This kb article will explain the necessary configurations in ECOM Mission Control and BLAZE POS to set up delivery zones by KML Files. ### The details below will explain these settings required for KML Delivery Zones. MC BLAZE POS: ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2025-03-01-54-9596-PM.png?width=670&height=338&name=image-png-May-06-2025-03-01-54-9596-PM.png) MC Deliveries tab: ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2025-03-02-08-5123-PM.png?width=670&height=410&name=image-png-May-06-2025-03-02-08-5123-PM.png) POS Global Settings Online Store: ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2025-03-02-30-6377-PM.png?width=670&height=146&name=image-png-May-06-2025-03-02-30-6377-PM.png) ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2025-03-02-51-1637-PM.png?width=670&height=159&name=image-png-May-06-2025-03-02-51-1637-PM.png) POS Global Settings Regions: ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2025-03-04-20-6528-PM.png?width=670&height=288&name=image-png-May-06-2025-03-04-20-6528-PM.png) POS Global Settings Inventories:![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-06-2025-03-03-56-5402-PM.png?width=670&height=289&name=image-png-May-06-2025-03-03-56-5402-PM.png)   ### First Step: Creating KML Files for Delivery Zones: **What is a KML File?** - A KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file uses XML to express geographic annotation and visualization. - In simpler terms, you can draw a zone on Google Maps or Mapbox and express that geographic understanding to other systems via a .KML file.  - [Google My Maps](https://www.google.com/mymaps)  - Once here, follow along with our [video tutorial](https://vimeo.com/1229681311) to create your zones - - [Mapbox](https://geojson.io/#new&map=2/0/20) ### **Setting up your Regions in BLAZE POS:** The KML files will be assigned by regions within BLAZE POS - ***1 KML file can be applied per region*.** You will want to create regions in BLAZE POS Global settings first. - Please [click here](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-creating-and-using-regions?hsLang=en) to read our step-by-step guide to building regions in BLAZE POS Once Regions are configured, you're ready to upload KML files to them. ### **Upload Your KML Files to BLAZE POS Regions:** Within Your BLAZE Regions, you can set up a zone for each one.  - These zones can be zip code based or .KML files (1 per region) - Upload your .KML files in the desired regions  - *Note: The screenshots are from a Blaze Dispatch Pro account.* If you would like the most of the ability to build unique regions that support unique Fees and Minimums by region, you could consider [BLAZE Dispatch Pro](https://www.blaze.me/dispatch/). If you want to learn more about signing up for Dispatch Pro, reach out to your Account Care Manager or [submit a contact form](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en) to BLAZE.  ![](https://support.blaze.me/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Mar-21-2023-10-36-25-0749-PM-3.png)![](https://support.blaze.me/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Mar-21-2023-10-37-30-7172-PM-3.png) We recommend that you **do not** use overlapping KML zones for the smoothest order management experience: - If you do use overlapping zones, and a customer orders from an address in that intersection, you have two options: - Within BLAZE's region management, designate one of the regions as the "Default Region" so those orders populate to that region - Plan for a flow where those orders will come in unassigned and your dispatcher will need to manually accept the order & assign to a driver ### **Associate Regions with Inventories in BLAZE POS:** Once Regions are configured with KML files, you'll want to associate the Regions with the Inventories they will be supporting. - Please [click here](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/retail-creating-and-using-regions?hsLang=en) to read our step-by-step guide to associating Regions to Inventories in the BLAZE POS ### **Enable Specific Inventory in BLAZE POS:** - Enable Specific Inventory must be enabled in Global settings: - Global Settings -\> Online Store -\> Enable Specific Inventory -\> By Nearby Regions or By Nearby Regions + Default Regions![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-13-2025-09-00-11-8301-PM.png?width=670&height=352&name=image-png-Mar-13-2025-09-00-11-8301-PM.png) ### **Request Manual Sync in ECOM Mission Control:** Once Regions and Inventories are configured, you'll want to run a manual POS Sync in Mission Control to Sync updates to ECOM before the automatic sync cycle.![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-21-2025-01-36-27-5411-AM.png?width=670&height=333&name=image-png-Feb-21-2025-01-36-27-5411-AM.png) ### **Inventories in Mission Control:** Head to **ECOM Mission Control -\> Inventories** to confirm the inventories and Regions/Zones you would like enabled for sellable products. - [ECOM | How to Manage Your Inventories Within ECOM Mission Control](https://support.blaze.me/hc/en-us/articles/managing-inventories-in-tmc?hsLang=en) - **Recommended Safe Settings (Pizza delivery model):** - Scheduled Delivery - Available - Express Delivery - Unavailable - Pickup - Available (does not allow customers to order for pickup if delivery only retailer) - Is Active - Active![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-14-2025-09-08-13-0632-PM.png?width=670&height=295&name=image-png-Jul-14-2025-09-08-13-0632-PM.png) - **Recommended Express Kit Settings (If utilizing Express/Ice Cream Truck delivery model):** - Scheduled Delivery - Unavailable - Express Delivery - Available - Pickup - Unavailable - Is Active - Active![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-14-2025-09-10-56-9153-PM.png?width=670&height=282&name=image-png-Jul-14-2025-09-10-56-9153-PM.png) To confirm your Region/Zone synced correctly, click **Inventories -\> Select Your Location -\> Zones** ![](https://support.blaze.me/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Mar-22-2023-09-14-23-6254-PM-3.png) If multiple Regions are associated to an inventory, the map will show the different zones by color and shape.  ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-13-2025-05-01-41-1561-PM.png?width=670&height=288&name=image-png-Mar-13-2025-05-01-41-1561-PM.png) ### Area Restrictions and Deliveries **in Mission Control** - Area Restrictions in POS Global Settings should be configured to **Disabled** for supporting KML Zones on ECOM![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-20-2025-08-41-50-9321-PM.png?width=670&height=309&name=image-png-Mar-20-2025-08-41-50-9321-PM.png) **Important:** Remove any zip codes configured in the Mission Control Area Restrictions - They will conflict with the KML zones if still configured. **Step 5: Enable Delivery Area Restrictions in Mission Control** Settings -\> Deliveries -\> Allow Scheduled Deliveries -\> Allow Area Restrictions - **Remove Added Area Restriction Zip Codes From Delivery Settings** - Go to Settings \> Delivery to access your area restrictions. If you have had added any, they will appear in the outline bar below. Clear them out and click "Save". **Allow Delivery Area Restrictions** must be enabled in the Deliveries tab for total delivery area to be registered. ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-13-2025-05-08-52-9779-PM.png?width=670&height=311&name=image-png-Mar-13-2025-05-08-52-9779-PM.png) **Step 6: Enable Geographical Delivery Zones In Mission Contro**l  Go to Settings \> Integrations \> Blaze \> Settings and toggle 'Geographical Delivery Zones' on as shown below  Once enabled, you must **use KML files for each Region/Zone** - Zip-code defined zones will not be recognized again unless you toggle this off ![](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-13-2025-05-09-50-4792-PM.png?width=670&height=302&name=image-png-Mar-13-2025-05-09-50-4792-PM.png) If you want to make the most of the ability to build unique regions, you could consider [BLAZE Dispatch Pro](https://www.blaze.me/dispatch/).
