Dynamic/flexible service area creation
- Create zones by drawing a polygon and/or by placing a radius on a map

- 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).

- Zip Code (US Only)
Draw Delivery Zone Service Area
You can define the zone by creating a polygon on the map. Select the 'Draw' option from your Delivery Service Area:
- Click on the map to draw a line
- Click each corner or bend of their line or shape
- When finished, double-click the map
- Hit 'Save and complete zone' to save these changes
Radius Delivery Zone Service Area
By selecting a radius, you will be able to define the size of the radius and the placement of the radius on the map. Select the 'Radius' option from your Delivery Service Area:

- Pull a side of the radius to expand or contract it
- Drag the radius around on the map to place it in the preferred location
- When finished double-click the map
- Hit 'Save and complete zone' to save these changes
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
- Select the file and click open
- Click upload and save zones
- Review service areas and zones on the map for accuracy
