Introduction
In this article, we describe how to set up shipping rules by geographical zones and restrict the vendor's shipping to a specific set of rules.❗️This option is restricted to Advanced Accounts.
Getting started
Onport allows you to set up different rules either by specific country/state/region.
Shipping Zones are used to ship products to specific areas, based on the shipping strategy you would like to apply and what rate to practice. This can be used if a vendor is restricted to only ship to certain areas or if you want to have a specific shipping strategy that requires more granularity by location.
Setting up shipping zones
Click New shipping-rate
Add Name and Code
Choose Advanced Shipping Rules
Save (If you do not click save, the Zone setup will not appear)
Assign it to your dropship providers
Go to Shipping Zones at the bottom and enter a zone name
After you enter a zone name complete the zone setup information - Weight Based, Order Value or Carrier Rates based.
Save shipping zone changes and finally save the shipping rate.
