Have you encountered this error while trying to place a test order or noticed it when customers try to make a purchase from your Shopify store?
When this error message happens it typically means that the product(s) in the cart are having trouble making a clear path to a shipping rate. There’s a few reasons this could be happening, but it’s often caused by the way shipping has been set up. To resolve this issue, you’ll need to check a few different settings and configurations within your Shopify admin:

Check Your Shipping Settings

Steps

2. Click on Settings (located in the bottom left corner).
   
   
3. Navigate to Shipping and Delivery.
   
   
4. Ensure that this section is correctly set up with your shipping provider and products.

Verify Shipping Profiles

Steps

1. Go to Settings > Shipping Profiles.
   
   
2. Edit the active shipping profile and double-check if the product is listed under the correct default shipping profile.
   
   
3. If you’re using multiple shipping profiles, ensure that the product is selected in the appropriate profile.

Review Market Settings

Steps

1. Open the Market settings.
   
   
2. Navigate to Settings > Markets.
   
   
3. Check the countries or regions where you don’t sell.

Check Shipping Zones and Rates

Steps

4. Check for active markets and verify that targeted regions are not accidentally excluded.
