Problem?

Topic summary

Checkout offers only the USA as a shipping option; the store owner wants to enable worldwide shipping.

Latest guidance: Add additional countries in Shopify’s Shipping Zones settings, following the Shopify Help Center documentation link provided.

Key concept: “Shipping zones” are geographic groups (countries/regions) you define in Shopify to apply shipping rates and availability. If only a USA zone exists, checkout will only show the USA; adding more countries to zones enables shipping to those destinations.

Action items:

  • Open Shopify admin > Shipping and delivery > Manage rates.
  • Create or edit shipping zones to include desired countries/regions.
  • Set shipping rates for each zone.

Outcome/status: No confirmation of resolution yet; thread remains open. The documentation link is central to implementing the fix.
