Hi @Ssssiii ,

Regarding your issue, here’s how to set up your shipping options:

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.

  2. Click on the New profile button in the “Shipping” section.

  3. In the new profile, define your shipping zones (the regions you will ship to) and set up shipping rates for each zone. You can add various shipping methods, such as standard shipping, express shipping, etc.

  4. After configuring your shipping options, make sure to save your settings.

This should enable customers to choose their preferred shipping method during checkout and complete their purchases.
