Step 2: Adding shipping zones & rates 

Shipping zones allow you to offer different rates and shipping methods on your checkout page, based on the customer's location. You can also use shipping zones to differentiate between domestic and international shipments, so you can apply a different pricing policy per zone.

You can manually add rates and shipping zones via WooCommerce by following the steps below:

  1. From the sidebar menu in your WooCommerce dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and then click Add shipping zone

  2. Give your shipping zone a name, select the regions you want to include, and add your shipping methods. 
  3. When you add a shipping method, you'll have the option to decide from the following pricing methods:
    — Fixed rate: Set a unique delivery fee
    — Free delivery: Grant a free delivery for your customers
    — Local pickup: Customers will pick up the order themselves
  4. Once the shipping method is added, click on Edit to add rates for this method:
