Delivery
The FWFM Delivery plugin adds delivery zone management and cost calculation to your food menu's checkout flow. Once active, customers see a delivery address field and zone selector at checkout, and the appropriate delivery fee is automatically applied to their order total.
What It Adds
- Delivery zones — define named zones (e.g. "City Centre", "Zone A") each with its own flat delivery fee and minimum order amount.
- Distance-based pricing — optionally calculate the delivery zone automatically using Google Maps, based on the customer's address distance from your restaurant.
- Room service mode — add a flat fee, a percentage charge, or both for in-room or table service orders at hotels and venues.
- Checkout integration — a delivery address field, zone selector, and delivery cost line are injected into the cart checkout form.
Use Cases
- Charge different fees for different neighbourhoods or postal areas.
- Set a higher minimum order for distant delivery zones.
- Automatically detect a customer's zone from their address using Google Maps.
- Add a room service surcharge for hotel or venue in-room ordering.
Delivery Settings
When the plugin is active, a Delivery tab appears in FW Food Menu → Settings. The following options are available:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Delivery zones | Define one or more named zones, each with a delivery cost, minimum order amount, and maximum distance. |
| Distance calculation | Choose between manual zone selection by the customer, or automatic zone detection based on Google Maps distance. |
| Google Maps API key | Required for automatic distance-based calculation. Must have the Distance Matrix API enabled. Shared with the General settings tab. |
| Restaurant coordinates | Set your restaurant's location as the origin point for distance calculations. |
Delivery Zone Fields
Each zone you define includes the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Zone name | The name shown to customers (e.g. "City Centre"). |
| Delivery cost | Flat fee charged for orders to this zone. |
| Minimum order | Minimum cart total required before delivery to this zone is available. |
| Max distance (km) | Upper distance limit for this zone, used in automatic distance mode. |
Room Service
The plugin also supports a Room Service mode for hotels and venues. When a customer selects room service at checkout, an additional charge can be applied:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Room service fixed fee | A flat charge added to every room service order. |
| Room service percentage | A percentage of the cart total added as a room service charge. |
Both fields can be used together. If neither is set, room service is available at no extra charge.
Notes
- The Cart plugin must be active — delivery options are injected into the cart checkout flow.
- If the Tables plugin is also active, customers choose between Delivery and Dine In at checkout.
- Automatic distance mode requires a valid Google Maps API key with the Distance Matrix API enabled.
