What is shipping method in WooCommerce?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:28 pm

Shipping method in WooCommerce is one of the most important aspects of the WooCommerce store. It affects how orders are processed, shipping costs, and the time it takes for orders to ship.

There are three primary shipping methods in WooCommerce:

1. Standard Shipping: This is the default shipping method in WooCommerce.

Orders are processed and shipped using the USPS.

2. UPS Ground: This is a shipping method for orders that are heavier than a standard USPS shipment.

UPS Ground orders are processed and shipped using the United Parcel Service.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with WooCommerce, do not attempt to change the shipping method. You could inadvertently break the shopping cart functionality.

3. USPS Priority Mail: This is a shipping method for orders that are lighter than a UPS Ground shipment.

USPS Priority Mail orders are processed and shipped using the United States Postal Service.

Each of the shipping methods has its own benefits and drawbacks. Standard Shipping is the cheapest option, but it can take longer to arrive than other methods.

UPS Ground is the fastest option, but it can be more expensive than other methods. USPS Priority Mail is the most expensive option, but it is the most reliable.

When choosing a shipping method, it is important to consider the size of the order, the destination country, and the weight of the order.
