If you have any questions, please contact [our Support team](\\\\{u\\>https://supporticket.vtex.com/support\\<u\\\\}).\n\n**Delivery Options** is a page in the VTEX Admin that allows you to configure flexible and accurate delivery options during the buying journey, such as defining different types of delivery availability and geographic zones, and controlling how and when these options are displayed to the customer.\n\nThis gives merchants autonomy to create, configure, and manage delivery options as strategic content on the VTEX platform. This approach provides more flexibility to align logistical capabilities with business objectives, enhancing customers' shopping experience.\n\nThe delivery options use the information already registered in the store [shipping policies](https://help.vtex.com/docs/tutorials/shipping-policy). If you don't have these settings defined or none of them meet the delivery targets for the shipping options, read the article [Creating a shipping policy](https://help.vtex.com/en/docs/tutorials/creating-a-shipping-policy).\n\nThe Delivery Options page allows you to:\n\n- [Creating delivery options](#creating-delivery-options)\n- [Editing delivery options](#editing-delivery-options)\n- [Deactivating delivery options](#deactivating-delivery-options)\n- [Activating delivery options](#activating-delivery-options)\n- [Deleting delivery options](#deleting-delivery-options)\n- [Searching for delivery options](#searching-for-delivery-options)\n- [Filtering delivery options](#filtering-delivery-options)\n- [Setting delivery option preferences](#setting-delivery-option-preferences)\n\n![delivery-options-pt](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/tutorials/beta/shipping-beta/delivery-options-beta_1.png)\n\nThe page displays the following information in a table:\n\n| Columns         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |\n| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Name            | Name that identifies the delivery option displayed on the storefront.                                                                                                                                                                                         |\n| Delivery target | Time frame for the estimated delivery option.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |\n| Delivery zone   | Locations where the delivery option will be available.                                                                                                                                                                                                        |\n| Status          | Delivery option status, which can be:<br /><ul><li>Active: The delivery option is available for the customer.</li><li>Inactive</li>: The delivery option isn't available for the customer.</ul> |\n\n## Creating delivery options\n\nTo create a delivery option, follow the steps below:\n\n1.
