Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Flat Rate Shipping Method for WooCommerce

To apply a $10 shipping fee for a specific product, such as "Happy Ninja," set up a rule as follows: Choose the condition where a cart contains the product "Happy Ninja" and set the shipping cost to $10.

To set shipping charges for products in the "poster" category shipped to the UK, you'll need to create a rule where the cart contains a product from the "poster" category, then specify the country as the UK, and set the shipping cost at $10.

Shipping methods can be displayed as radio buttons or a dropdown. Adjust this setting in the Master Settings according to your preference.

In the Pro version, the Master Settings provide several options: < ul> Allow customer to choose: Lets the customer select from available shipping methods. Apply Highest: Only the most expensive shipping method is displayed. Apply smallest: Only the least expensive shipping option is shown. Force all: Charges the customer with the sum of all applicable shipping methods. </ul.

For the Pro version, you can sum all applicable shipping charges by selecting "Force all shipping methods" in the Master Settings.

To charge a shipping fee based on the total quantity, use a formula like $10*[qty], where $10 is charged for each item in the cart.

In the Pro version, select the location-based shipping method rule, then specify the country, state, and postcode—for example, USA, Alabama, Postcode 35801.

For creating a special $10 shipping method for "John," select "User equal to ‘John’" in the shipping rules.

Set a condition where if the cart subtotal is less than $99, the shipping charge will be $49.

Yes, choose the calculation type as “Per order: charge shipping for the most expensive shipping class” to show only the most expensive option.
