Shipping area
The Shipping area feature simplifies managing shipping rates for different locations. Rather than creating multiple rules for each geographic region, you can group multiple zones into a single shipping area, saving time and reducing complexity.
Once a Shipping area is created, you can use it as a Type in your Shipping rates, simplifying the process of managing multiple locations and zones.
