If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you know that one of the most important factors in keeping your customers happy is offering them free or low-cost shipping. But what if you’re selling products that are too large or heavy to ship together? Or what if you have multiple products with different shipping rates?
In these cases, you’ll need to combine shipping in WooCommerce.
There are two ways to combine shipping in WooCommerce: using the WooCommerce Shipping Zones feature, or by installing a plugin.
WooCommerce Shipping Zones
WooCommerce Shipping Zones is a built-in feature that allows you to set up specific shipping rates for different areas. To use it, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping. Then, click on the Add Shipping Zone button.
Give your zone a name and select the region it applies to. Then, add the shipping methods and rates for that zone.
One way to combine shipping in WooCommerce is to use the built-in shipping calculator. This can be found in the WooCommerce settings under the “Shipping” tab. To use this method, simply enter the weight and dimensions of each product you want to ship, and WooCommerce will calculate the shipping cost for you.
Another way to combine shipping in WooCommerce is to use a plugin like weight/country shipping. This plugin will let you set up different shipping rates based on the weight and destination of your products. This can be a great way to save money on shipping, but it can also be a bit more complicated to set up.
Finally, you can also use a service like Shipstation or Shipwire to combine shipping in WooCommerce. These services will provide you with a single shipping label for all of your products, which can save you both time and money.
No matter which method you choose, combining shipping in WooCommerce can save you a lot of money on your shipping costs. Just be sure to weigh the
You can add as many zones as you need, and each zone can have its own shipping methods and rates. This is a great way to combine shipping for products that have different shipping rates.
Installing a Plugin
If you don’t want to use the WooCommerce Shipping Zones feature, or if you need more flexibility in combining shipping, you can install a plugin. There are many plugins available that allow you to combine shipping in WooCommerce, but we recommend using the Table Rate Shipping plugin from WooCommerce.com.
Once you’ve installed and activated the plugin, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and click on the Add Shipping Method button. Select Table Rate Shipping from the dropdown menu.
On the next page, select your preferred settings and add your shipping rates. You can add as many rates as you need, and each rate can be for a different combination of products.
Conclusion
Both the WooCommerce Shipping Zones feature and plugins offer great ways to combine shipping in WooCommerce. Which option you choose will depend on your specific needs.
