Postcodes are a blunt tool. One postcode can cover the street around the corner and a village 30 minutes away. Shipping Zones by Drawing lets you draw the exact area you deliver to on a Google map and use it as a shipping method in WooCommerce. Only addresses inside your zones can choose delivery, and each zone can have its own price.
It is made for local delivery: restaurants and takeaway, grocery and farm shops, florists, bakeries and stores with more than one location.
Works with both the classic checkout and the WooCommerce block checkout.
