Shipping zones

Before we get to the specific costs of shipping, it's helpful to know what WooCommerce means when they say Shipping Zone. A shipping zone is a group of countries, provinces or states, cities, and zip or postcodes. And each shipping zone can have its own set of shipping methods.

Check out these examples:

• I could offer free delivery in my home city.
• I could offer USPS inside the United States.
• I could offer FedEx everywhere else.

You can also have multiple methods within each shipping zone that the user selects, as in this example:

• Within the United States, I could offer USPS for all orders.
• And if you order over $50, I can offer 5-day free shipping with the option to still pick a faster USPS service.

We'll cover shipping in more detail later in this book. For now, just set a price for your country and a price for international shipping. You can also offer free shipping here.
