Zones allow you to divide your platform into manageable areas so each team can focus only on the operations they are responsible for. This means different managers can handle different areas. Each manager can only view and manage data for their assigned zone.

This helps keep your operations **organized, structured, and easy to manage**, especially when multiple teams or managers are involved.

***

## Navigating to the Zones Section

- On the admin panel, navigate to Settings.

### Zone Name 

Enter the name of the zone. For instance, if your platform operates in the **United Kingdom**, you can create zones based on specific areas or cities.

You may create a zone for **London**. All merchants located in London can then be assigned to the **London zone**.

### Description (Optional)

Write a short description. Example: Restaurants located in London.

This helps explain the purpose of the zone.

## Assigning Zones

Once your zones are created, the next step is to assign them to the relevant merchants and managers. This ensures that each zone is properly managed and that users only have access to the data related to their assigned area.



### Assign Zone to a Merchant

After creating zones, you must assign merchants to them.

- Navigate to the Merchants section in the Admin panel.

- Open the **Merchant profile **you want to assign to a zone, then click **Edit**. Then scroll down to the **Zones **field and select the appropriate zone.

As the next step, you can now invite the **admin users or managers **and assign them their respective zones.

## Managing Zones

After creating zones, you can manage them at any time from the **Zone Management** section. This allows you to update zone details, control whether a zone is active, or remove a zone if it is no longer needed.



### Edit a Zone

### Delete a Zone

- If a zone is no longer needed, you can remove it by clicking the **Delete** option next to the zone.

**Note**: When a zone is deleted, it is **not permanently removed**. Instead, it moves to the **Archive tab**. From there, you can **restore the zone anytime if you need to use it again**.
