Set up shipping method

1. About Shipping Method

Shipping method refers to how you ship / deliver your products to your customers and how much you will be charging. Different method can be different in terms of:

Courier service provider (Gdex, FedEx, etc.)
Calculation method (by weight, by item quantity, etc.)
Rate (RM7 per kg, RM5 per item, etc.)

2. Create Zone

Before creating shipping methods, you need to create your shipping areas which we call zones. You can separate your zones by countries/states/zip codes, as you prefer.

2.1 Go to EasyStore Admin > Settings > Shippings > Add zones and rates.

2.2 Name this zone and select the country this zone belongs to.

Let's use West Malaysia as the example.

2.3 Once a country is selected, you will be prompted to further select sub-regions (by zip codes or states).

💡 One zip code can be used in multiple zones. You can get your zip codes here. However, the state can only be used in one zone.

By zip codes

Define your zone by manually inserting zip codes.

By sub-regions

Define your zone by selecting from the list of states
