Setup Geolocation Zones for Delivery Timer

The Default Timer that comes with the out-of-the-box settings is suitable for most merchants who ship to a primary country.

Do not add a Geolocation for your own primary country or it will overwrite your Default Timer settings. For example, if your store is based in the US and you add a Geolocation for the US, it will overwrite your Default Timer settings. Only do this for each state where you may have a different transit time requirement.

If you ship occasional international orders, you can simply include a note in the message indicating that the delivery cost will be calculated at checkout.

However, for merchants who frequently ship to multiple countries, there is a feature called Geolocation zones that can be used to provide different lead and delivery times for these countries

If you want to set up geolocation zones, follow the instructions in the video provided below:

Step 1) Click “Add Zone”

Step 2) Select the Zones (Countries or Specific regions)

Step 3) Edit the newly created Zone

Step 4) Enable and Save

Once these steps are completed, customers will see a selector on the frontend. If their IP address is within the region covered by a specific zone, it will be set as the default zone if it is active.

Currently, Geolocation Zones will overwrite Rules. If you created Rules prior to the Geolocation feature (June 2023), they may not include the Country parameter. You can include this manually using {{ country }} or recreate the Rule.
