Yes you should be able to do this with this plugin. Each rate is assigned to a ‘zone’ that you create. Each zone can have one or several postal codes, it’s up to you, and this plugin will only ship to locations you’ve specified in your zones.

I’m afraid not. That’s a rather customized shipping method and I’m afraid I don’t know of any other plugins off hand than can handle this scenario.

The Min is the minimum weight, and the max is maximum weight. You just need to create a new row for every range you have and be sure not to overlap any. You will also need to manually assign the weight for each product in order for it to calculate properly.

So for example: Min = 0, Max = 1, Cost = 10 Min = 1.01, Max = 1.5, Cost = 15 And so on…

If you have multiple postal codes in the settings for your zones, please ensure that there are only commas separating them, no spaces please. I already an improved functionality for this in the next version, but right now spaces are not handled well.

Congrats for an excellent work creating this plugin. Thank you so much for the tech support in putting it up and running in my webstore.

thank you I hope it works well from this point out

Either plugins should be able to handle this. To biggest difference between the two is international support. The table rate plugin allows you to set different costs for the different price ranges in different countries.

I’m afraid I went through the whole process and my order successfully placed with free shipping. Are you receiving a specific error that you can copy/paste here?

I found out the error occurs because I hide the table rate shipping when free shipping available. How can I do that without error?

p/s: you can test with the code below.

// Hide ALL shipping options when free shipping is available add_filter( ‘woocommerce_available_shipping_methods’, ‘hide_all_shipping_when_free_is_available’ , 10, 1 );

• Hide ALL Shipping option when free shipping is available *
• @param array $available_methods */ function hide_all_shipping_when_free_is_available( $available_methods ) { }

if( isset( $available_methods['free_shipping'] ) ) :

// Get Free Shipping array into a new array
$freeshipping = array();
$freeshipping = $available_methods['free_shipping'];

// Empty the $available_methods array
unset( $available_methods );

// Add Free Shipping back into $avaialble_methods
$available_methods = array();
$available_methods[] = $freeshipping;

endif;

return $available_methods;

You may want to try this:

That’s the only thing I notice, all shipping methods need to have a valid ID that can be passed between the pages. This one is blank, so it would seem that you’re not passing a shipping method through which is a requirement if the ‘needs_shipping’ variable is set to true.

Please let me know if that helps.

Thank you for responding to my note. My site is under construction now until I resolve this issue. I sent you log in information to your profile, so you can try from the backside. Thanks

It would seem that there is a conflict between this plugin and the language being used. I’ve corrected this error for you on your website and will include the update in the next version. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Thank you very much for fixing so quick! It’s working very smooth. Best

I want to display the shipping costs to customers.

But do you mean just a table of possibilities? This would have to be done manually, it’s just not that simple to try and translate the settings in a way that would make sense to the average customer. As far as what a customer will pay for their order, they can see this on the cart and checkout pages. If you want to display brief information on the customer’s cart on other pages, there are plenty of tutorials online for customizing your theme this way.

OK, my shipping is quite straightforward but I can see why it could get complicated. I’ll do it manually, I was trying to avoid having to keep the prices updated in two places.

Yes it should be able to handle this based on what I know. Bundle rate shipping with only two different prices is now a feature of this plugin. There are multiple ways you can do it as well. It can be setup for any item in a cart or a specific class.

There is also a separate table for handling charges. You can add an extra fee here for Alaska and Hawaii, or if it’s done on a per item basis you can create a separate set of rules for just this area.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your suggestions. I’m not very clear about the first one. I use the countries as defined as by WooCommerce, so if you need these to change, then I would recommend suggesting it to the folks at WooThemes via their GitHub site.

The second item would need to be a separate piece as it doesn’t pertain to shipping per say. Unless you want the message to only appear on the checkout page, it would need to be separate. However, it’s something that I’m considering for a future ‘messages’ plugin.

Number three I’m also going to be working on as well, or at least some variation there of. A CSV import/export has been highly requested due to the amount of settings fields it can support.

Thanks again! Hopefully some of these will be implemented soon.

the first one could be overcome by allowing admin who set up the shipping rates to maybe put a star or note beside particular countries which require a customs label, as the customer can experience delays, it is an odd one as most of EU dont require them, only 2 countries.

the second one yes it does pertain to shipping as the total weight of order might exceed what can be shipped via airmail thus placing the parcel into parcelforce costs and pushing cost up by treble or more, so it is often cheaper to split order into two smaller airmail packets to post, so this would need to be stated at time of selecting shipping from dropdown, so if customer sees the note saying the order exceeds the single pack weight and the order will be split into two packets to be mailed they will be understanding if the packets arrive say over two different days, this will need to be part of shipping as it would only display if order say exceeded 2kg

thanks

Hi Mark, it sounds like my plugin can handle the scenario you mentioned above. It has the ability to take into account the shipping class (which you can use to label the two different types of trees), quantity and the ability to group & charge the shipping on a per class basis. My only question, so I can better answer yours, is how did you get 4 bareroot trees in the final scenario? Will all bareroot trees no matter quantity be £18? Or if not, you may need to add multiple rows of shipping “rule” which you can use the quantity to determine the price.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

As requested, the prices are determined by weight. In this example there are two different weight ranges, 0-34.99 and 35+. There are also two shipping options: Standard and Express. The customer will see both of these options for their cart depending on its total weight. There is also another set of possible prices. I am using a shipping class called ‘Extra Large’. These are for items that may not weigh very much but are large and therefore more expensive to ship. If a customer’s cart contains one or more of these items, they will be charged the new higher rate.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I’m afraid the default value is only used when the shipping is calculated. I have it set to override the built in cookie that stores the default selected method, but it may have to pass through a page refresh. I can look into it. I know if the customer inputs their information on the cart page it will work fine. I’m not sure why it’s not updating properly for you on the checkout pages.

I’m not sure about showing the free shipping bit. There are definitely a variety of ways to do so through WooCommerce like editing the template, the pages, or setting up special messages, but through this plugin its not possible. It only deals with the shipping portion.

Many thanks for your reply, Erika.

I tried the page refresh, emptied the caches and closed the browser & deleted all cookies but when restarting, the page stilled showed a random shipping charge, e.g. the charge for shipping to remote areas in Scotland

For your information: - table rate shipping is set to be the default on the Woocommerce shipping settings page - for the time being, I have set the shipping setting to ‘hide the shipping costs until …’ but enabled the shipping calculator on the cart page.

It is a pity about the free shipping.

Many thanks for your input.

Did I misunderstand about your question for free shipping? Free shipping is definitely possible, but if you want to advertise it somewhere this is up to you. The plugin only controls shipping features, nothing else.

And I’m also unclear about the ‘random shipping charge’ issue. Is there a problem with the script or are you referring to which one is selected by default?

This plugin uses the built in country selection that comes with WooCommerce. If WooCommerce doesn’t break down this country into provinces, my plugin provides the ability to use postal codes (with wildcards) to specify the exact areas you wish to include. So for example if I wanted to include all of the cities in my region of New York, I could use 13* and that would include all cities whose zip code starts with 13.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your quick reply. This works as well with Dutch postal codes?

I’m not entirely sure of the format but it should work with all postal code types. I do my best to follow the same measures as WooCommerce so if WooCommerce can handle it, so should my plugin.

It is possible to include only certain states when creating a shipping zone, but I’m afraid dimensions is not yet supported in this plugin, only weight. Also, this plugin is a shipping method of its own, so it can work alongside the UPS method, but it cannot work with it as it’s separate.

Hope that helps!

Well I would think that you only need 3 rows of possible table rates. Firstly, you need to specify the method as ‘Per Order’ and create your two shipping zones: Out and In.

First row: Zone = Out, Based on Price, Min = 75, Max = *, Cost = 40 Second row: Zone = In, Based on Price, Min = 0, Max = 74.99, Cost = 20 Third row: Zone = In, Based on Price, Min = 75, Cost = 0

If they don’t meet any of the requirements, then they should receive the error No available shipping methods could be found. Please let me know if that works for you.

how I change this message, I got everything working a little bit ago, great plug-in by the way. But want to change this copy: “Sorry, it seems that there are no available shipping methods for your location…”

This is a WooCommerce bit. I’m not entirely sure where this line is but you could probably Google it.

Well this is a shipping method so it does also deal with ‘handling rates’ if that’s what you mean by extra cost. If you’re using the WordPress plugin WooCommerce and you’re looking to charge a customer a shipping and handling fee based any combination of price, quantity, or weight then this plugin should work for you.

It’s not currently possible but I have had a couple others request a similar feature so I will be considering for the next version. I have a few smaller items to address as well so it will hopefully be released soon.

Hi Ali, I can definitely take a look at the backend to try and help figure out the problem. I’m not entirely sure what could be wrong just from the information provided. If you’d like, please send me login credentials through a private message on my codecanyon profile. Or a screenshot should suffice as well if you would prefer this.

I don’t see any reason why it should not work. Under the per order method, you can create the appropriate lines to say if the cart only contains tickets, no shipping, but if it includes a mat or multiple mats then it will be 5 euros. You can also declare another row that states when the price is >= 49 euros it is also 0 euros. The trick is to title them properly. If you give the standard shipping and the potential free shipping the same title, it will override the other when the customer reaches 49 euros.

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions
