Migrating your local delivery method

There's a new method to set up local delivery. With this new method, youset up local delivery from theShipping and deliverypage. Customers have the local delivery option at checkout if they're within a certain distance or specific postal code that you set.

If you previouslyset up local delivery shipping rates by editing your shipping zones, and you want to migrate to the new method, then you need to undo the changes to your shipping zones. This prevents duplicate local delivery rates, and makes it easier to manage your shipping zones.

Before you migrate your local delivery method

You might not want to migrate to the new local delivery method if the any of the following applies to your business:

• You want to continue using a third-party local delivery app. To use the new local delivery method, you need to remove any third-party delivery apps. Apps that aren'tmade by Shopifyare considered third-party apps.

• You want to useshipping profilesandcarrier calculated shipping ratesto create product-based shipping rules for local delivery.

• You want to customize the name of local delivery at checkout. When you set up local delivery from theShipping and deliverypage, the local delivery method is namedLocal deliveryand can't be changed.

About the previous shipping zone method

Previously, you set up local delivery by editing existing shipping zones, and then adding a shipping zone that included only the province or state where you wanted to offer local delivery. Next, you created rates for the new zone, including a local delivery rate.

To undo these changes, you need to delete the local delivery shipping zone, and then add the province or state back to your broader shipping zone.

Example

You had aUnited Statesshipping zone with a $10 shipping rate for all states. You wanted to create a local delivery zone for your San Francisco warehouse in California.

You removed California from theUnited Statesshipping zone. You then created a new zone for only California. You added two rates to the California shipping zone:

• a local delivery rate
• a $10 shipping rate

To undo this local delivery method, you delete the California shipping zone, and then add California back to yourUnited Statesshipping zone.

Next, you set up local delivery for your San Francisco warehouse location using thenew local delivery method.
