WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping

Weight Based Shipping is a simple yet flexible shipping method for WooCommerce focused mainly on cart weight (but not limited to) to calculate shipping cost. Plugin allows you to add multiple rules based on various conditions.

Compatible with:

• WooCommerce 7 (requires WooCommerce 3.2+)
• WordPress 6 (requires WordPress 4.6+)
• PHP 7.1+, 8.x

Features

Table Rate Shipping

You can create as many shipping rules as you need for different customer countries, cart weight and subtotal ranges.  

Flexible Price Calculation

Each profile can be configured to expose a constant price (like Flat Rate) or a progressive price based on cart weight, or both.

Shipping Classes Support

For each shipping class you have you can override the way shipping price is calculated for it.  

Weight Step

Sometimes it’s needed to rate every, for example, 500g of cart weight rather than a real weight. That also can be easily set up with this plugin.

Flat Rate

Each shipping rule can be easily configured as a flat rate shipping.  

Conditional Free Shipping

In some cases you want to ship for free depending on subtotal, total weight or some other condition. That can be achieved in a moment with this plugin.

Allow zero weight shipping. Thus only Handling Fee is added to the final price.

Previously, weight based shipping option has not been shown to user if total weight of their cart is zero.

If it does not suite your needs well you can return previous behavior by setting Min Weight to something a bit greater zero, e.g. 0.001, so that zero-weight orders will not match constraints and the shipping option will not be shown.
