If you’re running a WooCommerce store, there may come a time when you need to add multiple shipping classes. Perhaps you need to offer different shipping options for different products, or maybe you need to offer special shipping rates for certain customers. Whatever the reason, adding multiple shipping classes is a fairly easy process.
To add multiple shipping classes in WooCommerce, first log into your WordPress dashboard and go to WooCommerce > Settings. On the Settings page, select the Shipping tab and then click on Shipping Classes. Here you’ll see a list of any existing shipping classes that have been created.
To add a new shipping class, click on the Add Shipping Class button. On the Add Shipping Class page, you’ll need to enter a few pieces of information:
When adding multiple shipping classes, it is important to remember that each class must have a unique name and slug. Additionally, you will need to set up the shipping class rates for each class separately.
- Shipping class name – This is the name of the shipping class that will be displayed to customers.
- Slug – The slug is a unique identifier for the shipping class. It’s typically used in URLs and should be all lowercase with no spaces.
- Description – The description is optional, but it can be used to provide more information about the shipping class.
Once you’ve entered all the required information, click on the Save Changes button to add the new shipping class.
Now that you’ve added your new shipping class, it’s time to assign it to some products. To do this, edit the product that you want to assign the shipping class to and scroll down to the Product Data section. Within the Product Data section, select the Shipping tab and then choose the new shipping class from the dropdown menu.
Repeat this process for any other products that you want to assign to this shipping class. Once you’ve finished assigning products, customers will see your new shipping class listed as an option during checkout.
Conclusion:
Adding multiple shipping classes in WooCommerce is a fairly easy process.
Simply log into your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping Classes, and click on the Add Shipping Class button. From here, you’ll need to enter a few pieces of information including the name, slug, and description of the new shipping class. Once you’ve saved your changes, you can then assign the new shipping class to products by editing each product and selecting it from the Shipping tab within Product Data.
Doing this will allow customers to see your new shipping class as an option during checkout.
