## Description

**Defyn Shipping Pro** lets you charge exactly what shipping costs you. Add it to
any WooCommerce shipping zone, build a few rules, and WooCommerce works out the 
price at checkout based on weight, order value, quantity, size, shipping class, 
product, category, customer role, day or time.

There is no “Pro” upgrade, licence key or locked feature. Everything described on
this page is in the free plugin. It was built by [Defyn](https://defyn.com.au/),
a Sydney WooCommerce agency, to run our own clients’ stores, from single-product
shops to warehouses shipping bulky freight across Australia.

#### Why store owners pick it

 * **Every condition, free.** Price, weight, item quantity, cart lines, volume, 
   dimensional weight, max dimension, length / width / height, shipping class, product,
   category, tag, product field, stock, user role, coupon, day of the week, time
   of day and “shipping cost so far”.
 * **Rules that understand your cart.** Product conditions narrow the cart to the
   matching items. “Shipping class is Bulky” + “Weight 0-20 kg” prices the weight
   of the bulky items only. No spreadsheets, no hacks.
 * **Real-world pricing.** A base cost plus “$X for each started Y”: per kg, per
   item, per cart line, per m³, per dollar (percentage shipping) or as a surcharge
   on the shipping calculated so far.
 * **Free shipping that sells.** Free over a minimum order value, a minimum quantity,
   with a coupon, or a combination, plus a live “Spend $23 more for free shipping”
   notice with a progress bar on the cart, checkout, product or shop pages.
 * **Switch in minutes.** A one-click importer copies existing Flexible Shipping
   methods and rules into Defyn Shipping Pro, zone by zone, without touching the
   originals.
 * **Built for the block checkout.** Works with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout
   blocks (notices update live as the cart changes), the classic shortcodes, and
   HPOS.

#### Rules

 * Rules run top to bottom. All conditions in a rule must match.
 * **Cost per order** plus any number of **additional costs**: “$2 per each 1 kg”,“
   $5 per each item”, “$0.15 per each $1 (15%)”.
 * **Special actions**: _Stop_ skips the rules below; _Hide_ removes the method (
   e.g. “too heavy”, “we don’t ship this class here”).
 * **Rules calculation**: add up all matched rules, or charge the lowest or highest
   one. Optional maximum cost.
 * Drag to reorder, duplicate, enable / disable and add admin notes to rules.
 * **Templates** to start from: weight tiers, order-value bands, percentage of order
   value, base + per item, progressive per-kg, shipping-class surcharge, hide-for-
   a-class.
 * **Export / import** rules as JSON to copy them between zones or sites.

#### Conditions

 * **Cart:** price, weight, item quantity, cart line items.
 * **Size:** volume, dimensional weight (with your carrier’s DIM factor), max dimension,
   total overall dimensions (L+W+H), product length, width and height.
 * **Product:** shipping class (including “any class” and “no class”), product and
   variation, category (sub-categories included), tag, product field value or range(
   any product property or custom field), stock quantity, stock status.
 * **Customer:** user role (including guests), coupon code.
 * **Date and time:** day of the week, time of day (overnight windows supported).
 * **Shipping:** the cost calculated by the rules above.

Range conditions support _is_ / _is not_. Product conditions support _matches any_,
_all_, _none_ or _only_.

#### Method settings

 * Title and a short description shown under the rate (“Delivered in 2-4 business
   days”).
 * Tax status, and costs entered **including tax** (e.g. GST-inclusive prices).
 * Free shipping: minimum order value, minimum item quantity, free-shipping coupon,
   coupon _or_ minimum, coupon _and_ minimum; optionally measured before coupon 
   discounts; custom “(Free)” label.
 * “Left to free shipping” notice with custom text and progress bar.
 * Cart value or per-package calculation (for split / multi-vendor packages).
 * Show only to logged-in customers, pre-select as the default method.
 * **Debug mode**: shop managers see exactly which rules matched, and why, on the
   cart page.

#### Developer friendly

Clean, documented filters for rules, cart contents, final cost, free-shipping threshold(
multi-currency), custom conditions and notice markup. See the FAQ.

    install and activate. (WooCommerce must be active.)
 2. Go to **WooCommerce  Settings  Shipping**, open a shipping zone and click **Add
    shipping method  Defyn Shipping Pro**.
 3. Click **Edit** on the new method, set the title, then add rules, or pick a template
    from **Start from a template…**.
 4. Click **Save changes** and test a few carts.

**Coming from Flexible Shipping?** Go to **WooCommerce  Shipping Pro import**, tick
the methods to copy and click **Import selected**. New methods are created disabled

## FAQ

### Is there a paid version?

No. Every feature is included in this plugin. Defyn offers paid setup and custom
development if you would like a hand.

### Why doesn’t my shipping method show at checkout?

A method only shows when at least one rule matches the cart. Add a final rule without
conditions as a fallback price, or turn on **Debug mode** to see how each rule was
evaluated.

### How do product conditions combine with weight or price?

Conditions run in order and product conditions narrow the cart. “Shipping class 
is Bulky” followed by “Weight 0-20” checks the weight of the bulky items only, and
additional costs in that rule are also calculated on those items.

### How do I charge a percentage of the order value?

Add a rule with no conditions and an additional cost of 0.15 per each 0.01 based
on price, which is 15%. The “Percentage of order value” template sets this up for
you.

### My weight bands overlap at the edges.

Ranges include both ends, so 0-5 and 5-10 both match exactly 5 kg. Use 0-5 and 5.001-
10 (as the weight template does), or the _Stop_ action on the first band.

### What is dimensional weight?

Carriers charge on the greater of actual weight and volume ÷ DIM factor. Enter your
carrier’s DIM factor in the method settings (e.g. 5000 for cm/kg, 166 for in/lb)
to use the Dimensional weight condition and additional cost.

### Does it work with the Cart and Checkout blocks?

Yes, including the live “left to free shipping” notice. The classic cart and checkout
shortcodes are supported too.

### Does it work with multi-currency plugins?

Rules are calculated in the store currency. Use the `defyn_shipping_pro_free_shipping_threshold`
and `defyn_shipping_pro_calculated_cost` filters to convert amounts for currency
switchers.

### Which hooks are available?

 * `defyn_shipping_pro_rules`: filter rules before calculation.
 * `defyn_shipping_pro_cart_contents`: filter the normalised cart contents.
 * `defyn_shipping_pro_calculated_cost`: filter the final cost.
 * `defyn_shipping_pro_is_free_shipping`, `defyn_shipping_pro_free_shipping_threshold`:
   free shipping decision and threshold.
 * `defyn_shipping_pro_condition_definitions` and `defyn_shipping_pro_condition_matches`:
   register custom conditions.
 * `defyn_shipping_pro_prices_include_tax`: whether cart value includes tax.
 * `defyn_shipping_pro_free_shipping_notice_html`: notice markup.

### Does the plugin collect any data?

No. It makes no external requests and sends nothing anywhere.
