Description

The addon Conditional Shipping Methods adds conditional visibility rules to WooCommerce shipping methods, allowing you to display or hide shipping options based on criteria such as cart weight, total value, customer location, day of the week, and time. As a component of the Octolize ecosystem, it integrates natively with real-time rate plugins for UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL Express, making shipping rules more precise and tailored to each purchase scenario.
