What i want to do is, add all the areas of Attiki as zones so when the users add their shipping address they would have to select the area, not the country or the state.

But you could also just use a custom field of the type "single dropdown" with the different values for the different areas. Using states with a custom zone field would be the best solution if you need to restrict the shipping methods based on the selection made by the customer in that field.

So would it work like this? Attiki=State and Areas=Shipping zones Thank you Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzkwNzY3My1jcmVhdGUtc2hpcHBpbmctem9uZXM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86358 - Thank you received: 14293 - - 2 years 9 months ago [\#358681](#358681) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Create shipping zones](/forum/4-how-to/907673-create-shipping-zones#358681 "-- HikaShop version -- : 5.0.3 -- Joomla version -- : 5.0.2 Hi!

Thank you")* Hi, If you have states for your areas, you can directly select each state in the "zone" setting of your shipping methods. You don't necessarily need to have shipping zones, unless you want to group several states for the same shipping method.
