What are Delivery commissions?

A Delivery Commission is a fee that can be charged for the delivery of Items in a Basket/Cart. The Delivery Commission is set on the overall Basket/Cart rather than each individual item such as a commission on each Ticket. Delivery Commission can also be set at different values on each Sales Channel (Phone, Web, Counter).
