You can set up different delivery schedules and pricing for the different areas you offer delivery to.
You may need to set up different schedules and pricing if:
You deliver to different areas on different days of the week
For example, one area Monday - Wednesday, and another area Thursday - Sunday
You deliver to one area in the morning slot, and another in the afternoon slot
You would like to charge more for delivery to zip codes that are farther away
Requirements
For this method you need to create multiple locations. Check the maximum number of locations included in your plan in Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Settings > Subscription.
You need to use exact or partial postal code match delivery validation. Learn more in our Delivery validation article.
Group your zip codes by delivery slot
You need to prepare a list of zip codes for every area that you deliver to. For example:
Delivery area and location | Zip codes | Delivery date and times |
Area A - Zapiet Florist | SW1A, SW1E, SW1H | Every day of the week from 9AM to 6PM |
Area B - Zapiet Florist Palace RD | SW1P, SW1W, SW1X | Mondays from 6AM to 2PM |
Please note, each location must have its own unique set of zip codes, or it must contain its own unique set of products.
If either the products overlap or the zip codes overlap, Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery zip code matching will not work correctly and customers will not be able to see correct delivery dates and times.
Set up your first location
In Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery > Locations, click the location name you want to edit.
In the Local Delivery section, click Edit settings.
Configure the delivery days and delivery slots you would like to offer for your first group of zip codes.
Enter the group of eligible zip codes for this delivery schedule in the Distance Validation field, separated by commas.
Click Save.
Your first delivery location and delivery schedule is now set up.
Set up your second location
Click the location name you want to edit in the Locations tab. You can also duplicate the existing location, if needed.
In the Local Delivery section, click Edit settings.
Configure the delivery days and delivery slots you would like to offer for your second group of zip codes.
Enter the group of eligible zip codes for this delivery schedule in the Distance Validation field, separated by commas.
This list must not overlap with the zip codes listed in your original location unless you have a unique set of products in each location.
Click Save.
Your second delivery location is now set up.
If needed, you can add and set up more locations.
If you need more locations than your plan allows, you can create additional locations for $5/month per location.
Charge different rates for different locations
You can charge different rates for different delivery areas. For example:
Area A - Zapiet Florist | Area B - Zapiet Florist Palace RD |
Local Delivery - £4.99 | Monday Delivery - £8.99 |
Depending on the rates feature you're using, you need to set up the rates differently.

Troubleshooting
If you are having rates issues:
All physical products need to be marked as This product requires shipping in Shopify.
Make sure you're using exact or partial postal code match delivery validation. Learn more in our Delivery validation article.
Check if each location has its own unique set of zip codes, or it contains its own unique set of products.
