Delivery Service Areas are available to those who are currently delivery enabled on Leafly. These service areas provide a dynamic and flexible way to serve your guests!

 

This article covers the following: 

 

Benefits of Delivery Service Areas

Dynamic/flexible service area creation

  • Create zones by drawing a polygon and/or by placing a radius on a map 
    • Upload GeoJSON files created previously to ensure consistency across all of their platforms/tools.
    • Radiuses can be placed anywhere on the map instead of stemming from the primary location. 

Define multiple delivery service areas

  • Define multiple delivery zones (by drawing a polygon or defining a radius) within a service area.
  • Each service area has its own order minimum, delivery fee, and delivery estimate associated with it.
  • Multiple service areas can be created and named to be unique! 
    • Limited to 30 service areas or less per store.

Delivery Estimate Update

  • Set a range of time in minutes or provide an estimate based on day (same day, or next day).

GeoJSON File Delivery Zone Service Area

GeoJSON enables the retailer to upload a file of their predefined delivery zones to Leafly. Your location might already have its zones defined in this format if you use OnFleet, or I Heart Jane. This allows you to keep their zones consistent across platforms.

You can also visit this website to create the file: https://geojson.io/#map=2/20.0/0.0 

Select the 'upload JSON file' option from your Delivery Service Area

  • Review service areas and zones on the map for accuracy

 

Zip Codes Delivery Zone Service Area

Note: Leafly does not support PO boxes or single-building zip codes. You can verify these zip codes by visiting: https://www.zipdatamaps.com/
