Weight Based Table Rate Shipping for WooCommerce – Flexible Shipping

WooCommerce’s built-in tools give you flat rate, free shipping, and some basic options, but the logic stops there. Flexible Shipping extends these capabilities significantly. It allows you to calculate shipping costs based on Weight and Cart Total, enabling you to create unlimited rules tailored to your business. It also includes features that standard WooCommerce lacks: Marketing: A built-in "Left for Free Shipping" notice to increase your Average Order Value. Free Shipping: Advanced overrides to trigger free shipping based on specific thresholds. Tax & Calculation: Options to enter shipping costs as Net or Gross and precise control over how cart totals are calculated. Troubleshooting: An advanced Debug Mode that helps you test your setup and understand exactly why a method is displayed or hidden, saving you hours of guesswork. Moreover, Flexible Shipping is a modular solution. You can extend its capabilities at any time with our add-ons, such as Distance-Based Shipping Rates, Box Packing, or custom Locations.

Yes! The Free version allows you to configure shipping rules based on Cart Total and Total Weight. You can create cost tiers (ranges) for both. For example, you can set free shipping for orders over $100 or set the shipping cost for heavy orders above 100 lbs.

It is simple. The plugin includes a built-in "Free Shipping Override" feature, allowing you to trigger free shipping based on a global minimum order amount, visible clearly in the method settings. Or you may utilize table rules, for example: Condition: Price Min: 100 (or your threshold) Cost: 0

Yes, Flexible Shipping works seamlessly with the most popular currency switchers in the WooCommerce ecosystem. We are compatible with: WooCommerce Multilingual (part of the WPML package) Aelia Currency Switcher FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce (WOOCS) Currency Switcher for WooCommerce by WP Wham CURCY – Multi Currency for WooCommerce by VillaTheme

In the Free version, you can include handling fees by simply adding them to the base cost of the rule. If you need to add a percentage-based fee (e.g., 2% of the cart value for insurance) or a fixed fee per additional item, please upgrade to Flexible Shipping PRO, which supports "Additional Cost" and "Cost per Item" calculations.

Yes, the Free version recognizes WooCommerce Shipping Classes created in your store settings. However, you cannot build shipping cost rules based on them in the Free version. To use Shipping Classes as a condition in your rules table, you need Flexible Shipping PRO. This allows you to differentiate shipping costs for specific groups of products within a single method. Examples of what you can do with PRO: Charge $5 for standard items but $20 for items with the "Bulky" shipping class. Add an extra insurance fee only if the cart contains "Fragile" products. Hide a specific shipping method (e.g., Bike Messenger) if the "Heavy" shipping class is present in the cart.

We support ALL countries and currencies available in WooCommerce. There are absolutely no geographical limitations. Whether you are selling locally, shipping across the EU, or delivering to customers worldwide, Flexible Shipping adapts to your needs

Yes. We have been developing Flexible Shipping for over 10 years, treating stability, security, and compatibility as a top priority. Our team continuously tests the plugin against the latest releases of WordPress and WooCommerce to ensure a smooth and secure experience for your store. We release regular updates to stay ahead of any core changes.

Please use the built-in Debug Mode. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Flexible Shipping, scroll down to the "Debug Mode" section and enable it. Refresh your cart/checkout page. You will see a detailed notice explaining exactly which rules were checked and why the method was (or wasn't) displayed. This feature eliminates guesswork and helps you fix configuration errors in seconds. Pro Tip: If the debug information doesn't appear in the cart/checkout immediately, try changing the shipping address or updating the product quantity. This forces WooCommerce to refresh the shipping calculations and should trigger the debug mode display.
