Description

The WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping calculates shipping in WooCommerce based on the total cart weight, creating tabulated rules that match weight ranges, subtotal value, and destination country. It targets those who sell physical products with varying weights (supplements, books, parts, food) and need proportional billing without installing an external calculator, replacing WooCommerce’s native simplified calculation with a conditional rules matrix.

Main Features of WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping

  • Weight-based tabulated rules
    Create multiple rules combining cart weight ranges and subtotal amount.
  • Constant or progressive pricing
    Set a fixed amount or a proportional calculation to weight, allowing both in the same rule.
  • Shipping class support
    Override the shipping calculation method for each class configured in WooCommerce.
  • Configurable weight step
    Charge shipping at each defined increment, such as 500g, rather than the gross weight.
  • Conditional free shipping
    Enable free shipping based on minimum subtotal, total weight, or another rule condition.
  • Limits and handling fee
    Configure minimum price, maximum price, minimum subtotal, maximum subtotal, and an additional handling fee.
  • Geographic segmentation
    Apply rules by country, state, or region, with support for WooCommerce Shipping Zones.

  • For users who already use WooCommerce with their own carrier and want to transform their contract table into rules within the shop.
  • Those who wish to offer free shipping from a minimum purchase value without relying on a separate promotion plugin.
