Once active, the Weight/Country shipping method will appear in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Shipping. Enable/Disable, Method Title, Tax Status and Handling Fee are common Woocommerce shipping options and work like in other shipping methods.Shipping Rates
This is where you set your rates. Shipping rates work in tandem with Country Groups. You always assign rates to a country group. This way countries that have same shipping costs (say European Union) can share this setting. Shipping rates have 4 parameters divided by pipe “|” sign. They look like50|1.10|1 | UK standard
First parameter (50 in our example) is the weight in the unit you chose for the shop (pounds, grams, kg, etc.). This rate applies for carts with a total weight up to 50. If the cart is heavier, the next rate is used. If there is no other rate, the most expensive rate is used.
Second parameter (1.10 in our example) is the shipping charge for carts weighing up to 50.
Third parameter (1 in our example) is the number of the country group that this rate applies to.
Fourth parameter ( UK standard in our example ) is the Method title to display for the rate. Use this to differentiate between the different shipping options for each weight / country combination.
Example of rates settings
If your package carrier has different rates for parcels weighing 50, 100 and 250 grams for country/countries you defined in country group 1 your rates may look like this:50|1.10|1 | UK standard 100|1.60|1 | UK standard 250|2.25|1 | UK standard
- carts weighing between 1 and 50 grams – 1.10
- carts weighing between 51 and 100 grams – 1.60
- carts weighing between 101 and 250 grams – 2.25
