Shipping by Rules for WooCommerce

1. 

   The shipping method configuration page. Here you can set up multiple shipping methods (think carriers) using the Shipping by Rules plugin. Each method can have an arbitrary number of rulesets and rules. Each method can independently offer a shipping rate.

2. 

   The shipping method edit page. Give the shipping method a title that will be shown in the cart and the invoice. You can add an arbitrary number of rulesets, each applying to different countries. Each ruleset can have an arbitrary number of rules of the form 'Name="Name to be displayed to the user"; Amount<14; Weight>5; Shipping=9.9'. Do not forget to press "Update" to save your changes. The rulesets can be reordered by simply dragging them.

3. 

   An example of two shipping methods offered in the cart. Notice that the displayed shipping name has the form "Shipping Method name (Optional Rule name)".

4. 

   If a matching rule has NoShipping set as shipping costs, its name will be displayed as a warning message to the user and the method will not offer any shipping.

5. 

   The plugin's entry in WordPress' plugin management page contains direct links to the configuration page, to the documentation and to the support forum.

Where can I get further rule examples or help?

Please see our support forum at http://open-tools.net/forum/. It might also be a good idea to check the support forum of the Shipping by Rules plugin for VirtueMart. The basic concepts of these plugins are identical, so most solutions for VirtueMart will also work in the WooCommerce shipping plugin.
