Delivery Zones in O2VEND

The Delivery Zones feature controls where an online store can deliver products using pincode-based delivery settings. This configuration helps restrict or allow deliveries, manage stock availability by delivery area, and ensure a smooth checkout experience.

Understanding Delivery Zones

Delivery Zones define which pincodes are serviceable by the store. Based on the configured zones, the system determines:

  • Whether delivery is available for a customers location
  • Which warehouse stock should be considered
  • Whether manual pincode entry is allowed

This feature is especially useful for businesses that deliver only to selected areas.

Benefits of Delivery Zones

  • Restricts deliveries to serviceable areas
  • Optimizes stock management per delivery zone
  • Improves checkout experience for customers

Enable Pincode Automatic Detection

  • When enabled, the system automatically detects the delivery pincode using Google Reverse Geocoding.

  • When disabled, the system does not detect the delivery pincode automatically, and the pincode must be entered manually.

Geocoder API ID

  • When a valid Google Geocoding API ID is provided, automatic pincode detection functions correctly and location-based delivery validation works as expected.

  • When the API ID is missing or invalid, automatic pincode detection does not work and manual pincode entry becomes mandatory.

Default Delivery Zone Pin

  • When enabled, a default delivery pincode is applied for first-time website visitors, allowing products and delivery availability to load immediately.

  • When disabled, no default pincode is applied, and delivery availability is shown only after a pincode is selected.

Zone Stock Availability

  • When enabled, stock is validated based on the selected delivery zone and its mapped warehouses, ensuring only zone-available products can be ordered.

  • When disabled, stock is shown without delivery-zone validation, which may allow orders from locations without actual stock availability.

Lock Shipping Pincode

  • When enabled, the shipping pincode remains locked to the selected delivery zone throughout the checkout process.

  • When disabled, the shipping pincode can be changed during checkout, which may lead to delivery or stock mismatch.

Disable Zipcode Check in Shipping Address

  • When enabled, any zipcode can be entered in the shipping address without delivery validation.

  • When disabled, only serviceable zipcodes are accepted and delivery validation is enforced.

Check Delivery Zone with City Name

  • When enabled, delivery validation checks both the city name and pincode, recommended for cities with multiple pincodes.

  • When disabled, delivery validation is performed strictly based on the pincode.
