Why Does CS-Cart Show a Shipping Error After the Customer Changes Their Address?

Changing a delivery address can invalidate a previously selected method because rates, destination zones, warehouse routes, or service availability have changed. The checkout may keep a stale shipping choice and show an error only at submission.

What to check

Reproduce an address change after selecting shipping and inspect rate recalculation, method eligibility, destination zones, warehouse assignment, and cached checkout state. Compare behavior for nearby and remote addresses.

Recommended next step

Recalculate available methods whenever the address changes and explain when the prior choice is no longer valid. Test address edits through the entire order flow, including taxes and delivery estimates.
