How to manually set up a Domestic Shipping Zone

This article explains how to override Swap's default domestic zone detection when you fulfil orders from a country that differs from your store's registered address.

When this is needed

By default, Swap determines your domestic shipping zone from your store's registered physical address. If you operate a fulfilment centre in a different country and need that country treated as your domestic market, you'll need to set this manually.

Example: your store address is in the United Kingdom but you fulfil from a warehouse in Germany. Swap would normally treat the UK as domestic, but you need Germany treated as domestic instead.

How to set a manual domestic zone

  1. Go to Shipping in the Swap Dashboard.

  2. Create a new shipping zone or open an existing one.

  3. Add the fulfilment country to the zone.

  4. In the zone name, include the word "domestic" — for example, Domestic - Germany.

Swap identifies the word "domestic" in the zone name and treats it as the domestic zone, regardless of your store's registered address.

⚠️ Only one domestic zone can be active at a time. This does not require changing your Shopify billing address or primary location.
