WC Tiered Shipping

Important notice!

Due to a shift in my personal and professional priorities, I have decided to take a step back from development. As a result, this plugin is no longer being actively maintained. You are welcome to fork it and create your own updates. If you do so, please credit me as the original author. (I would also love to hear about this plugin’s new life!)

All the best, Joni.

WordPress administrative users can create a tiered flat rate shipping fee based on the total number of items in a WooCommerce cart. The store administrator can choose to apply this shipping method to all allowed countries that the store may ship to or only specific countries.

There are two tiers in this shipping method:

• Base shipping fee: This is the base (default) flat shipping fee that is applied automatically to the cart total for any number of items.

• Additional shipping fee for tiers: This is the additional shipping fee that is added to the base fee if the number of items in the user’s cart exceeds a specified number. This tiered fee can either be a flat fee, meaning that it is applied to carts of any size above the specified tier quantity, or a progressive fee, meaning that the tier quantity is used as a multiplier to the tiered fee.

1. Upload the plugin to your WordPress installation and activate the plugin.

2. In the WordPress admin, go to “WooCommerce” -> “Settings”, then click on the “Shipping” tab.

3. At the top of the Shipping settings page, click on “Tiered flat rate shipping”.

4. Enable this shipping option and enter your shipping settings.
