Priroda, the flower-shop management software from priroda.tech, lets the florist draw the shop's delivery zones on a map, give each zone a price for each delivery schedule, set the weekly time windows and the days without delivery, and then quotes the fee automatically for a phone order and on the online store from the same rules.

### What makes delivery pricing hard

- "How much to Bouzas? And to Nigrán?" is answered differently by each person at the counter.
- The website charges a flat fee that loses money on far addresses and scares off near ones.
- The shop delivers on Saturday mornings only, but the online store lets customers pick Sunday.

### How it works in Priroda

1. In **Settings → Delivery**, draw each **zone** as a polygon on the Google map. Zones stack: a zone drawn on top of another wins where they overlap, so a cheap centre zone can sit inside a wider, dearer one and the areas tile exactly.
2. Define the **delivery schedules**: weekly service windows with time slots, plus days off and exceptions for holidays.
3. Give each **zone and schedule pair a price**, optionally a **minimum order**, and an expected time. A zone with no schedule is closed, and the app says so.
4. When an order is created at the counter or by phone, the address is matched to a zone and the **fee is quoted** automatically.
5. On the **online store**, checkout offers only the bookable days and hours, prices delivery from the same zones, and enforces the minimum order of the tier.
6. The **delivery cost** the shop actually paid (a courier, fuel) is recorded on the order next to the fee charged, so the delivery report shows whether delivery makes or loses money.

This is the price grid of the shop in the screenshot above: each zone has a price per delivery schedule, and a day off closes every zone at once.

| Zone ↓ · schedule → | Delivery time | Same-day express | Monday |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Centro (3.3 km²)** | €7.00 · 60 min | €12.00 | Day off: no delivery |
| **Vigo Greater Area (18.5 km²)** | €13.00 · 90 min | €20.00 | Day off: no delivery |

### What gets recorded

The zones and their prices per schedule, the windows and exceptions, each order's zone, fee and cost, and the delivery report by period.

### Frequently asked questions

#### Do I need a list of postcodes?
No. Zones are drawn freehand on the map, so they can follow the real streets the shop serves.

#### Can a customer far away still order for pickup?
Yes. Pickup at the shop is always available; zones only govern delivery.

#### Does each shop location have its own zones?
Yes. Zones and schedules belong to the location, so a shop with two premises sets each one separately.
