Shipping Zones & Weight Bands
Set shipping rates by destination and product weight.
How Shipping Works
Shipping rates are calculated using a matrix of two dimensions:
- Zones — geographic regions made up of one or more countries
- Weight Bands — weight ranges (e.g. 0–500g, 500g–1kg)
Each cell where a zone meets a weight band has a price. At checkout, xVoid looks up the customer's country, finds the matching zone, totals the cart weight, finds the matching weight band, and charges the corresponding rate.
Setting Up Zones
- Go to Shipping in your dashboard
- Click Add Zone
- Name the zone (e.g. "UK", "Europe", "North America")
- Select the countries that belong to this zone
- Enable Rest of World on one zone to catch countries not covered by your other zones
Setting Up Weight Bands
- Go to the Weight Bands tab
- Click Add Weight Band
- Set the weight range (e.g. 0–500g)
- Repeat for each weight range you need
Setting Prices
Once you have zones and weight bands, you fill in the price matrix.
- Find the cell where a zone meets a weight band
- Click the cell to edit it
- Enter the shipping cost
- Leave a cell empty if you don't ship that combination
Product Weights
For the matrix to work, each physical product needs a weight.
- Edit a product
- Enter the weight in grams
- The right shipping rate is applied automatically at checkout
Free shipping: Set a price of 0 in the matrix for free shipping on specific zone/weight combinations. You can also set a free shipping threshold in Discounts.
Rest of World: Enable this on a zone to catch countries not covered by your other zones. That way every customer can check out, even if their country isn't in a named zone.
