Feature	Location in BLAZE	Description & Usage Rules
Delivery Tax Rates	Global Settings > Current Shop Settings > Delivery Tax Rates	Distinguishes distinct geographical tax zones using zip codes. When an order is placed from a zip code within a designated region, the system applies the specific tax rate associated with that region.
Inventories	Global Settings > Current Shop Settings > Inventories	Associates specific inventories with defined regions for third-party integrations (e.g., Weedmaps). • Multiple inventories CAN be assigned to the same region. • Multiple regions CAN be assigned to the same inventory.
Weedmaps Integration	Global Settings > Integration Settings > Weedmaps	Filters and displays inventory items that are strictly available in the region associated with a specific Weedmaps pin. • Optional configuration. • Only one region may be assigned per pin. • Does not need to match the region listed natively in Weedmaps.

Regions allow you to designate specific geographic areas that can be associated with inventories and integrated services, such as Weedmaps or delivery tax rates.
