Bluehost AI Store: How to Create and Configure Shipping Zones

Shipping zones allow you to set shipping rules for different locations. You can create zones to offer specific shipping methods, rates, and delivery options based on your customers' locations.

The Zones tab in the Bluehost AI Store allows you to create, edit, and manage destination groups. It also includes a Default Zone, which is used for any locations that do not match a custom shipping zone.

This article will guide you through managing shipping zones in the AI Store dashboard.
