Stores are required to configure their serviceable areas within the administrative serviceable zones to align with this control. :::hint{type="info"} ***Note: ****This setting not only facilitates serving customers but also allows administrators to make decisions regarding the temporary or permanent exclusion of specific areas or cities from service.* ::: *** ## Navigating to the Serviceable Zones Page - On the Admin panel, click on "Settings." ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/A6k4A417O1V2DGm4H5kN0/wiTR69QzWs7kRSEMZqXud_image.png" size="70" width="625" height="349" position="center" showCaption="false"} Then click "Serviceable zones." ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/A6k4A417O1V2DGm4H5kN0/ohLswf3PXvBvPgTQrYgHb_image.png) *** ## Creating a serviceable zone You can set up zones using a **radius**, a **custom geofence**, or by selecting an entire **country**, depending on how your business operates and the areas you want to serve. ### Add Zone On the Serviceable Zones page, click on the **Add Zone **button to create a new zone. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/A6k4A417O1V2DGm4H5kN0/TH1LnyMGAsoEG1wE3LkaU_image.png) ### Address Use the search bar to find your location.

Choose the type that aligns with how you operate your delivery or service coverage. ::: *** :::ExpandableHeading **Will customers outside the serviceable zone see my store?** Customers outside your defined zones will not be able to place orders, and depending on your settings, will also not see the store listed at all. ::: *** :::ExpandableHeading **Can I create separate serviceable zones for Pickup and Delivery?** Currently, serviceable zones apply **universally **to both pickup and delivery. This means the boundaries you define apply to both Pickup and Delivery services simultaneously. ::: *** :::ExpandableHeading **Can I leave the Admin serviceable zone blank and create serviceable zones only for each merchant?** You can leave the Admin serviceable zone completely blank and instead define individual serviceable zones for each merchant in their respective merchant panel. In this setup, every merchant will operate within their own defined boundaries, giving you full flexibility to customize coverage areas based on each merchant’s service reach. ::: *** :::ExpandableHeading **Can I create multiple serviceable zones?** You can define as many serviceable zones as your business requires. There are no limits on the number of zones you can create, allowing you to scale your coverage as your operations grow. :::
