Vrio is integrated with 20+ payment providers and digital wallets.

Shipping & Delivery

Shipping logic enables you to apply accurate shipping fees, configure various carriers, impose restrictions on product destinations, and determine the appropriate fulfillment center responsible for handling the shipment.

A pre-established Free Shipping profile is automatically generated in your organization.

Selling physical products?

If you have complex shipping requirements, please contact [email protected] to discuss custom shipping options.

Taxes

It is advisable to incorporate a Tax Connection, which enables a third party to automatically calculate the appropriate tax collection amount.

An alternative option would be to integrate a Tax Profile from within Vrio, where tax rates can be entered on a state-by-state basis.

Returns

If you are selling a physical product that has a return window, using the Return Profile will allow for rules and logic to apply to any returned product.

Customer Communication

Vrio has pre-loaded Responder templates. You can customize the content and design of your notifications.

Customized Communication

Customer Communication can be launched utilizing the pre-loaded responders within the Campaign, or it can be tailored down to the customer's renewal cycle.
