h2>WooCommerce Shipping Based on Location: Charge Different Shipping for UK Countries /h2>
In WooCommerce you can set many shipping zones based on WooCommerce list of countries. It’s a great feature, but it has some problems with countries that make up the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). In WooCommerce core they stand as one country – United Kingdom. With Flexible Shipping Locations add-on, you can set shipping for any of the above countries. Just add a location for these countries within a WooCommerce shipping zone.
To add shipping method to these zones, you can configure them based on certain location(postal codes), ensuring accurate and tailored shipping options for your customers.
On the screenshot above you can see the solution to this problem. Assume that you want to charge £10 for shipping to all locations except countries in the UK. If the shipping address is located in England, the shipping price will be basic £10 with additional £5 for shipping to England. It’s the same with Scotland (£6), Wales (£7) and Northern Ireland (£8). The shipping cost varies for different UK countries, ensuring tailored and accurate charges.
Flexible Shipping Locations allows easy management of many shipping rules based on location. Different shipping methods can be assigned to specific locations, enhancing the customer experience during checkout. In this example, let’s assume that you want to set different shipping rates based on the postcodes. Using core WooCommerce shipping, you have to create many shipping zones – each for every postcode. In this add-on, you can just define your locations and assign shipping methods to them in one shipping method. It works not only with postal codes but also with countries and states.
I hope that I convinced you to consider using Flexible Shipping Locations in your WooCommerce store. Whether you are shipping to UK countries or have a lot of different shipping rules – I believe that it will be a great answer to shipping based on location in WooCommerce.
