Key Features of Multi Vendor Shipping for WooCommerce

Explore the plugin's sample functions to get a more in-depth understanding of its overall capabilities

  • Add-on for Flexible Shipping
  • Distance-Based Shipping Compatibility
  • Built for Popular Marketplace Solutions
  • Vendor-Specific Shipping Costs
  • Scalable Shipping Management for Growing Marketplaces

Multi-Vendor Shipping is not a standalone solution – it’s an add-on for Flexible Shipping, fully compatible with both the free and PRO versions. Once installed, it extends Flexible Shipping by adding a new condition: Product author (Vendor). This lets you calculate shipping costs separately for each vendor, giving marketplace stores a powerful way to handle shipping rules in complex, multi-seller environments.

Flexible Shipping itself is a proven solution – with nearly 8 million downloads. By building on such a popular and battle-tested foundation, Multi-Vendor Shipping guarantees stability, reliability, and seamless integration into your existing WooCommerce setup.

In a real marketplace, vendors often ship from different locations – and calculating shipping costs from just one central origin can lead to inaccurate and unfair pricing. That’s why Multi-Vendor Shipping is fully compatible with our Distance Based Shipping Rates plugin. This integration allows each vendor’s own address to be used as the starting point for shipping cost calculations.

By combining vendor-specific rules with distance and delivery time conditions, you can create highly precise and transparent shipping costs. For example, customers pay fees that reflect the actual distance their order travels, vendors can set competitive rates that match their logistics, and marketplace admins reduce complexity by letting the system do the calculations automatically.

The result is greater accuracy, improved customer trust, and operational efficiency. Whether you’re running a local marketplace or selling across borders, this feature ensures shipping rates are always fair, transparent, and tailored to the real cost of delivery.

Running a WooCommerce marketplace is easier when your tools work together. That’s why Multi-Vendor Shipping is designed to seamlessly integrate with the most popular multi-vendor platforms on the market – including Dokan, WC Vendors, and WCFM Marketplace. These are proven solutions trusted by thousands of marketplace owners, and our plugin fits right in without extra setup or compatibility headaches.

By working hand in hand with these leading platforms, Multi-Vendor Shipping ensures your vendors can have their own accurate shipping rates while you keep full control over the checkout process. It’s a future-proof setup that grows with your marketplace and adapts to the tools you already use.

With the new Product author (Vendor) condition, you can assign unique shipping rules to individual vendors. Whether one vendor sells light and expensive jewelry while another sells heavy, low-cost items, you can configure rates based on price, weight, or any other Flexible Shipping condition. Shipping costs are calculated separately per vendor and then summed up in the cart, accurate, fair, and transparent for both customers and sellers.

As your marketplace grows, so does the complexity of handling shipping. With dozens or even hundreds of vendors, managing rates manually becomes impossible. Multi-Vendor Shipping is built to scale with your business, letting you configure shipping rules per vendor, per zone, and per shipping method, all within the familiar Flexible Shipping interface.

This means you can introduce different strategies for each vendor: one can offer free shipping over a certain order value, another can charge based on weight, and a third can combine distance-based rates with surcharges for oversized items. No matter how diverse your vendor base becomes, the plugin adapts to keep shipping costs fair, accurate, and profitable.

The end result is a streamlined logistics system where vendors have autonomy, customers get transparent rates, and you maintain full control, even as your marketplace expands to new regions and sellers.
