🔧 Key Features

• Shipping by Cart Metric: Choose to calculate shipping based on Weight, Volume, or Quantity.
• Product-Based Filtering: Calculate shipping cost using items under a specific Shipping Class or Product Taxonomy.
  Example: If the cart contains items under the “heavy shipping” class, only those items will be considered in the cost calculation.
• Cost Layers: Add multiple cost layers to build your shipping logic. Each layer represents a separate cost component that gets summed up in the final shipping fee.
• Cost Variations Per Layer: Inside each cost layer, define one or more cost variations to separate logic further based on condition or strategy.
• Range-Based Costing: Under each variation, create multiple cost ranges with cost per unit (e.g., per kg, per item, or per cubic meter), allowing dynamic and tiered costing based on the selected metric.
• Frontend Calculation: Shipping costs are calculated in real time and displayed seamlessly at checkout based on your defined logic.

🚚 Weight Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce

Weight Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce is a highly flexible shipping solution that calculates costs based on the total weight of items in the cart. You can choose to calculate weight from all products or filter the calculation to specific groups, like products with a “Heavy Shipping” class or items under certain product taxonomies.

This method is ideal for merchants selling heavy, industrial, or dense products, where weight significantly impacts shipping cost. Whether you offer flat-tiered costing or per-kilogram rates, this solution gives you the tools to build accurate and fair shipping logic for your business.

Key Benefits:

• Calculate shipping based on total or filtered product weight
• Create flexible weight range costing (e.g., 0–5 kg, 5–10 kg, etc.)
• Add cost-per-kg pricing beyond defined thresholds
• Supports multiple cost layers for modular cost setup
• Perfect for hardware, tools, automotive parts, food supplies, or heavy-duty items

Example Use Case:

• 0–5 kg * $1.5 per kg = $7.5
• 5–10 kg * $1.25 per kg = $6.25
• $1.00 per kg above 10 kg

📦 Quantity Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce

Quantity Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce allows merchants to define shipping costs based on the number of units in the cart. It can count all products together or selectively calculate quantity only for items in specific shipping classes or taxonomies (like tags, categories, or custom taxonomies).

This model works well for stores selling lightweight, high-volume items such as clothing, accessories, stationery, health products, or packaged foods. Rather than relying on weight or size, the shipping fee increases as more items are added to the cart — offering transparency and predictability to customers.

Key Benefits:

• Count all items or only filtered products in the cart
• Create quantity-based cost tiers and ranges
• Define flat rates or cost per item per range
• Supports complex setups with layered costing and per-unit cost variations
• Ideal for businesses where weight or volume is negligible

Example Use Case:

• 1–5 items * $1.50 per item = $7.5
• 5–10 items * $1.25 per item = $6.25
• 10+ items ($1.50 per item)

📐 Volume Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce

Volume Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce is a powerful shipping calculator that lets store owners charge shipping fees based on the physical space (volume) occupied by items in the cart. Volume is calculated automatically using the product’s dimensions (Length × Width × Height), either for the entire cart or filtered by specific product attributes such as shipping class or custom taxonomy.

This method is particularly useful for businesses dealing with large, bulky, or awkwardly shaped products like furniture, industrial goods, packaging materials, or outdoor equipment. It allows merchants to simulate real-world freight and courier scenarios where space on a delivery truck matters more than the item’s weight or price.

Key Benefits:

• Calculates total cart volume in cubic meters (m³) or cubic centimeters (cm³)
• Target specific products by shipping class or taxonomy
• Define volume-based cost tiers and thresholds
• Add cost per cubic unit for dynamic and scalable cost calculation
• Layered cost support for complex cost structures

💡 Advanced Use Cases

• Charge different rates for “heavy” vs. “light” products in the same cart
• Use per unit cost with flexible range logic for scalable pricing
• Create complex shipping rules with multiple conditions and filters
