# Delivery Surcharges

Delivery surcharges allow venues to apply additional fees to certain delivery areas within their defined delivery zones. These can be set based on distance or by drawing surcharge areas within the main delivery area.

{% hint style="info" %}
When a customer enters their delivery address, the system automatically calculates the correct delivery charge. The surcharge is **included** in the delivery fee shown. Customers **do not** see a separate surcharge line.
{% endhint %}

## Surcharge Areas

Surcharge areas are custom-shaped areas within the defined delivery area. Multiple surcharge zones can be created, each with an additional fee. If a delivery address falls within multiple surcharge zones, the lowest applicable surcharge is applied.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the surcharge zone is outside of the main delivery area it will not be possible to place a delivery. All zones must be inside of the main zone.
{% endhint %}

## **Distance-Based Surcharges**

Charges can be calculated based on straight-line distance from the venue to the delivery address. It can be set for specific distance ranges (in meters).

> **For example:**
>
> 0-2,000m — €0 extra
>
> 2,001-4,000m — €2 extra

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bossithq.com/delivery-areas/delivery-surcharges.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
