What to do if you get the Shopify error 'this order can't be shipped to your location'?

Have you encountered this error while trying to place a test order or noticed it when customers try to make a purchase from your Shopify store?



When this error message happens it typically means that the product(s) in the cart are having trouble making a clear path to a shipping rate. There's a few reasons this could be happening, but it's often caused by the way shipping has been set up. To resolve this issue, you'll need to check a few different settings and configurations within your Shopify admin:

1. Check Your Shipping Settings



Steps:


Log in to your Shopify account.
Click on Settings (located in the bottom left corner).
Navigate to Shipping and Delivery.
Ensure that this section is correctly set up with your shipping provider and products.



2. Verify Shipping Profiles



Steps:


Go to Settings > Shipping Profiles.
Edit the active shipping profile and double-check if the product is listed under the correct default shipping profile.
If you’re using multiple shipping profiles, ensure that the product is selected in the appropriate profile.



3. Review Market Settings



Steps:


Open the Market settings.
Navigate to Settings > Markets.
Check the countries or regions where you don’t sell.
To resolve the error, add a new market for the regions where you want to sell.



Note: More information about Shopify Markets can be found here.

4. Check Shipping Zones and Rates



Steps:


Confirm that your shipping zones cover the customer’s location.
Verify that weight-based shipping rates are accurately assigned to products.
Ensure that product variants are included in the applicable shipping profiles.
Check for active markets and verify that targeted regions are not accidentally excluded.

Once you have these shipping settings, you should be able to proceed with checkout.
