Flat Rate Shipping Plugin Pro

Which orders should get a different rate?

Flat Rate Shipping Plugin Pro lets WooCommerce stores create multiple shipping methods and set conditions for when each method appears and how its cost is calculated. Rules can use a destination, products in the cart, customer details, or order values.

Set location conditions by country, state, postcode, or shipping zone. Product conditions can target simple or variable products, categories, tags, SKUs, and attributes such as color or size. User and visitor-role conditions are available, as are payment-method rules.

Cart conditions include subtotal before or after discounts, total quantity, total weight, coupons, and shipping class. Minimum and maximum limits can be set for product, category, and cart quantity, subtotal, or weight, as well as shipping-class subtotal.

How does a method calculate its charge?

Create fixed-cost, percentage-based, or custom flat-rate methods. Rates can be charged per order, per entry in the cart, or per quantity of a product. The [QTY] parameter multiplies a charge by the total number of cart entries. Percentage rules can use the cart subtotal and include a minimum or maximum shipping amount. Positive or negative values can add to or deduct from the charge.

Free shipping rules can use minimum order amounts or coupon order amounts. Schedule a method with start and end dates, days of the week, and times.

What happens when several methods match?

Choose whether customers select from the available methods, only the smallest or highest charge applies, or all applicable methods are charged. Methods can appear as radio buttons or a dropdown. You can set a default method, limit a method to logged-in users, add tooltip descriptions, and enable or disable shipping tax calculations.

The plugin also supports logging, importing and exporting shipping zones and methods, and cloning configured table-rate methods.

Set up rules for checkout

Install the plugin in your WordPress and WooCommerce environment, then open its shipping options and create a method. Choose the conditions that determine when it applies, enter its cost calculation, and select how it appears. Review the resulting checkout settings before making the method available to customers.
