# Deliveries

This is the central unit within Shippify. It consists of a set of two points, one for pickup and the other for delivery, where the associated packages must be transported.

## Components

A task has three essential components:&#x20;

* **Pickup Data:** It consists of two parts, contact information and a location. This information is visible to the driver when picking up the packages.&#x20;
* **Delivery Data:** It consists of two parts, contact information and location. This information is visible to the driver at the time of package delivery.&#x20;
* **Packages:** Contains information about the item(s) to be transported in a task.&#x20;

In addition to these, you can add more relevant information:&#x20;

* **Digital Labels:** Here you can add as many as you want, they are words that describe your delivery, for example "fragile".
* &#x20;**Reference Identifier:** It is the identifier of your order in the external system you use.&#x20;
* **Extra Data:** Here you can store additional information you need, such as invoice number, transport guide number, customer code, etc.&#x20;
* **COD:** Cash on Delivery value.

## Types of deliveries and scheduling hours

There are 3 types of deliveries that you can create, depending on which you will have different prices and pickup and delivery schedules.

### Flex <a href="#flex" id="flex"></a>

This type of rate divides the day into two parts by a deadline hour:

* When a delivery is created before the deadline hour.&#x20;
* When a delivery is created after the deadline hour.&#x20;

For both cases, different configurations can be made regarding the day and time when the delivery will be scheduled, the most popular ones are:

#### **Flex same day**

* When a delivery is created before the deadline hour, it is scheduled for the same day.&#x20;
* When a delivery is created after the deadline hour, it is scheduled for the next business day.

#### **Flex next day**

* When a delivery is created before the deadline hour, it is scheduled for the next business day.
* When a delivery is created after the deadline hour, it is scheduled for two business days later.

### Express <a href="#express" id="express"></a>

This type of rate sets the earliest possible collection time, and only that time can be chosen.

### Regular <a href="#regular" id="regular"></a>

This type of rate provides the user with several time windows from which they can choose one to create their delivery. Alternatively, the user can select a specific date/time for delivery.
