Are the details for flat rate shipping on the Shipping page set to 0, or are they blank?
If they are blank, you need to set them to zero, having them blank means that the store cannot ship to that area.
I am trying to create a mixed mode items with Free S/H and flat S/H without shipping modules because it makes calculation mistakes.
It looks like this plug-in cannot support mixed mode items.
It is either Flat or Free S/H, and not both modes at the same time.
Unfortunately shipping modules takes over any S/H price in which I set for each item.
For example item A has $1.00 S/H, and the shipping module is $0.00. At the checkout the S/H changes from $1.00 to zero. In the invoice shows zero postage.
The only way to keep the S/H steady for each item separately is to uncheck the Shipping Modules.
I guess that’s why it shows this error.
In my opinion it shouldn’t show the error when the payment method is by PayPal.
the error for shipping method only happens if you’re using WP 2.7.1 (i’ve tested it, its working on 2.8.6 and 2.9 respectively).
Having the same problem.
It is wanting me to select a shipping method.

What do you mean by “commend the three lines”?
Ok, Karthikphp. I followed your tips (turning the four lines into “comments”) and solved the problem of getting the message “You must select a shipping method, otherwise we cannot process your order”. Thank you very much.
However, the new script does not charge my buyers any shipping cost which I have attach to the products individually. Can anybody help me with this.
- Go to Products > Settings > Shipping.
- Tick Flat Rate.
- Click on the Edit that goes with the flat rate. Fill in the values for shipping for each relevant continent.
- Click “Update”.
Shipping method has now been selected.
