With Markets Online shopping cart software you can easily setup various shipping destinations . Shipping Destinations are zones to which your products can be sold and shipped. These zones affect shipping calculations and tax calculations. When you start setting up your shipping destinations, all the countries and states/provinces activated for your store by the admin are placed into the default zone. You can then make more zones and then define shipping and tax rates for them.

To add a shipping destination (zone):

1. Click on Shipping Destinations in the Inventory menu, the 'Shipping Destinations' form will appear.

3. Enter a name for the Shipping Destination you are going to add. Click on Update. The zone will be created.

codes and/or addresses to it. Use the expanded 'Zone details' form to do so.

The Shipping Destination details' form is divided into 5 subsections: 'Countries', 'States', 'Cities', 'Zip/Postal codes' and 'Addresses'.

The 'Set' side of each of these subsections is meant to display locations pertaining to the
destination zone you are editing. When you first start editing the details of a zone you created,
the 'Set' side is empty. Your task is to move the locations pertaining to the zone being edited
from the 'Unset' side to the 'Set' side. It means that if you want your zone to contain, for example,
United Kingdom, you should select United Kingdom (Great Britain) from the list of countries in the
'Unset' column and click on the '<<' button. 'United Kingdom (Great Britain)' is supposed to
appear in the 'Set' field. You can add more than one country at a time: hold Ctrl while clicking on
the names of countries with your mouse to select multiple countries, then click on the '<<' button.
All of the selected countries will be moved to the 'Set' side. The 'Quick select' feature allows you
to quickly select countries by regions. If you click, for example, on the link 'North America', all
North-American countries will be automatically selected in the 'Unset' list so you could move
them to your zone. The '>>' button removes countries from the destination zone by moving them
back from the 'Set' to the 'Unset' column.

After you have added countries to your destination zone, add states/provinces. The
states/provinces you want to include into your zone also need to be moved to the 'Set' side of the
'States' subsection.

areas.
