WooCommerce Shipping Zones
Get the most geo flexibility for your WooCommerce shipping by assigning methods and rates to specific Shipping Zones (Areas) or by creating destination-based Shipping Rules and Restrictions with the Calcurates shipping plugin for WooCommerce.
What is WooCommerce Shipping Zone?
A Shipping Zone (Area) is a condition set based on a combination of countries, regions, postal codes or address lines assigned to the WooCommerce shipping method or rate.

Why Do You Need Advanced Shipping Zones for WooCommerce?
The Shipping Zones (Areas) feature for WooCommerce is a great solution when you ship to distant states like Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Being separated from the United States, they require specific handling when it comes to shipping. Applying certain conditions to a different shipping zone allows you to create custom scenarios, offer unique shipping options, or restrict deliveries to these zones altogether. Combining this feature with Shipping Rules unlocks fine-tuning the different WooCommerce shipping scenarios based on destination.
