    Hello,

    New to forum please forgive any protocol breaches.

    I am finishing a website using woo commerce and all that is left is to add shipping. My client has multiple products some ship for $50 some $150 and some for $300. I have figured out how to use classes to create the various flat rate amounts and assign them to the appropriate product. However they want to add options for LIFTGATE DELIVERY (add $75 to flat rate) and INSIDE DELIVERY (add $150 to flat rate). I can figure out how to add each as an option in my zone, but I can’t figure a way to have the cost change based on what shipping class is being used. I know we can’t have multiple classes for a product. Is there a formula based way to have the it calculated by adding $75 or $150 to the class that is selected? Perhaps a Plug-in is the answer?

  • Hi @jnorris66,

    Thank you for reaching out and for providing such a detailed explanation of the issue. I agree, it can become quite tricky.

    There are several possible approaches, but I’d recommend either setting up a separate shipping method for each combination in the same shipping zone or using a conditional shipping plugin such as WooCommerce Advanced Shipping, Flexible Shipping by WP Desk, or WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping.

    Hi @jnorris66,

    In addition to that, I recommend checking out these two extensions:

    Table Rate Shipping

    • It enables complex shipping calculations using formulas, lets you build multiple rate tables based on shipping classes, and also supports conditional logic for add-on services like liftgate or inside delivery.

    Conditional Shipping and Table Rates

    • It is tailored for dynamic shipping costs based on condition-based rules, supports arithmetic formulas and shortcodes for flexible calculations, and can show/hide shipping methods depending on cart contents, location, etc.

    To set them up: Instead of modifying flat rates directly, you’d create distinct shipping methods like:

    • Standard Delivery – base rates ($50 / $150 / $300 depending on class)
    • Liftgate Delivery: base rate + $75
    • Inside Delivery: base rate + $150
    • Liftgate + Inside Delivery: base rate + $225

    That way, each method would use formulas to dynamically calculate the final cost based on the shipping class in the cart.

    If you prefer a more customized checkout experience, you could use Product Add-ons or Checkout Field Editor to let customers select these services, then use woocommerce_cart_calculate_fees hook to adjust shipping costs accordingly. However, that would require custom development which we don’t support.

    I hope that helps. Let us know if you need anything else.

    Since there’s been no recent activity on this thread, I’m marking it as resolved. Don’t hesitate to start a new thread if you need help in the future.

    We’d really appreciate if you could take a moment to leave us a review: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/reviews/
