Conditional Shipping Methods Plugin for WooCommerce

Conditional Shipping Methods is a powerful plugin designed to manage and customize the visibility of existing shipping methods in your WooCommerce store. It’s not a shipping method itself—instead, it’s a comprehensive tool for managing the display of shipping methods based on your conditions. With this practical plugin, you can precisely define which shipping methods are shown or hidden, creating advanced and personalized rules that ensure your customers always receive the most relevant shipping options.

Its intuitive operation relies on two straightforward components:

• Conditions: Here you specify parameters that trigger certain rules (e.g., cart contents, weight, price, shipping class):
  
  
  
• 
  Actions: Here you define what happens next—deciding which shipping methods become visible or hidden based on your defined conditions:
  
  
  

This simple yet powerful mechanism makes managing your shipping methods easy, enjoyable, and incredibly effective, ensuring your customers always see the best possible shipping options.

Conditional Shipping Methods offers advanced flexibility, enabling you to precisely apply rules either to the entire Cart or targeted Package(s):

You can create shipping rules that respond accurately to the whole order or individual shipment packages, ensuring precision in complex scenarios.

The plugin’s strength lies in its logical evaluation of conditions, letting you choose how rules are assessed:

• any of: Rule activates when at least one condition is met:





• all of: Rule triggers only if all conditions match precisely:





• none of: Rule activates exclusively when no conditions match:

Additionally, you can combine multiple condition sets with an extra OR option in the rules table, making it easy to manage complex shipping scenarios and always show customers the most relevant shipping methods.

Conditional Shipping Methods lets you craft highly targeted rules linked directly to your products’ characteristics. Instead of relying on broad conditions, you can tailor your shipping strategies specifically to product details, categories, or groups, creating a customer-friendly shipping experience.

You can easily set conditions based on precise product parameters, such as:

• Specific Products: Set unique shipping methods for individual products, like special conditions for delicate or high-value items:





• Product Tags or Category: Quickly manage groups of products, ideal for scenarios like excluding express shipping for heavy items or offering priority shipping for seasonal products:





• Shipping Classes: Leverage WooCommerce’s built-in shipping classes to target rules efficiently, such as handling fragile, frozen, oversized, or perishable goods:

By utilizing these product-based parameters, you provide customers with clear, accurate shipping options tailored to their orders—improving satisfaction, reducing confusion at checkout, and enhancing your store’s reputation.

Conditional Shipping Methods also offers precise control based on essential cart/package parameters, such as weight and price, enabling detailed customization of your shipping rules.

• Weight-based Rules: Easily set rules triggered by the total cart or package weight, allowing tailored shipping methods for lightweight or heavy shipments. Perfect for scenarios like enabling special freight options or excluding express methods based on weight thresholds:





• Price-based Rules: Customize your shipping visibility based on cart/package value. You can, for example, enable free shipping methods for orders above a certain amount, or restrict specific shipping methods to higher-value carts, encouraging customers to purchase more:

Leveraging these advanced parameters allows you to create precise, customer-focused shipping scenarios tailored exactly to your store’s needs. By setting clear rules based on cart weight or total price, you can effortlessly highlight attractive shipping offers, such as limited-time free shipping. This encourages customers to increase their order value, directly boosting your store’s revenue while delivering a seamless, satisfying checkout experience.

Shipping Method Condition:



Precisely control your shipping options based on the methods currently available in your customer’s cart/checkout. With this beneficial condition, you can effortlessly show or hide shipping options depending on selected methods. For example, automatically hide “Free Shipping” when a pallet-shipping method is already selected in the cart, ensuring your customers always receive the most appropriate shipping solution for large or specialized deliveries.

Zero-Cost Shipping Method Condition:



Effectively manage your shipping method visibility based on whether a zero-cost shipping option is currently available. This feature enables you to automatically adjust your shipping methods when free or discounted shipping is active, enhancing the checkout experience. For example, instantly hide paid shipping options when free shipping conditions are met, clearly guiding customers toward the most appealing choice.

Conditional Shipping Methods enables you to effortlessly manage shipping rules based on the day of the week, specific time frames, or customer shipping locations. This ensures you always offer precise and relevant shipping options exactly when and where they’re needed.

• Day of the Week: Offer special weekend delivery options or hide methods on non-working days, providing customers with realistic and reliable shipping estimates.





• Time of the Day: Automatically activate same-day delivery during specific hours, such as 8 AM to 1 PM, ensuring customers only see achievable and timely shipping methods.





• Location-based Rules: Display local pickup or courier options exclusively for nearby customers, or hide international shipping methods for domestic orders, streamlining checkout and avoiding confusion.

By leveraging these advanced conditions, you provide a personalized, accurate, and convenient shipping experience, perfectly tailored to your customers’ context and expectations.
