Shipping Zones Overview

The regions and countries that you ship to are known as shipping zones. Each shipping zone includes shipping rates that apply to customers whose addresses are within that zone. You can see your current shipping zones and shipping rates on the Shipping page in your ShipEarly admin.

Note

If a customer enters a shipping address that's in a region outside your shipping zones, then they'll be informed that no shipping rate is available for their area or simply not be able to checkout in their area.
