Rates for other countries

Every country you ship to gets one rate of its own. A country with no rate cannot be checked out to, and no country ever borrows another country's rate.

Nigeria can be priced by state, LGA and area. Every other country is one place: it has one rate, which covers every address in it, or it has none and shoppers there cannot check out.

While you have no rate outside Nigeria, Delivery rates says so above the list ("No rate outside Nigeria, so shoppers abroad cannot check out"), with Add a rate. Shipping only within Nigeria is a fine choice; the notice is there so it is a choice.

Add a rate for a country

  1. On Settings → Shipping and delivery, choose Add rate.

  2. Under Destination, open Country and type the country's name to find it.

    Choosing the destination country
  3. Once a country other than Nigeria is chosen, Rate for is Whole country and nothing else: one rate covers the whole country.

    One rate covers the country
  4. Choose which locations it ships from, the pricing (fixed, by weight, or paid to the courier) and the delivery time, as for any rate; see Delivery rates by state and area. Choose Save.

Add one rate per country you ship to. A country never falls back to another country's rate, so a rate for Ghana says nothing about Togo.

What shoppers abroad see

Their checkout asks for a city rather than a state and LGA, and charges the country's rate.

If it does not work

  • A shopper abroad cannot check out: there is no rate for their country, or the locations that have their items do not ship there. Add a rate for that country from those locations.
