This plugin does work with the latest WooCommerce, it just does not use their zones. It will continue to use the same zones it has for the last few years until verison 4.0 is ready.

Please note, however, that there is no free or trial version of this plugin. There are many Table Rate methods on the market for WooCommerce, but this is the only that Bolder Elements has created and manages.

I am happy to look into whether or not this is an issue with this plugin, but I am not entirely sure I understood everything here. I tried entering a Thai label for the Free Shipping Override on the demo website, but it did correctly save in the settings. When I go to my Cart, everything looks well.

When I view the source in the browser, you will see an ID with a lot of percentages and such. This is because the plugin currently uses the title in order to create an ID, but the ID is encoded which causes these symbols in non-latin based languages. It’s something that has been noted and will definitely be reworked in 4.0.

Generally it does not cause an issue, however. It’s simply a weird shipping ID. It seems the issue may be since the latest WooCommerce. From the looks of it, these percentages are now no longer accepted a valid shipping ID. So based on my testing, it looks like the option is not selectable, yes?

Please open a support ticket here so that I can share files with you. I will do my best to get a temporary solution until version 4.0 is ready. http://bolderelements.net/support/

One question for you though, do you have this same problem in the table of rates? Are the options here not selectable either?

Oh, my apologies, you must have declared latin based Identifiers, correct? This is the easiest solution from the table of rates, but since it is not option for the override, it becomes difficult. I see no reason it has to be based on the title you provide so I know what direction I can go with in this. If you open a support ticket I will gladly provide you with an updated file that can resolve this and get it working for you now.

I’m afraid there are no coupon settings with this plugin. The only way to offer free shipping is to add a ‘Free Shipping’ method through WooCommerce that requires a valid coupon in order to be shown. This would then add an extra option of free shipping on top of whatever the Table Rate method returns.

If you really want to remove the expedition option, the following code tutorial may be able help: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/hide-other-shipping-methods-when-free-shipping-is-available/

I’m afraid I do not think this would be possible at this time. The plugin can only choose before and after discounts (and this feature is intended for coupons, I’m not sure how it would work with your role based product discounts). But choosing to use the original price for the condition and the discounted price for the shipping cost is the trick. It might be possible in the future, but not at this time.

Sure, that should be possible! This plugin offers a ‘deny row’ that allows you to remove a shipping option when all conditions are met instead of adding one. You can read more about it here:

http://www.bolderelements.net/support/knowledgebase/deny-rates/

Thanks for the quick response. Looking at the screenshot, it looks like it is not a product based deny rule but zones and weights… Not everything I sell is restricted, only certain parts and they could be put into a product category only for those restricted parts, but then the plug-in would require a category check… Doesn’t look like it does that based on the screenshot.

I’m sorry if I did not explain it clearly, you can use shipping classes to define certain products. Every product is allowed one shipping class, so if you created one for the products you cannot sell in certain states, you would be able to assign it to each of those products. Then you would have a deny row for a zone that contains those states, and the new shipping class. This way when the plugin finds that a customer has matched these two requirements, it will remove the shipping option you designate.

The tutorial does not explain every possibility, but highlights the idea just to explain how it works.

Sure, however I’m afraid I do not know about the postal code issue. This is more of a limitation of WooCommerce, as it checks for formatting but not so much that the postal code is legit. For example, when I am testing my plugin, for the US I would enter 00000 and increment by 1 for each test in order to work around the cache. None of those postal codes are legit, but they follow the allowed syntax of 5 all number characters. I am sure there are plugins out there that can verify this, but it would require connecting to an API that is managed and always updated with what postal codes are valid. So in the US, we can connect to the postal service (USPS) API and ask if the postal code or town name is in their system. I would recommend checking for something like that but for the Netherlands.

Thanks very much for your tips! I checked the options and informed my client.

Not a problem, happy to help

It sounds like this plugin could help! This method uses shipping classes to determine which items are in the cart. If you set the Condition field to ‘Per Class’ it would calculate a rate for each class/item separately. This way you can have different rules including a flat fee for all items in the group, or a fee based on the quantity.

In terms of carts with multiple classes, you have three options:

• Combine the costs for each class into one shipping price
• Charge only the cost for the highest priority shipping class
• Charge only the cost for the class with the highest shipping cost

To the best of my knowledge. I have not found any issues as of today.

Definitely! You would setup all of your subtotal ranges and shipping prices in the table. These would be your conditions. Then the plugin will look at the customer’s information and find the correct rate from the table based on the conditions you setup.

Feel free to give the demo a try if you would like to see it work in real time before purchase: http://demo.bolderelements.net/woocommerce-table-rate-shipping/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=shipping&section=table_rate_shipping

Definitely, it simply works as it always has, using the same zones as before. Version 4.0 will introduce usage in the new WooCommerce shipping zones. Until then they just operate side by side.

Thanks!!

Yes, I believe that could work. You can setup this plugin to the Per Class condition (with a shipping class assigned to your two special products). The plugin must account for all items in the cart, so if there are any items in the cart that do not belong to this shipping class (under the Per Class method only) it would not return a rate because it could not find a valid entry for the other items. It sounds like this is what you are looking for, yes?

Maybe, it will get easier with version 4.0, but at the moment the plugin can only do volume. Now, if you only have two of the dimensions fields filled in, then that could be area because the third element is missing for volume. But I”m afraid if all three are filled in, it wouldn’t be able to separate the area from the volume.

Please also note that this is a shipping method. The ‘handling fee’ generally implies something in addition to shipping, so if this is what you mean, then the plugin wouldn’t be able to help.

Thank you.

This plugin should be able to handle the shipping basics, however it won’t be able to add the extra charge for cash on delivery. There are currently no options for that type of condition. I have another plugin that could handle that part separately but it’s not s shipping method.

Certainly! If you do not specify a price for a certain scenario then no shipping would be returned. Without shipping options the customer will not be able to proceed with their order. Once you have your zones setup, you would use the Based On condition to setup your minimums. For example:

Zone = City A
Based On = Price
Min = 15
Max = *
Cost = $x

With this row, customers in City A will only receive a shipping cost if the subtotal equals $15 or more.

HAHAHA, I guess I already purchased this plugin for a client at some point in the past, but my above question still applies. Thanks,

I’m afraid it won’t be able to handle the last part at this time. It treats each item and class as separate entities, so it won’t be able to charge full price for one item followed by the smaller price for the other classes in the cart.

I’m afraid the plugin does not use City names, it can use postal codes, however. I am not familiar with the system in South Africa, but you have a postal code field for this country in your WooCommerce checkout page, you could use that.

We do have postal codes. I am going to purchase the plugin and hope that I come right

Kind Regards

Excellent! If you have any questions, we do have a support site happy to help. You can open tickets at http://bolderelements.net/support/tickets/new/

I’m sorry, I do not quite understand what you are saying here. A common issue experienced is when there are items of different classes in the cart, no shipping is returned, but this would happen under the Per Item condition as well. Could you please describe the issue in more detail, and possible link to a screenshot of your settings table so I can better understand?

I’m afraid not. I don’t see a way for the plugin to only charge 3% on the second item. It would charge the 3% for both items in the cart.

According to CodeCanyon there is no purchase code on this account. If you purchased your license through another account such as a hired developer you would need to contact them for the code. You can download the purchase code certificate in the Downloads section of your CodeCanyon account, or at the top of the support tab for this product.
