Watch our full video tutorial below: ✅ **Top Use Cases:** – WooCommerce shipping cost by weight – Quantity based shipping rates – Volume based shipping calculation – Per-unit shipping cost with range thresholds– Shipping by product category or custom taxonomy 🔑 **Why Choose This Plugin?** – Eliminate overcharging or undercharging customers– Improve cart conversions with transparent shipping rules – Increase average order value by using cost-based tiers – Optimize for local, regional, or freight-based shipping methods ### 🔧 Key Features * **Shipping by Cart Metric**: Choose to calculate shipping based on **Weight**,** Volume**, or **Quantity**. * **Product-Based Filtering**: Calculate shipping cost using items under a specific** Shipping Class** or **Product Taxonomy**. Example: If the cart contains items under the “heavy shipping” class, only those items will be considered in the cost calculation. * **Cost Layers**: Add multiple **cost layers** to build your shipping logic. Each layer represents a separate cost component that gets summed up in the final shipping fee. * **Cost Variations Per Layer**: Inside each cost layer, define one or more **cost variations** to separate logic further based on condition or strategy. * **Range-Based Costing**: Under each variation, create **multiple cost ranges** with **cost per unit** (e.g., per kg, per item, or per cubic meter), allowing dynamic and tiered costing based on the selected metric. * **Frontend Calculation**: Shipping costs are calculated in real time and displayed seamlessly at checkout based on your defined logic. ### 🚚 Weight Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce **Weight Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce** is a highly flexible shipping solution that calculates costs based on the **total weight** of items in the cart. You can choose to calculate weight from all products or filter the calculation to specific groups, like products with a “Heavy Shipping” class or items under certain product taxonomies. This method is ideal for merchants selling **heavy, industrial, or dense products**, where weight significantly impacts shipping cost. Whether you offer flat-tiered costing or per-kilogram rates, this solution gives you the tools to build accurate and fair shipping logic for your business. Key Benefits: * Calculate shipping based on total or filtered product weight * Create flexible weight range costing (e.g., 0–5 kg, 5–10 kg, etc.) * Add cost-per-kg pricing beyond defined thresholds * Supports multiple cost layers for modular cost setup * Perfect for hardware, tools, automotive parts, food supplies, or heavy-duty items **Example Use Case:** * 0–5 kg * $1.5 per kg = $7.5 * 5–10 kg * $1.25 per kg = $6.25 * $1.00 per kg above 10 kg ### 📦 Quantity Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce **Quantity Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce** allows merchants to define shipping costs based on the **number of units** in the cart. It can count all products together or selectively calculate quantity only for items in specific shipping classes or taxonomies (like tags, categories, or custom taxonomies). This model works well for stores selling **lightweight, high-volume items** such as clothing, accessories, stationery, health products, or packaged foods. Rather than relying on weight or size, the shipping fee increases as more items are added to the cart — offering transparency and predictability to customers. **Key Benefits:** * Count all items or only filtered products in the cart * Create quantity-based cost tiers and ranges * Define flat rates or cost per item per range * Supports complex setups with layered costing and per-unit cost variations * Ideal for businesses where weight or volume is negligible **Example Use Case:** * 1–5 items * $1.50 per item = $7.5 * 5–10 items * $1.25 per item = $6.25 * 10+ items ($1.50 per item) ### 📐 Volume Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce **Volume Based Shipping Cost for WooCommerce** is a powerful shipping calculator that lets store owners charge shipping fees based on the **physical space (volume)** occupied by items in the cart. Volume is calculated automatically using the product’s dimensions (Length × Width × Height), either for the entire cart or filtered by specific product attributes such as shipping class or custom taxonomy. This method is particularly useful for businesses dealing with **large, bulky, or awkwardly shaped products** like furniture, industrial goods, packaging materials, or outdoor equipment. It allows merchants to simulate real-world freight and courier scenarios where space on a delivery truck matters more than the item’s weight or price. **Key Benefits:** * Calculates total cart volume in cubic meters (m³) or cubic centimeters (cm³) * Target specific products by shipping class or taxonomy * Define volume-based cost tiers and thresholds * Add cost per cubic unit for dynamic and scalable cost calculation * Layered cost support for complex cost structures ### 💡 Advanced Use Cases * Charge different rates for “heavy” vs. “light” products in the same cart * Use per unit cost with flexible range logic for scalable pricing * Create complex shipping rules with multiple conditions and filters ### 🚀 Upgrade to **Advanced Shipping Cost Pro** * ✅ **Unlimited Cost Layers**: Create as many cost layers as needed in a single shipping rule. The free version is limited to 2 layers. * ✅ **Unlimited Cost Variations**: Add unlimited cost variations within each cost layer. The free version only allows 2 variations. * ✅ **Unlimited Cost Ranges**: Define as many cost ranges as you want for flexible rate calculations.

Yes. You can target products by **shipping class** or any **custom product taxonomy**, allowing precise control over which products influence shipping cost. ### Can I use all three metrics (weight, volume, quantity) together? No. You can configure one metric (Weight, Volume, or Quantity) per shipping method. You can, however, create multiple methods if needed. ### Can I add layered and range-based costing? Yes! Each **Cost Layer** can include multiple **Variations**, and each variation supports multiple **Range Rules** with **cost per unit** options. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Advanced WooCommerce Shipping – Flexible Shipping Cost by Weight, Volume & Quantity– Codiepress” is open source software.
