Shipping Rules for WooCommerce<\/strong> lets you define exactly which shipping methods are available depending on what is in the customer's cart. Instead of weight-based rules, it uses WooCommerce product shipping classes combined with capacity rules so you can model real-world constraints like \"this shipping method fits up to 5 small parcels or 2 tubes, but not both at the same time.\"<\/p>\n\n

How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Define your shipping methods in WooCommerce (for example Standard or Express).<\/li>\n
  2. Create product shipping classes (for example Small, Large, Tube) and assign them to your products.<\/li>\n
  3. Create a rule here: give it a name and select which shipping methods it applies to.<\/li>\n
  4. Optionally add capacity rules: define how many items of each shipping class fit into this shipment.<\/li>\n
  5. Activate the rule. It applies as soon as all capacity constraints are met.<\/li>\n
  6. Optionally enable free shipping from a certain cart value.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Rules based on product shipping classes and capacity, not weight<\/li>\n
    • Multiple shipping methods per rule<\/li>\n
    • Capacity rules per shipping class (for example max. 5 Small, max. 2 Tube)<\/li>\n
    • Drag and drop to reorder rules - the first matching rule wins<\/li>\n
    • Free shipping threshold that sets all allowed shipping methods in the matching rule to no cost<\/li>\n
    • Active and inactive toggle per rule with validation<\/li>\n
    • Inactive WooCommerce shipping methods shown with a clear label<\/li>\n
    • Multilingual: English, German (DE\/CH), French (FR\/CH), Italian (IT\/CH)<\/li>\n
    • Clean admin UI integrated into the WooCommerce menu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. Go to WooCommerce -> Shipping Rules<\/strong> to configure your rules.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Make sure you have at least one shipping zone with shipping methods configured in WooCommerce before creating rules.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n

        Does this work with weight-based shipping?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. This plugin controls shipping method availability based on product shipping classes and capacity (size\/type), not weight.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens if no rule matches?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        If no rule matches the cart contents, WooCommerce falls back to its standard shipping method display and all enabled methods for the customer's zone are shown.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can a rule have multiple shipping methods?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. You can assign multiple shipping methods to a single rule. All selected methods will be available at checkout when the rule applies.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What are capacity rules?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Capacity rules define how many items of a given product shipping class fit into a shipment. A rule only matches if every shipping class present in the package has a capacity rule defined, and none of the limits are exceeded.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is free shipping supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. You can define a cart value threshold. When reached, all allowed shipping methods in the matching rule are displayed at no cost.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
