The Pricing Zones feature in Appliance.io lets you assign different delivery rates to specific groups of ZIP codes. Whether you service multiple regions, charge extra for remote areas, or need flexible pricing based on distance, Pricing Zones give you full control over how delivery fees are calculated at checkout or during invoice creation.
📍 Accessing Pricing Zones
To get started, open the sidebar and click Settings.
Under the Basic Settings section, select Delivery Schedule.
Scroll down until you see the Pricing Zones section.
You’ll also find a search bar at the top, making it easy to locate an existing zone.
To create a brand-new zone, click Add New Pricing Zone in the top-right corner.
A pop-up window will appear—this is where you’ll set all the details for your new zone.
🧩 Creating a Pricing Zone
Each pricing zone includes several customizable fields that help you fine-tune your delivery fees:
Zone Name
Enter a clear, descriptive name—something that helps you instantly recognize the area this zone covers.
Description (optional)
Add notes about the region or why this zone exists. This is great for tagging areas like “Remote Region,” “Local Delivery,” or “Out-of-State.”
Price
Set the base delivery fee for all orders placed with ZIP codes included in this zone.
Zip Codes
Enter one or multiple ZIP codes that belong to this zone.
Use commas to separate them — for example:
90210, 90046, 91316
Surcharge (optional)
Want to charge extra when an order is below a certain amount?
The surcharge section allows you to automatically add an additional fee.
You’ll set:
If the order value is less than: minimum order amount
Add this amount to the price: surcharge fee
This surcharge will be added on top of your base price for qualifying orders.
Once everything is filled out, click Save.
Your Pricing Zone is now active and ready to use.
🛠 Managing Pricing Zones
After creating a zone, you can always adjust it when needed.
Edit a zone using the pencil icon
Delete a zone using the trash icon
This makes it easy to update your delivery strategy as your coverage areas change.
