With Custom Shipping Methods for WooCommerce Pro plugin you can add custom shipping methods to WooCommerce.

In addition to standard WooCommerce cost calculation shortcodes ([qty], [cost], [fee]) you can also use [weight] and [volume] shortcodes.

The plugin also includes:

• [costs_table] shortcode for the table rate shipping,
• [distance] shortcode for distance based cost calculation,
• options to set free shipping minimum order amount,
• options to set min and max cost limits,
• options to set custom shipping methods frontend icons and descriptions,
• min/max cost/weight/volume/quantity method availability options.

Costs Table

[costs_table] shortcode has two attributes: prop and table.

prop attribute can be: volume, weight, qty, cost or distance.

table attribute sets costs based on prop attribute’s value, in min_prop-cost format.

Costs Table by Items Volume

Items volume is calculated by multiplying each item’s width, height and length.

[costs_table prop="volume" table="0-10|50-50|100-125.5"]

This example will set costs according to this table:

Costs Table by Items Weight

[costs_table prop="weight" table="0-10|50-50|100-125.5"]

This example will set costs according to this table:

Costs Table by Items Quantity

[costs_table prop="qty" table="0-20|10-10|20-0"]

This example will set costs according to this table:

Costs Table by Order Amount

[costs_table prop="cost" table="0-20|10-10|20-0"]

This example will set costs according to this table:

Costs Table by Distance

Distance is calculated same as in [distance] shortcode. Also same attributes (key, default_distance, units, src, debug) are applied.

[costs_table prop="distance" table="0-10|50-50|100-125.5" key="BIzbSyBNBNR9yi3vTgC33oXSpwQftScNSmO-fjc" default_distance="100" units="km"]

* Please note that key from example is not a valid key – you need to get your own key here.

This example will set costs according to this table:

Distance based Cost Calculation

[distance] shortcode has five possible attributes:

• key – this is a required attribute. Plugin uses Google Distance Matrix API to calculate the distance, so you need to get your API key here. Please note that you need to check “Routes” when getting your key from Google.
• default_distance – this is a default distance for shipping (in case if customer didn’t enter his address yet or distance can’t be calculated). Default: 0.
• units – units in which distance is calculated. Possible values: m for meters (default), km for kilometers and mi for miles.
• src – source point (origin). By default it’s automatically retrieved from your shop’s settings from “WooCommerce > Settings > General > Store Address”. If you wish to set it manually – correct format is: address, city postcode, country.
• debug – if set to yes, will output debug information in “WooCommerce > Status > Logs”. Default: no.

[distance] Example

1.5*[distance key="BIzbSyBNBNR9yi3vTgC33oXSpwQftScNSmO-fjc" default_distance="15" debug="yes" units="km"]

* Please note that key from example is not a valid key – you need to get your own key here.

Rounding

If you need to round some values, you can use 

[round], shortcode, e.g.:

[round][weight]/100[/round]

[round] shortcode attributes:

• type – rounding type. Can be up, down and normal. Default is normal.
• precision – rounding precision. Used for normal rounding type only. Sets the number of decimal digits to round to. Default is 2. This is the same parameter as in PHP round() function:
  If the precision is positive, the rounding will occur after the decimal point. If the precision is negative, the rounding will occur before the decimal point. If the absolute value of the precision is greater than or equal to the number of digits, the result of the rounding is equal to 0

Availability Options

For each custom shipping method you can optionally set min/max cost/weight/volume/quantity method availability options.

Shipping Class Costs Options
