Displaying shipping costs on a product page is an important element influencing customers’ purchase decision in eCommerce. WooCommerce doesn\u2019t have that option, but fortunately, there is an easy and free plugin<\/a> for this. In this article, I\u2019ll show you how to do this.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Why should you show shipping cost on product page?<\/h2>\n

Displaying the shipping cost on the product page is not the default option in WooCommerce. The shipping cost, or in fact the shipping cost calculator, is only available in two places. The first place is on the shopping cart page and the second on the checkout page. To enable the shipping cost calculator on the product page, you\u2019ll need an external solution. But <\/span>why is it worth it?<\/b><\/p>\n

Based on a study conducted by <\/span>Baymard Institute<\/span><\/a>, 21% of respondents abandoned orders because they \u201cweren\u2019t able to see the total order cost upfront before initiating the checkout\u201d. What\u2019s more, <\/span>64% of the test subjects looked for shipping costs on the product page<\/b>, before deciding to add a product to the cart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This clearly shows that enabling the shipping cost calculator on the product page makes it much easier to make a buying decision for your customers. In this simple way, you can improve the shipping experience and <\/span>reduce the number of abandoned carts in your store<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shipping Cost on Product Page Calculator plugin<\/h3>\n

One of the easiest solutions to display the shipping cost is to use a Shipping Cost on Product Page Calculator<\/strong>. As the name implies, its main functionality is just to enable the calculation of shipping cost on a product page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Advanced options to display shipping cost on product page in WooCommerce<\/h2>\n

With the Shipping Cost on Product Page PRO plugin, you can use advanced options to determine the shipping cost calculator behavior and precisely decide where it should display.\u00a0 Let’s go through all the available options.<\/p>\n

Hide the shipping cost calculator on the virtual products’ product pages<\/h3>\n

Virtual products cannot be shipped, so the best solution is to hide the shipping cost calculator on product pages of that category. To do this in the Shipping Cost on Product Page plugin, just go to options (WooCommerce \u2192 Settings \u2192 Shipping \u2192 Shipping Cost on Product Page<\/b>) and tick this checkbox.<\/p>\n

\"Hide<\/a><\/p>\n

This way, the shipping cost calculator will hide on the product pages of the virtual products that do not require shipping. This feature will be useful for stores that offer both virtual and physical products suitable for shipping.<\/p>\n

Set the shipping cost calculator placement<\/h3>\n

Simply enabling the display of a shipping cost calculator on the WooCommerce product page may not be enough for visually advanced stores. You can decide exactly where to place this element on the product page. The Shipping Cost on Product Page PRO plugin allows three options of calculator placement: before the add to cart button (the default option), after the add to cart button, or a custom place added via shortcode. You can choose the option in the Calculator placement<\/strong> list.<\/p>\n

\"Set<\/a><\/p>\n

Before ‘Add to cart’ button<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In that default option, the shipping cost calculator will be displayed in the product’s page section before the ‘Add to cart’ button:<\/p>\n

To display the shipping cost calculator, you will need to copy the shortcode and paste it in the place where you want to have the calculator. You’ll find it in the Shortcode<\/strong> section of the plugins’ setting page.<\/p>\n
