Configure Shipping and Delivery Rates in Sparkforge Stores

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Define shipping zones by country, state, or province in Sparkforge Stores, then attach delivery rates based on cart total or product weight. Each zone supports multiple conditional rates.

Sparkforge Stores let you set manual delivery rates for ecommerce orders. You define shipping zones, then attach rates by cart total or product weight to each zone.

Where to find it

Open Sub-Account → Payments → Settings → Shipping & Delivery. From here you create zones, add states or provinces, and attach rates.

Create a shipping zone

Click Add Zone.
Pick the countries the zone covers, or drill in and select specific states or provinces.
Save the zone, then add rates inside it.

A state or province can only belong to one zone, so plan zone boundaries before adding overlapping geographies.

Rate type 1: rates by order total

Charge a flat shipping fee, or waive it once the cart hits a threshold.

Example: free shipping when the order is over $500, otherwise charge $10.
You can stack multiple tiers per zone, like $5 under $100, $10 from $100 to $500, free over $500.

Rate type 2: rates by product weight

Charge based on the total weight of the cart, useful for stores shipping bulky or heavy items.

Example: free shipping for orders weighing 0 to 10 kg, $10 above that.
Attach multiple weight tiers to a single zone for granular pricing.

Examples by use case

Scenario	Zone	Rate logic
Local same-state orders only	One state inside a country	Flat $5 under $100, free above
Heavy goods nationwide	Whole country	$15 per 0-20 kg, $30 above
International shipping	Multiple countries	$25 flat regardless of total

Tips

Test each zone with a sample cart to confirm the rate engine matches your intent.
If a customer's address falls outside every zone, checkout will block until you add a zone that covers it.
Update rates whenever your carrier costs change so margins stay intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create multiple rates inside a single zone?

Yes. Each zone supports multiple conditional rates by cart total or product weight, so you can build tiered pricing inside one zone.

Can a state belong to two different zones?

No. Once a state or province is assigned to a zone, it cannot be added to another zone in the same store.

What if a customer's location is not in any zone?

Checkout blocks the shipping step until a zone covers their address. Add a catch-all zone if you want to accept orders from any location.

Can I combine weight-based and total-based rates?

You attach one rate type per rate, but you can stack rates inside the same zone covering different scenarios. Just keep the conditions non-overlapping to avoid confusion.
