# 🚀 Location How to Create and Manage a Location

Locations are the heart of Hoppy Delivery Dates 📍

Each location represents one of your stores, warehouses, or pickup points — and carries its own time slots, prep time, blackout dates, and product overrides.

This means you can offer different delivery and pickup schedules per branch, all from one place ✨

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

* ➕ Create a new location  
* ✏️ Edit a location  
* 🟢 Enable / Disable a location  
* 🗑️ Delete a location

---

# **📋 Before You Begin**

* Hoppy Delivery Dates is installed and the app embed is enabled in your theme  
* You know how many locations (branches / pickup points) you want to offer  
* You have the address details handy for each location

---

# **⚙️ Step 1 — Open the Locations List**

Open the **Hoppy Delivery Dates** app.

Then:

→ Go to **Settings** → Select the **Delivery & Pickup** tab in the left menu

You'll see the **Your Locations** card — this is where all your locations live.

ℹ️ The note under the heading says it all: "Manage your timeslots, prep time, blockouts, & overrides inside locations."

If you haven't created any locations yet, you'll see:

> No locations found. Create one to get started.

---

# **➕ Step 2 — Create a New Location**

→ Click the **Create location** button at the top right of the **Your Locations** card.

A new location is added and the location editor opens automatically, ready for you to configure it.

### **What a new location starts with**

Every new location comes with sensible defaults so you're never starting from a blank page:

* 📝 Name: **New Location** (rename it right away)  
* 🟢 Status: **Active**  
* 🌏 Country: **India**  
* 🚚 Both **Local Delivery** and **Store Pickup (Takeaway)** enabled  
* ⏰ Slot type: **Date & Time Range**  
* 🗓️ Default slots every day (Mon–Sun): 9:00–10:00 AM, 10:00–11:00 AM, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM  
* 📆 Slots shown **5 days** ahead to customers  
* 🛍️ Store Pickup set to **Same as Local Delivery**

💡 These defaults are just a starting point — adjust everything to match how each branch actually operates.

---

# **✏️ Step 3 — Edit a Location**

Each location in the list shows:

* An **Active** (green) or **Inactive** (red) badge  
* The location name

→ Click **Edit** on any location to open its editor.

Inside the editor, settings are organized into tabs on the left:

* **Location setup** → status, name & address (see *Location: How to Set Up Address and Availability Status*)  
* **Fulfillment type** → delivery/pickup methods, minimum order value & zip codes (see *Location: How to Configure Fulfillment Type*)  
* **Time slots & limits** → slot types, per-day slots & order limits (see *Location: How to Set Time Slots and Order Limits*)  
* **Prep time & availability** → cut off time, prep days & visibility window (see *Location: How to Set Prep Time and Availability*)  
* **Block dates & times** → blackout slots (see *Location: How to Block Specific Dates and Times*)  
* **Product-based overrides** → product-specific rules (see *Location: How to Set Product-Based Overrides*)

→ Use the **back arrow** at the top left to return to the locations list at any time.

---

# **🟢 Step 4 — Enable or Disable a Location**

You don't need to open the editor to switch a location on or off.

→ In the **Your Locations** list, click **Disable** (or **Enable**) next to the location.

The badge updates immediately to **Active** or **Inactive**.

⚠️ Customers will only see locations that are enabled. Disabling a location hides it from the date picker without deleting its settings — perfect for temporary closures.

---

# **🗑️ Step 5 — Delete a Location**

To remove a location completely:

→ Click **Delete** next to the location in the list — or — → Open the location and click the red **Delete** button at the top right of the editor.

⚠️ Deleting is permanent. If you only need to hide a location temporarily, use **Disable** instead.

---

# **💾 Final Step — Save Your Changes**

Changes to locations are not applied until you save.

→ Click **Save** in the save bar at the top of the page (it appears whenever you have unsaved changes).

---

# **🎉 Final Result**

Once saved:

✅ Your locations appear in the **Your Locations** list with their Active/Inactive status ✅ Enabled locations are shown to customers in the date picker ✅ Each location runs on its own schedule, limits, and rules ✅ You can edit, pause, or remove any location in a couple of clicks
