Create Shipping Rates by Shipping Class and Zone

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:

• In the 90210 zip code in California, I offer Local Pickup and Free Shipping.
  
• In the United States, I offer a Domestic Flat Rate.
  
• In Canada and U.S. regions, I offer a different Flat Rate.
  

This is what your customers would see if they use the Calculate Shipping option:

CALIFORNIAN CUSTOMER	NON-CALIFORNIAN, U.S. CUSTOMER	INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMER

To create a global shipping rate that is taxable, s elect United States (Taxable).  To create a global shipping rate that is non-taxable, select  United States (Non-Taxable). You can also customize rates for up to 14 different zones.

1. Hover over your zone of choice and select Edit.
   

1. Select the States covered in your zone. Or restrict by zip code. In this example, all states are covered under United States (Non-Taxable) expect for California. If there are other states that incur tax on shipping, you can use the United States (Taxable) zone and select the states that apply there.
