Category Restrictions

Delivery methods can be restricted to specific product categories. This is useful when certain products require specific delivery types (e.g., food items via motorcycle, large electronics via car).

How it works:

  • Categories can specify which delivery methods are allowed for their products
  • When customers add products to cart, only compatible delivery methods are shown
  • If products from incompatible categories are in the cart, checkout is blocked

Configuration:

Category-level delivery restrictions are configured in the Categories settings, not in the delivery method itself.

Example:

  • "Fast Food" category allows only "Motor" delivery
  • "Electronics" category allows only "Car" delivery
  • Customer ordering from both categories sees an error: no common delivery method available
  • Categories - Set delivery method restrictions per category
  • Delivery Targets - Set costs per delivery method and area
  • Orders - Orders assigned to delivery methods
  • Locations - Delivery areas and neighborhoods
