<h3>Why Choose YeeShipping for WooCommerce?</h3>

2. Powerful Conditional Shipping Rules 
Create unlimited table rate shipping scenarios using flexible conditions: 
* Cart-based rules: Cart subtotal, total item count, and distinct line items.

<h3>Detailed Configuration Guide</h3>
<h4>1. Conditions (When to apply a rule)</h4>
Price 
This condition triggers based on the total subtotal of the cart. It is typically used to offer incentives for higher order values. For example, you can set a rule to provide free shipping if the “Price” is greater than or equal to $100.
Item Quantity 
This evaluates the total number of items currently in the customer’s cart. It is perfect for bulk discounts or quantity-based shipping fees. For example, you can apply a flat shipping discount if the customer buys 5 items or more in a single order.
Cart Line Item 
Unlike total item quantity, this condition looks at the number of unique products (or “lines”) in the cart. If a customer buys 10 apples and 1 orange, that counts as 2 cart line items. This is useful when you want to charge a flat fee based on the variety of items being packed.
Weight 
This calculates the rule based on the actual physical weight of all items combined in the cart. It is the most standard method for calculating freight and shipping costs for regular items.
Dimensional Weight 
Also known as volumetric weight, this calculates the “space” an item takes up (Length x Width x Height divided by a dimensional factor). The system compares the actual weight and the dimensional weight, and uses the higher value of the two. This is an essential feature for merchants shipping large, bulky, but lightweight items.
Volume 
This triggers based on the total cubic volume of all products in the cart combined. It is highly useful when you need to know exactly how much space an entire order will consume in a shipping box or on a truck.
Max Dimension 
This condition scans all products in the cart and identifies the single longest side (whether it is Length, Width, or Height) among all of them. This is frequently used to apply an oversize surcharge. For example, if the “Max Dimension” exceeds 1.5 meters, you can automatically add a $50 handling fee.
Total Overall Dimensions 
This evaluates the sum of the Length, Width, and Height for all items in the cart. It is often required by postal services to ensure a package does not exceed their maximum allowed girth limits.
Product Length / Width / Height 
These conditions target the maximum value of one specific dimension across all items. For example, you can use “Product Length” to check if any item in the cart is longer than 2 meters, regardless of its other dimensions.
User Role 
This allows you to create dynamic, customer-specific shipping rates. You can apply specific rules only for certain WordPress user roles, such as ‘Wholesale’, ‘Retailer’, or ‘VIP’. It is perfect for B2B stores that need to offer freight shipping to businesses but standard rates to regular consumers.
Stock Quantity & Status 
These conditions trigger rates based on your current inventory levels. “Stock Status” can check if any item is on backorder, allowing you to charge a split-shipping fee. “Stock Quantity” checks the total remaining stock of the items in the cart, which can be used to add express shipping fees for high-demand, low-stock items.
Time of Day & Day of the Week 
These time-based conditions allow you to set rules that only activate during specific hours or days. This is incredibly useful for local delivery services that want to apply weekend surcharges, or offer “happy hour” delivery discounts during slow periods.
Distance 
Calculated automatically via the Google Maps API, this condition measures the driving distance from your store’s origin address to the customer’s delivery doorstep. You can use it to restrict deliveries beyond a certain radius (e.g., Distance > 20 miles) or charge higher rates for distant zones.
<h4>2. Additional Costs (How to calculate extra fees)</h4>
Additional costs allow you to “stack” calculated fees on top of the base Rule Cost, creating a dynamic pricing formula.
Based on Weight or Dim Weight 
This calculates a fee by dividing the total weight (or dimensional weight) by the “Per” value you set, and multiplying it by the cost. For example, adding $2 for every 1 kg of weight.
Based on Item or Cart Line Item 
This adds a specific fee for every unit or unique line item in the cart. For example, adding a $1 handling fee for every single item the customer purchases.
Based on Volume 
This multiplies an extra fee based on the cubic volume of the cart. For example, adding $5 for every 1000 cm3 of space the order requires.
Based on Distance 
This applies a per-mile or per-kilometer fee. For example, you can charge a base fee of $10, and then add $1 for every 1 mile of distance using this metric.
Based on Price 
This adds a fee scaled by the total order value. For example, adding $5 for every $100 spent by the customer to cover premium insurance costs.
Based on Shipping Cost 
This adds a surcharge based on the rule’s base cost. It functions perfectly as a multiplier or percentage fee. For example, to add a 10% fuel surcharge to a $50 base shipping rate.
<h4>3. Pro Tips for Advanced Users</h4>
Special Action: “Stop” 
When you enable this action, the system will stop checking any further rules if this specific rule is matched. This is critical to prevent “rate stacking” where multiple fees from different rules are accidentally added together.
Special Action: “Hide Others” 
When this action is triggered, YeeShipping will force itself to be the only shipping option visible to the customer at checkout. It will automatically hide all other standard WooCommerce methods like Flat Rate or Local Pickup.
<h3>Third-Party Service Integration</h3>
This plugin utilizes the Google Maps Distance Matrix API to calculate the precise travel distance between your store and the customer’s delivery address.
<ul>
<li>Optional Integration: The connection to Google’s servers is only established if you manually provide and save a Google API Key in the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Privacy & Data Control: If the API Key is not configured or if the distance-based shipping method is not in use, the plugin will not send any data (such as locations, coordinates, or addresses) to Google.</li>
<li>Service Terms: Use of this feature is subject to the <a href="https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a>.</li>
<li>Requirement: To enable this functionality, you must activate the “Distance Matrix API” in your <a href="https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/distance-matrix-backend.googleapis.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Cloud Console</a>.</li>
