# Print by shipping method or zone at a WooCommerce printer location with BizPrint Shipping Mapping

Section: Manage

> Use the Shipping Mapping add-on to make a BizPrint printer location print only WooCommerce orders that use certain shipping methods.

This page shows you how to make a [printer location](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer-location) print only orders with certain shipping methods, for example sending local delivery orders to one [printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer) and posted orders to another. It is for WooCommerce store owners who use the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce) with the Shipping Mapping Add-on for Print Manager, and it works with both desktop and Android [stations](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station).

## Before you start

- Install and activate the Shipping Mapping Add-on for Print Manager. Add-ons are included with some plans (see [BizPrint pricing](https://getbizprint.com/pricing/)). See [Install a BizPrint add-on in WordPress](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/install-an-add-on/).
- Set up your shipping zones and shipping methods in WooCommerce first. Shipping Mapping lists the zones and methods you already have.
- Create the printer location you want to limit. See [Create a printer location in the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-printer-location/).
- For an Android station, see [Set up a WooCommerce printer location for an Android station with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/android-printer-location/). Both [**Output Format**](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#output-format) choices work there.

## Choose shipping methods, not zones

The **Shipping Mapping** section lets you pick **Shipping Zone(s)**, **Shipping Method(s)**, or both. We recommend choosing shipping methods. The location prints an order when the shipping method the customer chose is one you selected.

If you need to separate orders by area, give each area its own shipping methods in WooCommerce, and select those methods.

## Set up Shipping Mapping

1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress.
2. Open the **Printers** tab.
3. Click the name of the printer location you want to limit in the **Description** column.
4. Find the **Shipping Mapping** section.
5. Choose **Custom** in the drop-down list. More settings appear.
6. Tick **Print only selected Shipping Zone and Method**. This checkbox is what turns the filter on. If you leave it unticked, the location still prints every order, even with **Custom** chosen.
7. Click the **Shipping Method(s)** box.
8. Choose a shipping method.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each method you want this location to print.
10. Leave **Shipping Zone(s)** empty, as recommended in [Choose shipping methods, not zones](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/shipping-mapping/#choose-shipping-methods-not-zones).
11. Click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the page.

To print every order at this location again:

1. Choose **All** in the **Shipping Mapping** drop-down list.
2. Click **Save Changes**.

## Picking the right shipping methods

- **Each method belongs to one zone.** In WooCommerce, a method such as “Flat rate” in one zone is a different method from “Flat rate” in another zone. Select every one you want. When two methods have the same name, the list adds the zone name in brackets after the second one, for example “Flat rate (Europe)”.
- **Only methods in your own zones are listed.** Methods in the WooCommerce zone for locations not covered by your other zones do not appear in the list, so they cannot be selected.
- **Zones and methods are combined with “or”.** If you select both, an order prints when it matches any selected zone or any selected method.

## Good to know

- **Orders without shipping do not print here.** When you select only shipping methods and no zones, as recommended, an order with no shipping method, such as an order with only virtual or downloadable products, does not print at this location.
- **It applies to every print to this location.** Shipping Mapping applies to [automatic printing](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#automatic-printing) and to orders you print by hand from the order screen. If you print an order by hand to this location and the order does not match, nothing prints at this location.
- **Other mapping add-ons add more rules.** If the same location also uses Product Mapping or Metadata Mapping, an order has to pass every rule to print there.
- **Locations set to All print everything.** If another location on **All** uses the same printer, that printer gets every order as well.
- **Changes apply to new prints.** Saving new settings does not print anything again.
