##### This article will explain how to configure Express Delivery and activate Dynamic Inventory Menus in Tymber Mission Control.

 

**Express Delivery **allows for an "ice cream truck" style of product delivery,  
with different **dynamic menu inventories** being available by delivery address regions. These **Regions and Inventories** must be configured in the **Point of Sale** first.

Customers are able to purchase from specific **Express Delivery inventories**, which are loaded into vehicles servicing specific regions based on zip codes (postal codes in Canada).

If you are using Blaze POS, **[see this article on Region setup](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/1500006152681-Retail-Creating-and-Using-Regions)** in Blaze POS.

**Important things to note if using Blaze POS:**

- **All inventories** must be enabled in Settings > Shop Settings > Online Store .
- Region zip codes (postal codes in Canada) you set up in Blaze POS **should not overlap** (exist in more than one region) because if you do that, customers will see the aggregate inventory from multiple inventories when you only want them to see one.
- Zip codes (postal codes Canada) configured in **Online Store settings Area Restrictions** define where you deliver to period, for Scheduled and Express. 
    - If a zip code (Canadian Postal Code) is not assigned to a specific inventory by Region, but is listed in **Online Store settings Area Restrictions**, customers will be forced to order under Scheduled Delivery ONLY.
    - If a zip code (Canadian Postal Code) is assigned to a specific inventory by region AND in Area Restrictions, customers will be able to order either Scheduled or Express.
    - Use the Regions assigned to Inventories to configure zip codes (Canadian Postal Codes) where Express deliveries are accepted.
- If you have a zip code (Canadian Postal Code) assigned by Region to more than one inventory, the menu will show the aggregate of the assigned inventories. 
    - This can cause an issue if a customer orders one product from the safe and one from a car kit, on the same order for Express.

1. When configured, customers will be able to select **Express** or **Scheduled** delivery.  
     - **Express** is best described as an "ice cream truck" style delivery, versus **Scheduled** which will be the standard "pizza" style delivery.
     - **Ice cream truck**: A delivery vehicle that is pre-loaded with inventory and services a specific area throughout the day.
     - **Pizza**: Orders are placed, packaged at the warehouse and sent out one delivery route at a time.

2. When a customer enters a delivery address that is serviced by an **Express Delivery** vehicle, the store will indicate how many products are available for **Express Delivery**. Once the customer clicks **Shop Now**, the menu will automatically change to show the specific inventory that is available in that vehicle. ![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-10-02-31-30-PM.png)
3. If a customer selects **Express** and enters a delivery address in a region that is not serviced, they will receive an error message and be prompted to try another address or schedule a delivery.![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-11-35-09-25-PM.png)
4. If a customer selects an **Express Delivery** inventory product and begins the checkout process, **Express Delivery** will be displayed as the delivery method. The vehicle servicing that region will then proceed to their delivery address once the order is placed. ![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-10-11-14-36-PM.png)
5. To setup **Delivery** and **Pickup** inventories in **Tymber Mission Control**, login at **[admin.tymber.io](https://admin.tymber.io/)**, and click on the **Inventories Tab**.![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-09-50-52-20-PM.png)
6. **Safe** indicates the inventory that is available for purchase in your warehouse or main hub for scheduled delivery or pickup. 
     - **Express Zip Codes (Canadian Postal Codes)** should **NOT** be assigned to the **Safe** inventory unless you want to display your full **Safe** inventory on the express menu.
     - **Scheduled** **Delivery** and **Pickup** must be toggled to **Available** for products in the Safe inventory to be available in the store.
     - **Is Active** must be toggled to **Active** for products in the Safe inventory to be available in the store.
     - **Valid for Sale** indicates the number of products that have met the [**Valid for Sale Reasons**](https://help.tymber.io/understanding-the-valid-for-sale-reasons).
   ![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-10-34-51-09-PM.png)
7. **Inventory/Car/Kit 1-4** indicates the inventory that is available for **Express Delivery **purchase and is loaded into **Express Delivery** vehicles.  
     - **Express Zip Codes** (Canadian Postal Codes) displays the zip codes that the specific Express inventory is available for delivery within. These are configured in the **POS**.
     - **Scheduled** **Delivery** and **Pickup** must be toggled to **Unavailable**.
     - **Is Active** must be toggled to **Active** for each **Express Delivery Inventory/Kit** to be available in the store. You can also set an [**Express Delivery Schedule**](https://help.tymber.io/express-delivery-order-schedule-settings). You can also manually toggle to **Inactive **if a driver cannot work that schedule in a specific region that day.
     - **Valid for Sale** indicates the number of products in that **Inventory/Kit** that have met the [**Valid for Sale Reasons**](https://help.tymber.io/understanding-the-valid-for-sale-reasons).
   ![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-11-01-11-43-PM.png)
8. When an **Express Inventory/Kit** is toggled to **Inactive** or the customer is outside of the **Express Delivery** schedule, products will not be available for **Express**.![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-11-31-13-57-PM.png)
9. Clicking into the **Inventory/Kit** allows you to see a detailed view of the inventory.![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8611548/image-png-Mar-15-2021-11-28-01-40-PM.png)
