For most businesses, using the simple delivery radius to control your delivery area will be sufficient but sometimes a little more control is needed.
You will need more control if you want to:
-
Extend your delivery area without crossing a body of water, like a harbour
- Service multiple delivery areas
- Add exclusion zones to your delivery area, where delivery is problematic or not possible

Drawing your delivery areas
You will use a separate tool to draw your custom delivery area.
Head over to Geoman.io - geoman.io/geojson-editor and then use the steps below.
Creating a single custom area
- Click on the 'Draw Polygons' tool in the menu (triangle with three dots button).
- Draw your delivery area by dropping markers on the map with your mouse.
- Connect back to your first marker to complete the area. This will fill it in as a shaded area on the map.
Creating multiple custom areas
- Draw your first area using the steps above.
- Repeat steps 2 - 4 above for as many additional areas as you need. We would recommend using this sparingly; a maximum of 2 or 3 separate areas.
- Be sure to complete each area by connecting back to the first marker.
Creating an exclusion zone in your delivery area
- Draw your delivery area using the steps above.
- Click on the 'Cut Layers' tool in the menu (scissors button).
- Draw your exclusion zone in the same way you draw the delivery area.
- Complete the exclusion zone by connecting back to the first marker. This will remove the shading from the area you have excluded.
