I recently discovered a wonderful online African market that offers local delivery. It’s now easier than ever to get my favorite ingredients without leaving the house! However, while their delivery areas were straightforward, the static list of zip codes at the bottom of the page was confusing. That inspired me to create a better solution.
💡 The Problem
Static zip code lists are hard to read and not user‑friendly. Customers often struggle to know if their location is covered. A better approach is to make delivery zones interactive and easy to validate.
🛠️ The Solution
I developed a cost‑effective widget using Google Sheets + HTML/JavaScript. This method lets you create an interactive delivery zone display for your website, replacing static lists with a dynamic validator.
✨ Why This Works
- Cost‑Effective: No monthly subscriptions for plugins or services.
- Customizable: Style the widget to match your website’s branding.
- Easy Maintenance: Update delivery areas directly in Google Sheets.
🚀 How to Get Started
- Purchase the Code: Get the script here.
- Set Up the Spreadsheet (optional): Copy the provided Google Sheet to manage delivery zones.
- Customize the Display: Adjust the code to fit your site’s design.
- Integrate: Add the widget to your HTML, WordPress, or Blogger site.
📋 Demo & Functionality
The widget validates zip codes entered by customers and provides clear feedback:
- Form: Customers enter their zip code.
- Error Messages: Alerts for missing input, invalid length, or unsupported zip codes.
- Success Page: Confirmation when delivery is available.
