3 | 4.56 
  • Use of slash characters are no longer supported as these are now allowed in the Method Title override.
  • Whether or not you can use a comma depends on your Currency options.
  • If your Thousand or Decimal separator is a comma then it can’t be used as a field delimiter.
  • Enter one rate per line.

How do I set the Method Title?

Set the default Method Title and add overrides in the Shipping Rates table

0 | 9.99| Zero weight
1 | 1.24 |

Are there any other FAQs?

This plugin needs a review

I was setting up a shop that recently upgraded to 2.6 and we lost the legacy table rate shipping. This plugin is really handy, and made the transition to the new woocommerce shipping painless.

Almost perfect :)

Works nicely, easy to set up. Would be great if the handling fee could be set also as a percentage of the cart total (just a pair of lines of code).

Very good but lacks minimum weight

I use this plugin on one WP site of a client, where it works very well. Thank you! However I just ralized today that it is not suitable for the usecase in which one wants to have a *minimum* weight set. For example: I use a shipping method up to 30kgs and then I would like to switch to another method, once I'm over 30kgs. This does not work.
