Simple WooCommerce shipping configuration

Flexible Shipping not only does its job, but it is also easy to configure. Best WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping alternative must be simple, right?

Flexible Shipping – features

Why do people think that Flexible Shipping is a great WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping alternative? That’s because of all the features this plugin includes!

First things first. The plugin lets you create unlimited shipping methods and cost rules. It has WPML and Polylang support for multilingual sites. We update Flexible Shipping regularly so it is up-to-date with WooCommerce from 3.0 to the newest one, including the 3.4.x branch.

For your convenience, we let you both import and export table rate shipping rules to a CSV file. However, the export is available only in the PRO version.

Basic Features

  • Add titles and descriptions to your shipping methods
  • Shipping cost based on cart total and/or weight
  • Minimum and maximum values for cart total and/or weight
  • Summing cost rules if they are matched – option to add costs based on cart total and weight at the same time
  • Free shipping override above entered cart total
  • Show selected shipping methods only for logged in users

Advanced Features (PRO)

What Flexible Shipping rules can be based on
Flexible Shipping PRO rules’ configuration possibilities

The PRO version gives you many more features! Here’s the list:

  • Shipping classes support
  • Shipping costs based on: product item count and/or cart line item count
  • Additional costs for a price, a weight, an item, a cart line item
  • Stopping a rule (if the rule is matched the following rules are not calculated)
  • Canceling a rule (if the rule is matched it is removed from available shipping methods at the checkout)
  • Additional calculation methods (sum, lowest cost, highest cost)
  • Maximum shipping cost per shipping method
  • Coupons support for free shipping

Flexible Shipping Locations add-on

We created an add-on that works both with the free and the PRO version of Flexible Shipping. It is called Flexible Shipping Locations and lets you add predefined locations to the table rate shipping rules inside a method.

Let’s say you are a business based in the United Kingdom. You need slightly different costs for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. How would you make it with the β€˜United Kingdom’ shipping zone? Just create a location (or sub-zone) for these 4 countries and you are good to go.

WooCommerce shipping locations in the UK

In this very basic example we charge Β£10 for shipping to all locations but add extra charges if the client is located in England (Β£5), Scotland (Β£6), Wales (Β£7) or Northern Ireland (Β£8). This setup is basic only because it is an example πŸ™‚ You could do much more with Flexible Shipping!

In another example, you may want to charge your customers different amount for the postcodes of their shipping address. If you used the core WooCommerce shipping, you would have to create a shipping zone for every postcode. Here you can just define your locations and use it in one shipping method. Isn’t it much easier?!

Flexible Shipping Locations WooCommerce €29.00

Extend Flexible Shipping with custom locations and create shipping costs based on weight, order totals or item count.
