There are a few ways to ship internationally on your site.  This Answer will go over how to setup some standard international shipping Conditions & methods.  To see how to setup Bongo to ship internationally please click here for a quick video or Here to see written instructions and more help relating to Bongo.

 

When setting up International shipping conditions and methods you will need to define where in the world you are shipping.  You can do this by creating a "zone" for the places you wish to ship to.

Go to YourDomain.com > Modules > Ecommerce: E-Commerce (m11) > Shipping Zones

 

Next choose the countries you wish to ship to and click the "add item" button to add it to the list on the left.  All of the countries in that list will be countries that you can ship to.  Once they are all added you can click "add" to create the new zone for international shipping. (in this example we are going to add Spain, and we are going to name this zone Spain so it is easy to identify later)

Now that you have your destinations selected and your zone created you will now need to create a shipping condition that will use that new zone.

 

Go to YourDomain.com > Modules > Ecommerce: E-Commerce (m11) > Shipping Conditions/Methods

and click on "add Condition".

Then you will want to name your condition relevant to where you are shipping so that it is easy to create Methods for it.

Here is a breakdown of the Condtion Settings

 

  1. You can limit the order amount in the "order total range".  This is most used if you wish to have a minimum order total before shipping to this particular area
  2. You can specify a weight range.  If you sell heavy items you may not want to ship them internationally.  If so you can set the top range weight to a smaller amount.
  3. The destination zone is where you choose the zone that you previously created
  4. Sources are setup in YourDomain.com > Modules > Ecommerce: E-Commerce (m11) > Shipping Sources.  If you only want to offer shipping from one particular source this is where you can specify one or any source
  5. You can restrict what itesms are shipped by clicking the drop downs next to "items" and selecting "items selected" then choosing specific categories or items that you wish to ship to this particular area, or by choosing "all except selected " if you have only a few items you wish to exclude from shipping to this area.
  6. You can also specify if this shipping option applies to a particular group of buyers or only certain buyers.
  7. You can also exclude p.o. boxes by checking the bottom box and cicking save.

Once you click "save" it will take you back to the main Shipping Conditions/Methods screen.  Now you will need to determine what Shipper you wish to use for shipping internationally.  This is done by adding shipping methods.  

 

Click on "add method" and choose the Condition you just created and then Choose what shipper you wish to use (UPS, Fedex, USPS, DHL, Freightquote) then click "add".
