Shipping & Pickup

Shipping & Pickup lets you define where you deliver, set delivery charges and timelines, and offer curbside pickup from your business locations. Configure these options from your Zoho Commerce organization settings.

To open Shipping & Pickup:

  • Go to Settings in the top-right corner.
  • Select Shipping & Pickup under Sales.

Shipping Zones

The Shipping Zones tab lists the delivery regions configured for your store. Each zone can contain one or more shipping rates, such as standard or free shipping. The list displays the shipping method, rate type, shipping range, shipping rate, and status for each rate.

From this tab, you can:

  • Click Setup your Shipping Integrations to connect a shipping carrier.
  • Click + New Shipping Zone to define a delivery region.
  • Click Add Shipping Rate inside a zone to add another shipping rate.
  • Click More Options on a shipping zone row to edit or delete the shipping zone.
  • Use the Edit and Delete actions on a shipping-rate row to manage that rate.

Create a Shipping Zone

Create a shipping zone when the delivery rate or availability differs by country, state, or postal-code area.

  • Go to Settings in the top-right corner.

Create a Shipping Zone
  • Enter a Title for the zone.
  • Under Region, select a Country/Region. You can search for or type a country or region. You can select multiple countries or regions for a single zone.

  • Check Provide Pin Code at state level if you want to define the delivery area using postal codes.
  • In the Pin Codes field, enter the postal codes for the delivery area. You can enter multiple postal codes separated by commas. You can also enter a range of postal codes using a hyphen (for example, 10001-10010).
  • Click + Add Another Region to add more countries, states, or locations to the zone.
  • Click Save.

Click Save & Add Rate if you want to create the zone and immediately add a shipping rate.
