Vehicle's Distance-Based Delivery Rates
Base Price Buy
Set a base cost to establish the minimum internal cost for the delivery. This amount is not visible to customers.
Base Price Sell
Set a base price to ensure the customer pays a base amount per order, regardless of the calculated delivery fee. For example, if a calculation yields $6 but the base price is set to $10, the customer pays $10 for that booking.
Base Compare-at Price
Set a previous base price to show customers the original cost before applying a discount or updated pricing. This serves as a reference to highlight savings. For example, if the base compare-at price is set to $15 and the base price sell is $10, customers will see the $15 price crossed out, emphasizing the discounted $10 base selling price.

Cost Price
The internal cost incurred for the delivery (not visible to customers).
