Custom Shipping Zones for WooCommerce lets you add custom states/regions to any country. WooCommerce ships with a fixed list of states for each country — this plugin lets you define your own (for example a district, governorate, county, or any sub-region). Once added, your custom states appear in WooCommerce’s own state list, so you can target them when building shipping zones, setting up tax rates, or restricting selling and shipping locations.
This plugin does not replace WooCommerce’s shipping zone manager — it feeds it. You keep using WooCommerce Settings Shipping exactly as before; you simply have extra states/regions to choose from.
Features
- Add custom states/regions to any WooCommerce country.
- Manage and delete your custom states/regions from a dedicated WooCommerce settings tab.
- Your custom states appear anywhere WooCommerce uses states — shipping zones, tax rates, and address fields.
- Lightweight: no extra database tables; it uses WooCommerce’s official state list.
Usage
Adding custom states/regions
- Go to WooCommerce Settings Custom States / Regions.
- Select a country and add one or more custom states/regions (each gets an auto-generated code).
- Save. Your new states are now part of WooCommerce’s state list for that country.
Using them in WooCommerce
- Go to WooCommerce Settings Shipping and add or edit a zone — your custom states are now selectable there (and in tax and address settings).
- Return to the Custom States / Regions tab anytime to add or delete states/regions.
- Upload the
custom-shipping-zonesfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the
Pluginsmenu in WordPress. - Add and manage your custom states/regions via WooCommerce Settings Custom States / Regions, then use them under WooCommerce Settings Shipping.
It adds custom states/regions to a country. WooCommerce ships with a fixed list of states per country; this plugin lets you add your own (a district, county, governorate, or any sub-region) so they appear in WooCommerce’s state list.
First add your states/regions under WooCommerce Settings Custom States / Regions. Then go to WooCommerce Settings Shipping and create or edit a zone — your custom states are now selectable, just like WooCommerce’s built-in ones.
No. It does not manage shipping zones for you. It only adds the states/regions that you then use inside WooCommerce’s own shipping zone (and tax/address) settings.
