Setting up Shipping Zones

Shipping Zones

A Shipping Zone is a geographical area to which you ship items. You can get as specific as you need, right down to regions and zip codes, or you can leave it more general – whichever suits you best.

Customers only see the methods available for their address and corresponding zone. Each customer matches only one zone.

For example, you could create these zones in WooCommerce:

Add as many zones as you need, with each zone containing multiple shipping methods.

Adding & managing zones

• To set up shipping zones, go to: Seller Dashboard > Shipping. Click on it.

• To create  a new shipping zone chick “Add New Shipping Zone”.
• Enter a descriptive Zone Name, and select Zone Regions that apply. Regions can consist of: a) Countries, b) States, c) Continents.
• Then Enter the details .

How To Set Up Shipping Classes in WooCommerce

Product shipping classes are a great way to group similar products for shipping. For example, if your store sells a couple of very large, bulky items you may want to put them in their own shipping class with their own unique shipping cost.

Grouping these products together in a way that is similar to post or product categories allows you to define specific shipping costs for items. WooCommerce shipping methods such as Flat Rate Shipping and Table Rate Shipping allow you to use shipping classes to calculate their costs.

• Next, enter a Name for your shipping class and add a URL friendly slug (this will automatically fill in if you leave it blank). If you are going to be using several shipping classes on your website, we would recommend using a description so it is easier for you to tell them apart.

• Repeat this process for all of the shipping classes you will need on your website. Now you are ready to add your products to your shipping class!

• Once you create the shipping zone and shipping classes ,then new created shipping zones will get listed on the shipping dashboard

• Now to add conditions please click   on edit button of the created shipping method.

• Then you will see the following options
  Zone Name,Zone Region,Shipping Method

• Select the Zone Region where you want to apply this shipping method.
• Then click on “Add Shipping Method” button present next to Shipping Method  text.
• Then select the type of shipping method that you want to create .

• If you want to create some shipping methods with custom tax, then select “Marketplace Flat Rate Shipping Setting”
• Once you save this option click on the “”Marketplace Flat Rate Shipping” present next to Shipping Method .
• Then select Tax status : taxable from the drop down.
• And enter the cost,then save changes

Once you are done with these settings . now this shipping method will get listed while creating or editing product under shipping tab.select the shipping method and save changes in order to apply the shipping method to the editing product.
