product weight?
- First, on the Products page, create queries to segment the feed by weight — for example, queries for weight ranges 0–5 kg, 5–10 kg, 10–15 kg, and so on. Then add a separate Set shipping rates rule for each query and set specific amounts for each carrier in those rules for the given weight range.
