Configuring delivery countries & shipping
Required to get started
- Access to the 21.Shop administration
Step 1: Manage country groups
- In the shop administration, go to
Settings → Delivery countries / Shipping. - Select an existing country group (e.g. Country Group 1) or create a new one.
Country groups allow you to assign the same shipping methods to multiple countries.
Step 2: Edit country group
- Open the desired country group.
- You will be taken to the editing screen.
Here you can:
- Set a minimum quantity surcharge
- Determine whether VAT is charged on shipping costs
- Display additional cost information
- Configure shipping methods for the country group
Step 3: Configure shipping method
- Select a shipping method within the country group (e.g. ‘PostPac Economy’).
- Open the editing screen for the shipping method.
The following settings are available:
- Customise the name of the shipping method
- Define shipping cost exemption
- Shipping costs based on:
- Weight
- Price
- Flat rate
- Configure local collection
Note: Save your changes before leaving the screen.
Step 4: Assign payment methods
After returning to the country group overview, you can specify which payment methods are accepted for this country group.
- Add payment methods
- Remove payment methods
Step 5: Specify the main delivery country
Under Delivery countries / Shipping, you can define the main delivery country.
The following options are available:
- Switzerland
- Liechtenstein
- Italy
- France
- Austria
- Germany
The main delivery country influences, among other things, the standard display at checkout.
Step 6: Manage countries not served
You can explicitly define countries as not serviced.
- If a country is listed in the list of countries not served, it is considered blocked.
- If you remove a country from this list, it will be listed as serviced again.
