Area based Delivery Charges
Service Request ID: AREA-CODE
Overview
This feature allows you to set custom delivery charges based on your customer’s pin code. Whether you want to charge different fees for remote areas, offer free delivery to nearby locations, or manage delivery costs efficiently — this feature gives you full control.
You can define:
- Exact area charges (e.g., ₹0 for pin code
670307) - Area group charges using pin code prefixes (e.g., ₹20 for any pin code starting with
58)
Benefits for Your Business
✅ Flexible Delivery Pricing
Charge more for distant areas, less for local ones.
✅ Save Time & Avoid Mistakes
Charges are applied automatically based on the customer's pin code.
✅ Offer Free Delivery Where It Makes Sense
Reward loyal or nearby customers with ₹0 delivery charge.
✅ Group Locations Easily
Using prefixes, you can manage delivery zones without listing every pin code.
How It Works
When a customer enters their pin code during checkout, the system checks your delivery charge rules and applies the most relevant one using this logic:
- Exact matches are checked first (e.g.,
670307) - Then, prefix matches are considered (e.g.,
670*) - If multiple rules match, the most specific rule (longest match) is used
Examples

588* | ₹25 | All pin codes starting with 588 | Prefix Match |
670* | ₹10 | All pin codes starting with 670 | Prefix Match |
58* | ₹20 | All pin codes starting with 58 | Prefix Match |
