Shipping Regions
You can specify two types of shipping regions for the ‘Ship to User Address’ shipping services:
•Country-based region: The ‘Ship to User Address’ can be anywhere in the specified country/countries or states.
•Zip code-based region: The zip/postal code of the ‘Ship to User Address’ must be included in the list of codes specified for this region.
A message informs shoppers to use a different shipping service if they enter an address which is located outside the region.
