In your new shipping zone, look for an option to "Define rules".
You’ll see different types of rules you can make:

Price-based: This changes the shipping cost depending on how much the customer buys.
Always/Flat rate: This is when you charge the same amount no matter what.
Choose the type of rule you want to make. Let’s start with a flat rate:
Select the "Always" option from the dropdown.
Enter the amount you want to charge, like $5.00.
Click on "Add New" button to save the rule.
If you want to add more rules, like Weight or Price, Select the option from the dropdown and enter the details for that rule and click "Add New" to save the rule.
