Postage Zones

A Postage Zone is a limited geographical area to which you will apply delivery rules. 

These are the areas to which you deliver; each Postage Type may be enabled for each individual zone at a different price, or disabled entirely for a single zone. 

Each Zone may be enabled for Countries, Counties and/or Post Codes.

Setup

For each Country, a primary Postage Zone must be set up. By default, the United Kingdom is set to Zone 1, but this can be managed within the Countries screen. This default Postage Zone will provide a catch all for all addresses within that Country, unless they have been specifically added to another zone. 

Zone Details

Field Purpose
Display Name This is used solely within the CMS as a label for this Postage Zone
Included Countries This is a label only - to edit this content, you will have to use the Countries section of the CMS
Included Counties

This will autofill a list of Counties available to the Countries assigned to this Postage Zone

 

Expand the list and use the checkbox to select the assigned Counties

 

If left unchecked, all Counties will be included within this zone, unless specifically enabled for another zone (see below for example)
Included UK Postcodes

Enter postcodes as a comma separated list in either/both the following formats:

 

  • TA1, TA2, TA3, TA4
  • EX, BS, TA, LE

If left blank, all postcodes will be included within this zone, unless specifically enabled for another zone (see below for example)

Shipping Prices

This screen is used to amend individual shipping costs for each Postage Type. 

Key to icons

Live = is live 

Not Live = is disabled 

Edit = edit prices

Postage Types with no costs setup for a zone are disabled for that zone, and will not be selectable via the eCommerce checkout (although they will still be available for manual orders within the CMS and POS).

Postage Zone Example

Postage Zone Details
Zone 1 - United Kingdom All post codes and countries in the United Kingdom that are not explicitly mentioned in another Postage Zone. 
Zone 2 - Local Delivery Postcode - TA19
Zone 3 - Channel Islands Postcodes - GY & JE
Zone 4 - Somerset County - Somerset

In this example, a delivery to Liverpool (post code L1 9PA) would fall under Zone 1, but a delivery to Jersey (postcode JE1 8AS) would fall under Zone3. All deliveries to TA19 fall under Zone 2, unless the address is in the county of Somerset, in which case Zone 4 would be used. 

The order of priority is as follows:

Country -> Postcode -> County
