# Advance Shipping Methods

**EasyParcel Shipping** is a [**carrier-specific method**](/manual-woocommerce/shipping/default-shipping-methods.md#advance-shipping-methods) that integrates with WooCommerce websites, enabling you to easily arrange shipments for your customers' orders.

It offers live rates from various couriers and allows you to configure variable shipping rates based on your preferences. See more at: [EasyParcel Shipping](/manual-woocommerce/shipping/easyparcel-shipping.md).

Before you add EasyParcel as a shipping method in the shipping settings of WooCommerce, it is necessary to set up the [Shipping Zones](/manual-woocommerce/shipping/default-shipping-methods.md#shipping-zones). These shipping zones will define the regions to which you will be offering shipping services.
