Advanced shipping price rules
Let’s say a store wants to charge different shipping rates for different categories of product — $2 for t-shirts, $5 for groceries, and $7 for appliances category. And these rules only apply to deliveries in New York City where the cart subtotal is below $500.
With advanced shipping price rules are those conditions, the store can apply multiple rules with multiple shipping fees. advanced rules support conditions based on:
Product name
Category name
Total quantity in cart
Product weight
Category weight
Cart weight

You can also specify the following for your shipping methods:
Shipping price
Duration for which your shipping method is valid
Tooltip description to show on hover
Shipping charges ($0 for free shipping)
Taxability status (whether the shipping price is taxable or not)
Estimated delivery time
09 Add Shipping Method form
There are 6 types of conditional operators available to apply here:
Equal to (=)
Not equal to (! =)
Less than (<) Less than or equal to (< =) Greater than (>)
Greater than or equal to (> =)
Note: Some of these operators are disabled for some types of rules because all operators cannot be applied for all rules.
Master Settings
When you create multiple flat rate shipping methods for your WooCommerce shop, you run the risk of conflicting conditions. To avoid this issue, use the Master Settings to specify which shipping method should apply in these cases:
Minimum shipping charges
Maximum shipping charges
Buyer’s choice
Force all the shipping methods on the plugin

To configure master settings, check the main plugin page – below the list of existing shipping methods.
Custom shipping zones
WooCommerce store owners generally have to apply multiple rules to the same set of locations. For example, you might want a free shipping rule for a certain set of cities and a flat-rate shipping charge for a certain set of countries. Normally, you’d have to add each of these locations separately to each rule, but custom shipping zones streamlines this process. Create custom zones that include multiple locations.
For countries
Add one or more countries to your shipping zone, and re-use the set of countries by adding the shipping zone to your shipping methods.

Note: These conditions can be applied alone as well as in groups. When used in combination (i.e. when multiple rules are applied to one method), there will be a collective effect on the overall flat-rate rule.

Why should we offer free shipping to some customers?
Free shipping for all your buyers isn’t practical, especially when you’re shopping in multiple countries. But for local customers, it’s a great way to increase sales — unsurprisingly, more than 90% of people prefer buying from the stores offering free shipping for their location. Using the advanced flat rate shipping plugin for WooCommerce, you can easily apply free shipping to certain locations.
Why offer discounts to customers buying in bulk?
A discount when someone buys products worth more than $1000, a discount when someone buys more than two items of one product type, a discount when a buyer orders a dozen t-shirts – these are all common bulk shipping discounts, used to attract buyers and encourage them to spend more. If a customer has $900 worth of items in their cart and sees that you’re offering free shipping for $1000+ purchases, they’ll probably look for other possible purchases.
Our plugin enables your shop to charge flat-rate amount for shipping and apply advanced rules related to it, so offering discounts becomes hassle-free.
