Description
Kuwadema adds an area-based delivery fee system to WooCommerce. Define your delivery cities and areas, set a price per area, and customers pick their area at checkout — the delivery fee is added to the cart automatically.
Built for stores in Kuwait (ships with a one-click default dataset of Kuwait governorates and 80+ areas), but works for any country: add your own cities and areas under any billing country.
This plugin requires WooCommerce. It is an independent extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce or Automattic.
Features
- Cities & areas manager — add, edit, sort, and toggle delivery cities and areas from a dedicated admin screen with inline editing.
- Per-area delivery fees — each area has its own delivery price.
- Free-delivery threshold — set a minimum order per area; carts at or above it get free delivery, with a clear “Free (orders over X)” label.
- Minimum order floor — optionally require a minimum cart total before an area can be selected.
- Classic + block checkout — a searchable area picker on the classic checkout and native support for the WooCommerce Cart & Checkout Blocks (Additional Checkout Fields API).
- Bilingual (Arabic / English) — every city and area stores both names; the checkout shows the right one for the active language. WPML and Polylang compatible.
- Field layout control — reorder, show/hide, and set required/width for checkout billing fields from a drag-and-drop settings card, including Kuwait-specific address fields (Block, Jaddah, House No., Floor, Civil ID) with per-country visibility.
- Delivery notes — per-area notes stored in both languages.
- CSV export — download all cities, areas, and prices as a UTF-8 CSV backup.
- Multi-currency compatible — converts the fee for Curcy (WooCommerce Multi Currency), WOOCS, WPML/WCML, and Aelia Currency Switcher.
- HPOS compatible — order meta is written through the WooCommerce CRUD API and works with High-Performance Order Storage.
- Cache-safe checkout — emits no-cache signals (WP Super Cache, W3TC, LiteSpeed, Autoptimize) so delivery fees never render from a stale cached page.
- Data-preserving by default — deleting the plugin keeps your data unless you explicitly opt in to a wipe via a wp-config.php constant.
Installation
- Upload the plugin ZIP via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin, or unzip it into
/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
- Make sure WooCommerce is active (required for checkout integration).
- Go to Delivery Manager Import and click Load default Kuwait dataset, or add your own cities and areas under Delivery Manager Cities / Areas.
- Prices and the area picker appear on your checkout immediately.
FAQ
-
Does it work outside Kuwait?
-
Yes. Kuwait is just the default dataset. You can add cities and areas under any billing country from Delivery Manager Cities, and choose which countries see the area picker under Settings Delivery Countries.
-
Does it support the WooCommerce block checkout?
-
Yes. The area picker is registered through the WooCommerce Additional Checkout Fields API (WooCommerce 8.9+) and the delivery fee is applied to block-checkout carts as well.
-
What about minimum order amounts?
-
Each area has a free-delivery threshold: carts at or above it get free delivery. Set it to 0 to always charge the delivery fee. A separate optional “required minimum order” field blocks checkout below a hard floor.
-
Will I lose my data when updating or deleting the plugin?
-
No. Updating never touches your data. Deleting the plugin also preserves all data by default — a full wipe only happens if you add
define( 'KUWADEMA_DROP_DATA_ON_UNINSTALL', true );to wp-config.php before deleting. -
Is it compatible with multi-currency plugins?
-
Yes — Curcy (WooCommerce Multi Currency), WOOCS, WPML/WCML, and Aelia Currency Switcher are converted automatically. WooCommerce Payments multi-currency is handled natively.
