Table Rate Shipping for WooCommerce – Flexible Shipping Plugin

Product Overview

The Table Rate Shipping plugin for WooCommerce gives you precise, granular control over your shipping costs. Instead of relying on flat-rate or free shipping alone, you can build detailed rate tables that respond to real variables — weight, dimensions, cart subtotal, product category, shipping class, destination, and more.

The plugin integrates directly with WooCommerce Shipping Zones, so your rules apply exactly where you need them. Whether you run a small store with simple shipping needs or a large catalog with complex dimensional pricing, this plugin adapts to your workflow.

Key Features

• Multi-condition rate tables: Define shipping costs based on subtotal, amount, weight, height, width, length, surface area, volume, shipping class, individual products, categories, date range, and day of the week. Multiple conditions can be applied to each table line.
• Flexible cost calculations: Choose from fixed price, percentage of subtotal, or multipliers based on weight, length, width, height, surface area, or volume. Combine multiple cost options per line — for example, a base rate plus a fuel surcharge percentage.
• WooCommerce Shipping Zones compatible: Table rate methods work within your existing shipping zone structure. You can create multiple table rate instances inside each zone.
• Drag-and-drop priority control: Reorder table lines easily to set which conditions take precedence, ensuring the correct rate is always applied.
• Dimensional weight calculations: Compute dimensional weight by multiplying or dividing volume by a custom factor.
• Advanced subtotal conditions: Apply rules based on subtotal including or excluding taxes, and factor in coupon discounts.
• Hide when free shipping is active: Optionally suppress the table rate method whenever a customer qualifies for free shipping.
• Default method selection: Choose which shipping method is pre-selected at checkout.
• Hide alternative options: When a customer qualifies for a selected method, hide other options in the same shipping zone.
• Descriptive shipping text: Add custom text below the shipping method title and price to provide extra details to customers.
• User-role restrictions: Limit table rate methods based on user function or role.
• Disable transport taxes per instance: Control tax treatment on a per-method basis.
• Round-up option: Round calculated costs up to the next whole number.
