# Adding a new localization zone in PrestaShop 1.5

This article will demonstrate how to create a new geographic zone in your PrestaShop 1.5 store. While providing a strong list of default zones, you may want to customize your PrestaShop 1.5 store by adding a new zone. This may be a custom zone that matches delivery specifications for your carriers, or maybe you will be subdividing a larger area into smaller districts. Follow along below as you learn how to add the new zone in your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard.

**Creating a new Zone in PrestaShop 1.5**

1. [Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 admin dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/login-to-dashboard/).
2. Using the top menu bar, hover over the **Localizations** tab and click on the **Zones** option.
3. This will lead you to the *Zones* list screen. In order to create a new zone, click on the green **Add New** button in the upper right corner.
4. Now you are on the zone creation screen. This is a very simple screen with only two fields, the **Name** field and the **Status** field. Name your new zone and then ensure the **Status** field is enabled in order to use this new zone.[![new-zone-data](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edu_prestashop1.5_Localization_Add_new-zone-data.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/edu_prestashop1.5_Localization_Add_new-zone-data.png)
5. Once you have named your new zone and confirmed its status, click on the green **Save** button in the upper right corner. This will save your new zone and return you to the *Zones* list screen. You will now see your new zone in the list. Remember to follow up and [edit](/support/edu/prestashop/edit-localization-zone/) or [delete](/support/edu/prestashop/delete-localization-zone/) other zones affected by your new addition.
