Shipping zones allow you to set up shipping methods varying between country, state, and/or zip code. 

 

The default zone is All Undefined Zones. This includes every country and state that you have enabled under Settings > Configure Countries & States.

 

You have several options as to how to set up your shipping zone.

• None - This sets shipping to $0.00
• Order Subtotal
• Percentage of Order Subtotal
• Order Weight
• Order Quantity
• By Product
• Percentage/Sub-Total Combination
• Vendor Flat Rate - Only displays if you've got vendors turned on and "Allow each vendor to have their own flat rate shipping based on the shipping zone" enabled
• Real-Time Shipping Carriers (such as FedEx, UPS, etc.)

 

For all of these but None, Vendor Flat Rate, and Real-Time Shipping Carriers, you can enter up to four shipping methods. You can name these however you like—they are simply what display on the storefront to your customers. 

 

For Order Subtotal, Percentage of Order Subtotal, and Order Weight, you must set up ranges. Here's an example for Order Subtotal:

 

 

You can see that two methods are being used, Standard and Express. If the order subtotal is over $50, then the shipping is free if Standard is selected.

 

If you want to set up a flat rate regardless of order subtotal, weight, etc., then set the Low as $0.00, the High as $99999.99, and Rate 1 to whatever price you want.

 

If you want to set up your shipping By Product, you will need to enter your methods and then go to each individual product to set the available methods for that product. You can set this in the Shipping Info section within the edit product screen. 

 

You will also notice three more options on this screen:

 

• Max Box Weight - Only works with Real-Time Shipping Carriers
• Max Box Weight - Set the max box weight in pounds
• For Real-Time Shipping assume each item is in its own box
• None
• Pickup - Enable pickup and include a fee
• Handling - Add handling to the shipping, as either a flat rate or percentage
