No 'Rest of World' selection for Create New Shipping Zone

Topic summary

Users are unable to find the ‘Rest of World’ option when creating new shipping zones, a feature that previously existed but appears to have been removed.

Core Issue:

  • The ‘Rest of World’ selection is missing from the shipping zone creation interface
  • Users now face the prospect of manually selecting 200+ individual countries/regions one by one
  • Multiple users report encountering this same problem with new sites

Suspected Cause:

  • The option may have been removed when the new ‘Markets’ section was introduced

Workaround Solution:

  • Collapse all geographic zones (Africa, Asia, etc.) and select them at the continent level
  • This reduces the task to checking 6 checkboxes with approximately 12 total clicks
  • Significantly faster than selecting individual countries

Status: The discussion remains open with no official explanation for the feature’s removal, but a practical workaround has been identified.

Came looking for this as well. They seem to have removed the option with the new “Markets” section. What gives?? I cannot possibly sit here and select 200+ regions one by one…
