A shipping zone is an area that you ship to. For example, you might have a shipping zone for all of the United States, or just for certain states. You can also create shipping zones for specific countries outside of the United States.
Creating shipping zones
To add a shipping zone:
1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.
2. Click Add shipping zone. 3. Enter a name for the shipping zone. For example, “United States”. 4.
In the Countries included in this shipping zone section, select the countries that you want to include in this shipping zone. To include all countries, select “All countries”. 5. Click “Add shipping method”. 6. In the Shipping methods section, click an option from the drop-down menu:
– If you want to offer free shipping, then click “Free shipping”. – If you want to offer local delivery, then click “Local delivery”. – If you want to offer an international flat rate, then click “Flat rate”. – If you want to offer real-time rates from a carrier (such as UPS or FedEx), then click “Carrier calculated rates”. 7. Follow the instructions on screen to complete adding your shipping method and zone.
After you’ve created a few shipping zones, you can reorder them by dragging and dropping them into your preferred order. The first shipping zone in the list is your default shipping zone—the one that’s used when a customer’s address doesn’t match any other shipping zones.
You can edit or delete a shipping zone at any time from the Shipping and delivery page in your Shopify admin.
