- Click Settings in the expanded WooCommerce menu.
- Click the Shipping tab.
- Edit the Shipping Zone by clicking the Edit link or the zone name.
- Reorder the Shipping Methods by dragging and dropping the shipping method.
- To do so, select and hold the three bars on the left-side of the shipping method name (local pickup, flat rate, or free shipping) and drag it up or down in the list.
