2 min readAn original planning guide. Use the linked primary documentation for platform details and the supported procedure for your environment.
Document intended coverage
Write which areas the business serves and the delivery methods it intends to offer. Use approved operational rules as the source.
Review zone relationships
Check matching order, overlapping areas, and fallback behavior in the platform's configuration. Identify addresses near important boundaries.
Vary the cart and address
Test representative destinations with product types and quantities that influence available methods. Use non-sensitive test details.
Compare promise and outcome
Check the displayed option, cost information, and order record against the intended policy. Assign configuration gaps before launch.
Worked scenario
See the plan in practice.
An address just outside the local delivery area should follow the store's intended fallback, not inherit a nearby zone by accident.
