How to Set Up WooCommerce Shipping: #
In the WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings. Select the Shipping tab.
This is where you’ll find all of the built-in WooCommerce shipping settings.
Under the Shipping Zones tab, click on the Add Shipping Zone button.
A shipping zone is a geographic region you set for your store. This allows you to link specific shipping methods and costs for each region. For instance, you may consider having a cheaper shipping rate to all United States customers but raise the price for Canadian customers.
Choose a Zone Name for your reference. Select a Zone Region as well. You can search for possible regions or use the dropdown feature to scroll through the list of locations.
As an example, we’ve chosen Canada and the United States.
More specific shipping zones are available as well, like with the individual states through the USA.
Once you define the shipping zone, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add Shipping Method button.
Each zone needs a shipping method for specifying how you’ll charge customers in those geographical regions. For instance, you may decide to implement flat-rate shipping for most customers but also local pickups for the surrounding community.
The three default shipping methods include:
- Flat Rate
- Free Shipping
- Local Pickup
If you have any questions about the meanings of these methods, please refer to the descriptions covered earlier in the article.
Select a shipping method out of the three. In general, a flat rate is a good place to start with maybe a free shipping option for those who reach a certain price point.
Click the Add Shipping Method button to save and continue.
Each shipping method gets saved under a list for that particular shipping zone. You have the option to include multiple shipping methods per geographical zone depending on the type of shipping options you’d like to offer.
To add another method, click on the Add Shipping Method again.
An example of this scenario involves having both a flat rate for everyone in the United States but also providing free shipping for minimum spending. As you create each shipping method, you must go back to that list of shipping methods and click the Edit button for each one.
This is how you set specific details for the WooCommerce shipping methods.
You may, for instance, have a $10 flat rate and indicate that it’s taxable
WooCommerce also includes options for creating quantity and percentage-based shipping fees – follow the guidelines under the question mark icons.
Each shipping method has its settings to configure. If you click the Edit button for Free Shipping, it asks when to activate the free shipping for customers.
One method is to set a minimum order amount, where shoppers can access free shipping when they reach a certain dollar amount in their cart.
