Delivery Area and Mapping

Delivery Areas

The Delivery Areas are the well-known areas that are easily recognised by end-users. The familiarity of these areas makes it easier to create as many areas as you want and map them to stock locations, from where you want to deliver the products for those areas. You must map relevant unique Pin Codes for these delivery areas, so that inventory will be directly reduced from the mapped stockblocation upon placing a valid order for location based products.

To make changes to delivery areas, you will need to:

Login to ACP
Navigate to Settings
Click on Store Information
Click on Delivery Areas

You will find a box named Search Options on the top through which you can search for any delivery area. It has three dropdowns and one text box named. The proximities we define are:

Country
City
State
Pincode

By filling in any of these, you will be able to find the delivery area you are looking for. Click on Search and all the areas will be shown in the Delivery Areas list, with their Validation Type, Mapped Poncodes and the option to edit or delete them.

Add A New Delivery Area

You can also add a new delivery location by clicking on Add Delivery Area in the bottom right corner of your screen. A new page will appear. Here, you will be able to specify a delivery location pertaining to which geographical area based on a country, state, or city options.

Name of the Delivery Area - Enter a name of the area you prefer to add.
Delivery Reference Code - The reference code is supposed to be 3-4 letters of the name of the area you've mentioned above, in order to make a link between the two. For example - If the area is Mumbai, then the code would be MUM.
Validation Type - Choose one of the three options given in the drop down, that are Country, State or a City, whichever you want to add.

After you've chosen one of the three validation types, select related options from the dropdown of Available Destination box and select the areas you want to add by shifting them to the Selected Destination box.
For example -
The Pincode box is optional and you can either type a pin code or leave it as it is. It is inclusive and if you want to specifically add one pincode, you can exclusively add one.
