Does this include delivery fees?

Yes. Each strategy total includes delivery charges unless that retailer’s free-shipping threshold is met.

What is the baseline cost?

Baseline is the cheapest valid single-store checkout for your current basket and pricing inputs.

Why can a split be more expensive than one store?

Additional deliveries can outweigh item-level price savings when thresholds are not met.

How many strategies are shown?

The tool returns the top strategies by total cost, with labels for Best Value and Simplest when applicable.

Can I model different basket sizes?

Yes. Update quantities or add/remove items and rerun to see how the optimal split changes.
