Introduction
An important part of E-Commerce is to manage the delivery of purchased goods to customers. It's a good idea to put some thought into the methods you'll use and the destinations you'll deliver to.
Remember: You need to set up delivery options before your customers will be able to checkout!
Delivery Zones
Delivery zones categorise the countries in which you'll deliver to. For example: Zone 1 could be the UK and Zone 2 could be the rest of Europe.
Go to Settings > E-Commerce > Delivery Zones and click "Add".
Give your zone a title, for example: Zone 1. Enable the zone and click OK.
Repeat the process until you've added in all the zones that you require.
Country Zones
Now you've created your zones, we need to apply the countries in which each zone represents.
Go to Settings > E-Commerce > Country Zones.
Select the region or manually tick the appropriate countries.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and click Set Zone.
When the dialogue box appears, choose the appropriate zone and click OK.
Repeat the process for each zone you have.
