# Configure delivery methods

> Set up which courier brands, pickup offices, and home delivery options buyers see in the popup.

After the embed is on, the popup shows each buyer a list of delivery options based on **where they're shipping to** and **which Shopify shipping zones** cover their country. This page walks you through the minimum setup.

<Note>
  **Two concepts that look the same but aren't:**

  * A **delivery method** is what the buyer sees in the popup (e.g. "Speedy office pickup"). It carries a courier brand logo and a price — no API connection needed.
  * A **courier account** is a connection to a courier's API (on the **Couriers** tab) that lets Sendway create shipping labels for you at send time.

  You can run the popup with zero courier accounts connected — buyers still see the brands and prices; you'd just create labels in the courier's own portal yourself.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Make sure Shopify has shipping zones">
    In Shopify admin go to **Settings → Shipping and delivery**. Confirm every country you sell to is in a shipping zone with at least one rate — the popup pulls live prices from these rates.

    <Warning>
      If a country has no Shopify shipping rate, buyers from that country see no delivery options in the popup.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Checkout settings → Delivery methods">
    In Sendway open **Checkout settings**. The **Delivery methods** tab lists every country from your shipping zones and every courier brand that operates there. Switch the brands you want **on** for each country.

    Drag rows to reorder them — the order is what buyers see in the popup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a brand to fine-tune (optional)">
    Click any country × brand row to open its editor. From there you can enable or disable each way of delivering independently:

    <Columns cols={2}>
      <Card title="Office pickup" icon="building">
        Buyers search for a walk-in courier office by city, street, or postal code and pick from the list.
      </Card>

      <Card title="Locker / automat" icon="cube">
        Buyers pick a self-service parcel locker. Locker-only brands (BoxNow, InPost) and locker networks of mixed brands (Speedy, Econt, Sameday) show as a separate "automat" option.
      </Card>

      <Card title="Home address" icon="house">
        Buyers fill in a street address. Available for brands that deliver to addresses.
      </Card>

      <Card title="Local delivery" icon="bicycle">
        Your own in-house delivery — no courier brand attached, you set the label and price.
      </Card>
    </Columns>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a courier account (optional, any plan)">
    On the **Couriers** tab of Checkout settings you can connect Speedy, Econt, BoxNow, Sameday, Pigeon Express, or EuShipments so Sendway creates shipping labels for you automatically. [See Couriers →](/shipping/couriers)
