<p>Advanced Shipping Packages is a powerful plugin for WooCommerce that lets you split your customers’ carts into separate shipping packages. Each package and the products inside it will be shown separately in the cart and checkout pages, allowing you to apply different shipping rates to each package based on your setup.</p>
<p>One of the key features of Advanced Shipping Packages is its conditional logic framework, which gives you full control over how and when you create the packages, and which products you add to them. With this feature, you can create packages that meet your exact needs and requirements.</p>
<p>When your customers check out, they will see separate shipping options for each package, based on the way you have created the packages. This can help to make the checkout process more transparent and user-friendly, and give your customers more control over their shipping options.</p>

<h2>Example use cases for shipping packages</h2>
<p>Advanced Shipping Packages is also useful for a variety of different use cases. For example;</p>
<h4>Partial free shipping</h4>
<p>If you want to ship only certain products for free you can use a split cart to make it easier for the shipping method you’re using to get the right shipping for each package.<br />
For the customer it will also become much clearer which products ship for free and which are paid shipping.</p>
<h4>Ship freight items separately</h4>
<p>Big and heavy items sometimes simply can’t be shipped through the regular route. With a split package you can give the customer the option for freight shipping + regular shipping products if needed.</p>
<p>Contact for Shipping Quote is another powerful plugin that can assist with large freight</p>
<h4>Give separate options for pickup-only products</h4>
<p>Some items can’t be shipped and needs to be picked up. If the customer also has shippable products in the cart (s)he will have the option to pickup all products, or have the shippable products shipped anyways.</p>
<h4>Ship items from different origins</h4>
<p>If an order is being shipped from multiple locations, it will inevitably have double shipping costs for you. Splitting the cart allows you to charge your customer for the products that are shipped separately.</p>
<h2>Back-end interface</h2>
<p>As important it is for the customer to see the different shipping methods, it’s equally as important for you to see this in the order screen and emails. In each email to you and the customer it is communicated which shipping methods are selected. In the admin order screen, it shows you which shipping methods are chosen and which products are within the package.</p>

<h2>Features of Advanced Shipping Packages</h2>
<h4>Unlimited shipping packages</h4>
<p>There’s no limit to the amount of shipping packages that you can create. Using the sorting feature you can control which packages should be applied first.</p>
<h4>Full control <u>when</u> a package is created, and <u>which products</u> are added</h4>
<p>You have full control when a package should be created, and which products are added to said packages. You control all this using conditional logic.</p>
<h4>Setup custom package names</h4>
<p>Each package can have its own name which will show at the cart/checkout to the customer. You can also re-name the default shipping package in WooCommerce.</p>
<h4>Exclude shipping methods from packages</h4>
<p>Not every shipping method will be available for each package type. Using the Exclude feature you can ensure certain rates don’t appear for the created package. This also supports individual WC Shipping Zone shipping rates.</p>
<h2>FAQs</h2>
<h3>Can I use this plugin to ship to multiple addresses?</h3>
<p>No, the <strong>Advanced Shipping Packages</strong> plugin is only meant for scenarios in which you need to split the shipping packages. For shipping to multiple addresses take a look at <a href="https://woocommerce.com/products/shipping-multiple-addresses/">Shipping Multiple Addresses</a>.</p>
<h3>What happens to products outside shipping packages setup?</h3>
<p>All products are in one package by default. Once you’re creating shipping packages using the extension those product can be split up within those new packages. If a product is not in a new package, this will remain in the default package and will be handled the same.</p>

<h2>Offer Pickup for Any Product, Anywhere</h2>
<p>The built-in “Local Pickup” shipping method for WooCommerce allows your customers to come to you to pick up their purchased products. While this works great for stores with a single brick-and-mortar location, it poses large issues for stores with multiple locations or distribution centers.</p>
<p><strong>Local Pickup Plus</strong> provides a far more robust pickup system for retailers with multiple locations, distribution centers, or pickup sites. Provide pickup locations across the country (or in other countries!), limit pickup to certain items, restrict which products are available at a location, accept scheduled pickups, and more!</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-locations.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-438704" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-locations.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus pickup locations" width="950" height="611" /></a></p>
<p>Using Local Pickup Plus, your customers know exactly where to go to pick up their products, and you know where to expect them. Customers will see a list of available pickup locations for each product that can be picked up (or you can opt to only allow one pickup location per order), and can choose locations that that let them receive orders where they want them.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-cart.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-438783" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-cart.png?w=950" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus cart" width="950" height="429" /></a></p>

<h3>Limit a pickup location’s products – NEW</h3>
<p>Each pickup location can have its own settings for holidays, business hours, and more. However, there maybe greater differences between your locations, too, such as the stock each carries. If certain locations only carry certain products, you can limit which products are available for pickup at a given location.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-add-location-products.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-438709" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-add-location-products.png?w=820" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus location products" width="820" height="540" /></a></p>
<p>If a product is in the cart that’s <em>not available</em> at a location, that location is simply hidden from the list when the customer chooses where to pick up the item.</p>
<p><strong>Note that</strong> you must allow pickup on a per-item basis to use this setting.</p>
<h3>Fine-Tune product pickup availability</h3>
<p>Shipping large or hazardous items can be a huge pain for merchants, so you may want to require pickup for these items. With new selectors for product and category pickup availability, you can designate a product as requiring pickup, or a product that cannot be picked up (must be shipped).</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-product-pickup-setting.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-438769" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-product-pickup-setting.png?w=734" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus product pickup availability" width="734" height="323" /></a></p>
<h3>Allow scheduled pickups</h3>
<p>Sometimes you’ll need to know <em>when</em> a customer is coming to get an order, or to inform them of when your location accepts pickups. <strong>Pickup Appointments</strong> allow you to set up business hours globally or on a per-location basis, along with holidays, lead time (prep time needed for a pickup), and deadline (maximum days allowed to schedule a pickup).</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-settings-2.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-438697" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-settings-2.png?w=852" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus Pickup Appointment Settings" width="852" height="950" /></a></p>
<p>Each location can even implement its own schedule, lead time, and deadline if the default doesn’t fit.</p>
<p>If appointments for pickup date are enabled, the customer will be able to choose a date (or will be required to pick one, depending on your settings), and will see the location details and operating hours on the date they choose.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-set-appointment.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-438787" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-set-appointment.png?w=465" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus location appointment" width="465" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>If you offer <a href="https://www.skyverge.com/blog/using-local-pickup-plus-to-support-curbside-takeout-orders/">curbside pickups or takeout orders</a>, you can also limit the number of appointments at the same time.</p>
<h3>Notify Warehouses & Employees – NEW</h3>
<p>When a pickup location is set up, you can add an email notification list for the location. Any time an order contains items from this location, these email addresses will be added as recipients for admin order emails.</p>
<p><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-location-emails.png"><img class="size-large wp-image-438715" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/woocommerce-local-pickup-plus-location-emails.png?w=915" alt="WooCommerce Local Pickup Plus location email list" width="915" height="378" /></a></p>
