all right now the next thing we're going
to do is add our shipping rates so let's
go back to the WordPress dashboard then
here let's go to woocommerce and click
on settings and here let's open up the
shipping settings and then here we can
add shipping zones so you can have
multiple shipping zones which are
basically the geographical locations
where you are shipping your products too
so for example you can have a specific
zone for California and then add a
specif specific rate for that area you
can have one for the entire United
States area you can have one for Europe
so it can create as many shipping zones
as you want and add as many shipping
rates as you want so let's create the
first one by clicking on ADD Zone up
here I'm going to create one for the
United States so I'm going to name it
United States and then down here we want
to choose our region so again I'll type
in United States and here it is we could
even choose individual states or we can
even type in ZIP codes right here and
create specific rates for zip codes but
I'll just keep it General and just
choose the United States here and then
down here we can add our shipping method
so let's click on ADD shipping method
then here we have three options we have
free shipping for when you don't want to
charge anything extra for shipping the
products then we have a flat rate if you
want to charge something for shipping
and then we have local pickup this is
also a free option but then customers
will will have to go to your physical
location and pick up their products so
I'm going to add a flat rate first so
let's choose this and click on continue
then I'm going to name this rate
standard shipping for taxable status I'm
going to choose none and then here we
can add our shipping cost so let's add
$7 for shipping then let's click on
Create and save so now we have a $7
standard shipping rate for the United
States and one thing we can do is also
add free shipping for a certain order
amount so this is basically what we are
promising right here at the top free
shipping on orders above $40 so I want
to set that up too so let's go back to
the dashboard and then click on ADD
shipping method again and now I will
just choose free shipping and continue
and I'll leave the name free shipping
and then here we want to add a
requirement so I'm going to add a
minimum order amount and and then the
minimum amount that people will have to
buy products in is
$40 then let's click on Create and save
and then I would also recommend to drag
the free shipping above the standard
shipping because then when free shipping
is available so when the order amount is
above $40 the free shipping method will
be selected by default so let's click on
Save changes and now we can go back to
our shipping zones and here we can see
that we have free shipping and stand
stand shipping for the United States and
now we can just click on ADD Zone and
add as many zones as you want so for
example you can add another one for
Canada or one for Europe and so on now
there's always this rest of the world
down here so these are all the zones
that you currently haven't defined yet
and if you are selling internationally
then you also want to add a shipping
rate to this specific Zone as well so
that people can order products from
anywhere from the world so let's do that
also so by clicking on edit then let's
click on edit shipping method and here I
will do flat rate continue and I will
also name this standard shipping taxable
status none and then here I will charge
a bit more because this is international
shipping let's just charge $15 and click
on Save You could also add free shipping
for a specific order amount but I'll
just stick to standard shipping for now
so let's go back to shipping zones and
now we also have standard Shipp shipping
for the rest of the world now here on
our website let's see if the shipping
rates are set up correctly so let's go
to our shop and then let's just add a
product to the cart and go to checkout
and now here we can see the shipping
rate is $7 because the order amount is
below $40 and we can also change the
region from United States to another
country and that will go to the
international shipping rate which is
$15 now let's go ahead and add another
product to the cart let's just add this
one right here then again go to checkout
and now we still have $15 because we are
on international shipping but when we
change this back to United States now we
also have the free shipping method
option
