This is an object representing delivery points.
Delivery points
Delivery points are simply the location involved in the delivery and some extra information regarding the location for how the delivery should be made or who is involved in the delivery. This can be a pickup location and dropoff location and can be represented with an address in words, or just latitude and longitude coordinates.
When creating a delivery point, you can either send in the address in words, or in the geographic coordinate of latitude and longitude pairs. Either way, we will try to make out the other with what you submit to us.
Although not required, it is also recommended you add notes about the delivery point for a better delivery experience for your users. For example, "only pick up from the sous chef", "knock 3 times" and "yellow door with a 4" can give information about the who, how and where of the delivery respectively.
