Description
Works in the block checkout, not only the classic one. WooCommerce shows Colombia’s 33 departments at checkout, but the City field is left as free text. Classic-checkout plugins turn it into a dependent dropdown, but none work in the new block checkout (the React based one). This plugin does, and it also adds per-city shipping.
- City dropdown that depends on the selected department, in the WooCommerce block checkout (works for both shipping and billing addresses).
- Adds a per-city shipping method (based on flat rate): pick the cities and a cost inside a zone, with an option to hide the other methods when it applies. The city selector is a search box.
- Bundles Colombia’s 1,104 official municipalities (DANE), with correct accents.
- Uses WooCommerce’s native departments (ISO 3166-2). No other plugin required.
- Saves the value in the standard
cityfield, so shipping, taxes and the invoice get it unchanged. - Compatible with HPOS and the cart/checkout blocks. Translation ready, with Spanish included.
Credits
The municipality list is built from the open-source “colombia-json” dataset by Marco Vega (https://github.com/marcovega/colombia-json), available under the MIT license, based on official DANE (public domain) data.

For per-city shipping, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping, add the “Shipping by city (Colombia)” method to a zone, and pick the cities and the cost.
FAQ
-
Do I need another “Colombia departments and cities” plugin?
-
No. It uses WooCommerce’s own departments plus its own municipality list and its own per-city shipping.
-
Does it work in the classic checkout?
-
The city dropdown targets the block checkout. The per-city shipping method works in both, because it is a standard WooCommerce shipping method.
-
A customer’s town is not in the list
-
The list has the official DANE municipalities. You can add values with the
colciu_ciudadesfilter.
