EffectIO Advanced Shipping for WooCommerce 1.1.5

Description:

Advanced Shipping for WooCommerce is a shipping plugin for WooCommerce stores that lets you create flexible shipping rates through conditional logic. It is built for shop owners who need flat rate shipping requirements that go beyond the default options, and it works without any coding. One thing the plugin does not do is fetch live shipping quotes from shipping carriers, so it is aimed at stores that calculate shipping with their own rules rather than carrier rates.

The core of the plugin is a conditional logic framework. You can combine conditions with AND to narrow down exactly when a shipping rate should appear, or use OR condition groups to target multiple groups of customers within a single shipping rate. For example, a rate can show when the user role is Wholesale and the country is the United States, or when the user role is Customer, the country is the United States and the subtotal is greater than a set amount. The plugin ships with a set of conditions by default, and additional conditions such as Volume, Contains category and Subtotal minus discounts can be added through a code snippet if needed.

Several condition types make specific setups easy. The User role condition lets you configure different shipping costs for wholesale versus retail customers, set up free shipping for first time purchases by visitors without an account, or give known business customers free shipping when they have their own shipping account number. The City condition matches a comma separated list of cities against what the customer enters at checkout, which is useful when zipcode based rules do not fit. The Weight condition supports specific weights or weight ranges using the Less or equal and Greater or equal operators, often combined with locational conditions such as countries, states, cities or zipcodes.

For even more flexibility, an extension adds advanced cost options. Cost per Shipping Class, Cost per Weight, Cost per Category and Cost per Product each use Min and Max fields to apply costs based on quantity, weight or subtotal, with an Amount field that accepts flat amounts, percentages, negative amounts, multiplication and interval based costs such as every X quantity.
