Starting point: Questions without answers

All Plugins Bundle

To set up the whole shipping scenario, they needed also different plugins like Conditional Shipping Methods to disable certain shipping methods once proper products like books are in the cart. They also wanted to show the shipping cost on product page in order to “make things a bit clearer for customers”.

“Octolize offer a range of well-designed and very powerful shipping plugins. I was told that my store set-up was impossible in WooCommerce, but I was able to get it working smoothly once I found them. They also have fantastic, friendly support available to help with the set-up or any issues that arise.
Whatever your WooCommerce shipping requirements, I would always start with Octolize.”
