Define exactly where you offer local delivery using Alpaca’s flexible zone options.
1. Distance-Based Zones
Go to Settings → Delivery in the Alpaca dashboard.
Choose your location and click Add Delivery Rate.
Set the minimum and maximum delivery distance for this rate (e.g., 0–5 miles, 5–10 miles).
Optionally set a price for each distance tier.
2. Postal Code-Based Zones
In the rate setup, you can specify allowed postal codes (ZIP/postcodes).
Enter codes as a list (e.g., 90210, 90211) or a range (e.g., 10000–10100).
Use asterisks for wildcard matches (e.g., 902* covers 90200–90299).
Exclude codes by prefixing with an exclamation mark (e.g., !90210).
3. Multiple Zones Per Location
Create as many distance or postal code rates as you need.
Customers will only see delivery options for zones they’re eligible for.
Tips
You can have different rates for each location.
Use zones to offer premium delivery (e.g., express vs. standard).
