Access the Shipping section in ReCharge
You can access the ReCharge Shipping Zones by going to Settings and clicking on Shipping.
Zone types
Specify what rates apply to which locations by creating shipping zones. ReCharge Shipping Zones lets you set shipping rates by country, state/province/territory, or an all-encompassing rest of world option.
- Countries - Configure your shipping zones per country.
- ie. Shipping Zone A applies to orders originating in Canada. Shipping Zone B applies to orders originating in Egypt.
- States/Provinces/Territories - Further narrow your shipping zones down by configuring them at a provincial level.
- ie. Shipping Zone A applies to orders originating in California. Shipping Zone B applies to orders originating in New York.
- Rest of World - Create a shipping zone for all other countries not already included in a zone. All other countries in the world will be displayed and accepted at the checkout when the rest of world option is selected.
- ie. Shipping Zone A provides free shipping to orders originating in England. Shipping Zone B charges customers everywhere else in the world a flat rate of $10.00.
To make it easier, you can have multiple regions, or zones, in one shipping zone. For example, you could create one shipping zone for both Canada and the US.
You cannot have one region in multiple Shipping Zones. For example, Canada could not be in Shipping Zone A and Shipping Zone B.
