Setting multiple delivery areas in Google maps

If you charge different fees or have different minimum order value for different delivery areas you can set up multiple delivery areas and assign different fees or minimum orders for each.

1. To add another delivery area to your current map, click on the following web address or copy & paste into your search bar: http://mapsengine.google.com/map/. Select your current map from the page.

Note: Your most current map will be shown first, if you have multiple maps.

2. Click on the 3 vertical dots, to the right of your map and click on Open in new tab.

3. Your map will open in a new tab

3. To add another delivery area to your current map. Select the incomplete triangle icon underneath the white search bar & click Add line or shape.

4. To create another delivery area, choose a point where you want to begin & click on the map.

Note: If the shape of the area is incorrect, you don't need to delete it or start again, you can adjust the area later on.

5. Once all the lines are connected, a popup box will display for you to name your area & give it a description. By default this will be named Polygon 2. Your new delivery area will appear to the left side of the screen, under your first delivery area created. If you need to expand the delivery area created, you can drag the white circular points dotted around the area.

Press Save when you are happy with your area.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 to create any further delivery areas. 

7. Additional delivery areas will appear directly underneath your original delivery area on the left hand side. 

8. When you are happy with all your delivery areas created, you will need to export the whole map as a KML file.

9. To export as a KML file, click on the 3 vertical dots to the right hand side of the name of your map. Click Export to KML/KML highlighted in grey, from the dropdown.

10. A popup screen will appear. From the grey dropdown box, select Entire map. Then select Export as KML instead of KMZ from the tickboxes below.

Click the blue Download button.

You can now upload your delivery area in the back office.
