# Preliminary Shipping Cost Calculation

To make it easier to sell physical products with Tribute, we have added a preliminary shipping cost calculation feature in the bot.

### How it works:

#### Before the order:

1. Go to Physical products – Delivery Settings.

#### During the order:

7. **Collect customer data:** Have the customer enter the delivery address and choose the method of receiving the product (courier or pickup point).

8. **Calculate the cost:** Calculate the total cost (product + shipping) and add it to the customer's invoice.

9. **Process the payment:** After the customer pays for the order, receive a notification about the order.

#### After the order:

10. **Organize product delivery:** Either call a courier yourself or go to the pickup point, providing the address given by the customer, and pay for the delivery.

10. **Receive payment:** After 30 days (considering the return policy), receive payment from us for the product and delivery.

**Commission:** We take a commission from the total amount (product + shipping). A special offer is currently available: we are offering a reduced commission on physical products (5% instead of 10%) for 6 months for any sale made till the end of January.
