# Shipping and payment

Shipping and payment is the second of the three steps in the final order sequence:

1. Shopping cart (Basket)
2. **Shipping and payment**
3. Checkout

After you have items in the Shopping cart, Shipping and payment section should be filled.

The following sections must be filled in a sequence:

1. [Shipping country](#1.-shipping-country)
2. [Shipping method](#2.-shipping-method)
3. [Payment method](#3.-payment-method)

## 1. Shipping country
