Setting Shipping Zones and Rates on Ecomz

In order to provide shipping services through your Ecomz website, you'll have to set up your shipping zones and shipping rates!! 

The details will be provided either by your shipping provider (for example: Aramex, DHL, and Wakilni) or by your own driver! Make sure to add/import them as they are, to avoid any complications.
