# ShippingZone Object

Represents a shipping zone in the shop. Zones are the concept used only for grouping shipping methods in the dashboard, and are never exposed to the customers directly.

```graphql
type ShippingZone implements Node, ObjectWithMetadata {
  id: ID!
  privateMetadata: [MetadataItem!]!
  privateMetafield(
    key: String!
  ): String
  privateMetafields(
    keys: [String!]
  ): Metadata
  metadata: [MetadataItem!]!
  metafield(
    key: String!
  ): String
  metafields(
    keys: [String!]
  ): Metadata
  name: String!
  default: Boolean!
  priceRange: MoneyRange
  countries: [CountryDisplay!]!
  shippingMethods: [ShippingMethodType!]
  warehouses: [Warehouse!]!
  channels: [Channel!]!
