Regions from Google Maps: pick a template or click the map

The Regions screen has a new button for choosing a template. Open it and you'll find regions that are already drawn, with their boundaries taken from Google Maps.

Pick regions from a template

Until now, every region in DelivApp was drawn by hand: you add a region, then drag the points of its outline on the map until the shape fits. A template gives you the boundaries ready-made. It's a set of regions, each already drawn on the map based on Google Maps, and you choose the ones you need.

Or click the map

You can find the region you need in the template's list. If you'd rather not search, click a point on the map instead. DelivApp selects every region that covers that point.

A point can fall inside more than one template region, so a single click can select several at once: every region the point falls inside, and only those.

What regions do in DelivApp

Regions are the delivery areas a business works in, and a lot of DelivApp's configuration hangs off them:

• Delivery time and dispatch. Each region has its own maximum delivery time and, if you work with control centers, a default control center.
• Delivery prices. Prices for each merchant can be set per region. See Merchant delivery cost settings.
• Courier pay. Courier delivery fees can depend on both the delivery region and the pickup region. More in our earlier update.
• Orders from outside your area. An order from outside your regions can be highlighted and handled manually, if that's turned on in General Settings.

For the full setup, read Setting up delivery regions and Understanding delivery zone levels.

Also shipped: new payment method icons

The payment method icons have been redrawn. The new set covers card, bank transfer, cash, Google Pay, Apple Pay, voucher, discount and bonus.

Which payment methods are offered is set for the whole marketplace or for each business separately. The guide is here: Configuring payment methods.
