There are three — **pickup**, **delivery** and **shipping** —\nand you can offer any combination.\n\nA new store shows a red banner until you set one up. Open **Settings**, then\n**Online Store**.\n\n## Pickup\n\nClick **Enable Pickup**.\n\n**Auto Market Locations** is on to start with, which keeps your pickup times in\nstep with the markets you are booked at. Two settings control the ordering\nwindow around each one:\n\n- **Auto Market Days Out** — how far ahead customers can order. It starts at\n  14 days. Set it to 5 and, for a Saturday 9am market, ordering opens the\n  Monday at 9am.\n- **Auto Market Time Window** — how long before the market you stop taking\n  orders, so you have time to pack. Set it to 15 and ordering closes at 6pm the\n  night before a 9am market.\n\nYou can charge for pickup. Choose a flat rate or a percentage under **Cost\nCalculation**, then set the amount. Turn on free pickup to waive it over a\ncertain order value.\n\n### Your own pickup places\n\nYou do not have to be at a market to offer pickup. Click **Locations**, then\n**Create**:\n\n1. Name it, so customers recognize it.\n2. Add the address.\n3. Add a note — this is where collection instructions go.\n4. Use **Enabled** to switch it on and off.\n5. Set **Automatic deactivation** to close ordering at a set time, handy if you\n   change what you sell each week.\n6. Add at least one day, with a start and end time. Click **Add Weekday** for\n   more.\n7. Click **Save**.\n\n## Delivery\n\nThis is delivery you do yourself. Click **Enable Delivery**.\n\nChoose how you charge under **Cost Calculation** — **Flat Rate**, **Per Mile**\nor **Percentage** — then set the amount. Per mile is worked out for you. You\ncan offer free delivery above an order value.\n\nYou also need a starting point, which customers never see. It is what distances\nare measured from. Click **Starting Points**, then **Create**, and give it a\nname, an address and how far you are willing to travel. One is enough for\nalmost everybody.\n\n## Shipping\n\nClick **Enable Shipping**. Set a flat rate and pick the delivery estimate\ncustomers see at checkout. Free shipping over an order value is optional.\n\n!!! note \"Products have to be marked shippable\"\n    When you save, you are offered **Bulk Mark Shippable**, which turns it on\n    for everything at once. Otherwise you set it product by product, and\n    anything not marked will not ship.\n\n## Make it look like yours\n\nClick **View Storefront** in the top toolbar to see what customers see. Search\nand category filters are built for you, and there is no Marketspread branding\nanywhere on it.\n\nTwo things you can change:\n\n- **Your web address.** Click **Modify** beside it to set your own store name\n  and pick from seven endings.\n- **Your colors.** Override the default theme with your own.\n\nClick **Save** when you are done."}
