Shipping Mistakes

11. #CustomizeWoo
Lack of Communication: Client<>Dev
1. Dev: “Yes there is no
problem”
2. Client: “Let’s add
another shipping rate”
3. Dev: “Uhm we need a
plugin for that”
4. Client: “I hate
WooCommerce”

12. #CustomizeWoo
Lack of Common Sense: Client<>Dev
1. Client: “I’m starting
this new business. I
want to have a custom
shipping rate for EACH
product, weight,
volume, quantity...”
2. Dev: “Uhm… no thanks
ok let’s do it!”

13. #CustomizeWoo
Lack of Knowledge: Dev :)
1. Client: “Is this possible
in Woo?”
2. Dev: “Of course”
3. Dev (3 months later):
“What’s a shipping zone
again?”

14. #CustomizeWoo
Lack of Knowledge #2: Dev :)
1. Client: “Is this possible
in Woo?”
2. Dev: “I’m sure there is
a plugin that does it…
I’ll go check”

15. #CustomizeWoo
Lack of Knowledge #3: Dev :)
Dev: “I didn’t read the
Woo documentation,
but I’m sure this is not
possible”
Dev: “I give up!”
Dev: “I lost money on this
project”

WooCommerce
Shipping “ITTT Rules”

17. #CustomizeWoo
If Local Business...
Local Pickup method?
Only ship to ZIP codes
(group zones by
shipping cost)
Local Delivery?
Free shipping coupon /
threshold

18. #CustomizeWoo
If International Business...
Local / Continental /
International Zones
Might need a Courier
integration (that
calculates best rate)
Free shipping threshold

19. #CustomizeWoo
If Digital Products Business...
DISABLE shipping

20. #CustomizeWoo
If Multiple Rates...
Add more than one Flat
Rate to the same zone,
so that user can choose
between e.g. “Next Day
Delivery” and “1 Week
Delivery” (show both)
Or, show cheapest only

21. #CustomizeWoo
If Free Shipping...
Remove all other rates in
that specific zone
Or, upsell the “faster” or
“premium” rates
Threshold is better UX
(and CR) than coupon

22. #CustomizeWoo
WooCommerce
Shipping Snippets

23. #CustomizeWoo
PHP “isset > unset”
❏ Shipping methods stored in an array called $rates
❏ Filter ‘woocommerce_package_rates’ to edit rates

24. #CustomizeWoo
Disable Free Shipping If Ship. Class
❏ Loop through cart items; if in cart > unset rate

25. #CustomizeWoo
Tiered Shipping
❏ if cart subtotal, unset rate 2, else unset rate 1

26. #CustomizeWoo
Shipping by Weight
❏ if cart weight, unset rate 2&3, elseif unset rate 1&2, etc
