Here's a more concise and readable explanation of how the concept works:
Concept Overview:
- Customer Purchase: A customer makes a purchase from one of the 5 connected merchants at 1 pm. They choose the "Box Delivery" option with an approved carrier.
- Second Customer: At 1:15 pm on the same day, another customer from the same zip code (112 46) shops at one of the connected merchants. Since they share the same zip code, the carrier for this area is automatically preselected in Ingrid's delivery checkout. The price remains the same, and the transaction is completed and logged by Ingrid.
- Monthly Count: At the end of the month, Ingrid tallies the total number of orders that were pre-selected due to shared zip codes. Let's say it's 1000 orders.
- Carrier Payment: Ingrid invoices the carrier for the total number of pre-selected orders, which in this case would be 1000 * 12.50 kr = 12,500 kr.
- Merchant Notification: Ingrid informs the connected merchants about the number of pre-selected orders that occurred on their respective websites and instructs them on how to invoice Ingrid.
This process helps streamline carrier selection and billing based on shared zip codes, providing convenience for both customers and merchants.
