Shipping Regions

Creating Delivery Profiles

• The first profile is auto-created when Stores is installed.
• Up to 99 profiles per site.

Adding Regions

• Up to 100 regions per profile.
• Each region requires: name, destinations (array of country codes), active flag.

Domestic Region

Set countryCode to match site_context.country.

International Region

Use multiple country codes, or leave destinations empty to represent "Rest of World."

Assigning Carriers

• Up to 25 carriers per region.
• Use appId to identify the carrier.

Enabling Backup Rates

CRITICAL -- set backupRate.active = true on each carrier. The backup rate amount should be 5-10% of effective AOV.

Without a backup rate, if the carrier service fails the shipping option silently disappears from checkout.

External Carrier Detection

• Shippo appId: 2b1943e2-3fc2-47bc-be56-3d402e5966d7
• If ALL carriers in a region are external, skip that region -- it is externally managed.
• If the region has a mix of external and Wix-native carriers, treat it as hybrid and only configure the Wix-native carriers.

Business Context Filter for International (MANDATORY)

Check the site's industry. If it matches any of the following categories, DO NOT recommend international shipping:

food, restaurant, grocery, bakery, catering, perishable, fresh, meat, produce, dairy, drink, beverage

Perishable goods require cold chain logistics that standard international shipping does not support.

Identifying International Regions

A region is considered "international" if any of the following are true:

• Region name contains "international" or "internacional" (case-insensitive)
• destinations[] is empty (Rest of World)
• destinations include countries OTHER than the site country
