How do shipping zones work in Vareons?
Last verified: 2026-09-18
Shipping zones are your store delivery price map: each zone holds countries or areas with its own price, and at checkout the system finds the zone matching the order destination and prices from your table, never from a browser-sent value. Design zones to mirror real delivery cost, and use them to limit selling to destinations you actually serve. See shipping carrier support, per-product shipping prices, and shipping support in Egypt.
Steps for setting up zones
- Open the shipping page in the dashboard and create a new zone with a clear name showing its coverage.
- Assign the zone countries or areas precisely, without confusing overlap with other zones.
- Set the zone shipping price to mirror its real delivery cost.
- Save the zone and confirm it appears in the list before testing it with a trial order.
- Try checkouts with different destinations to confirm each destination matches the right zone and price.
Recommended practices
- Keep zone names clear for your team to ease maintenance as coverage grows.
- Review prices regularly as carrier tariffs change so you never absorb the cost gap.
- Use zones to restrict shipping to supported destinations instead of accepting orders you cannot deliver.
- Coordinate shipping zones with per-product shipping rules so final prices come out balanced.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the system pick the shipping zone for an order?
The system matches the order destination against the countries and areas registered in your zones. When the matching zone is found, it prices from that zone fee table on the server, never trusting any browser value.
Can I block shipping to specific destinations?
Yes. By designing zones to cover only the destinations you actually serve, orders are automatically confined to your coverage, so no orders are accepted for destinations you cannot deliver to.
How do shipping zones relate to per-product prices?
Shipping zones set the base price from the merchant table by destination, while per-product shipping rules can override that price under the configured calculation mode, so coordinate both for balanced final prices.
