# Set a shipping rule's configuration

> Sets the zones and rate of a shipping rule and returns the rule.

Send the configuration under `configuration`: `zones` lists each zone by its UUID with dashes in `zone`, and `rate` gives the rate's `name`, `method` such as `FLAT_RATE`, `handling_cost` and `shipping_cost`.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The SDK samples get their client from credentials your app registers once when it starts, as shown in [Authentication](https://exsited.mintlify.site/authentication.md#set-up-a-client). To try the call here, click **Try it**, set `host` to your Exsited API host name and paste an access token from [Get an access token](https://exsited.mintlify.site/api-reference/authentication/get-an-access-token.md). To send a raw JSON body instead of filling in fields, copy the cURL sample and edit its `-d` payload.
