Table rate shipping is a flat rate shipping method that allows you to charge a fixed rate for shipping based on the item’s weight destination and shipping class. You can set up table rate shipping in WooCommerce by going to your admin panel and navigating to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping. From there you can select the Add Shipping Zone button and enter your shipping zone information.
For each shipping zone you can add one or more flat rate shipping methods. To do this select the Flat Rate shipping method from the Add Shipping Method dropdown. This will open the Flat Rate Settings panel where you can configure your flat rate shipping method.
First you need to give your flat rate shipping method a name. This name will be displayed to your customers during checkout. Next you need to set the cost for shipping. This can be a flat rate amount or a percentage of the cart total. You can also add a minimum and maximum amount if desired.
If you want to offer free shipping you can check the Free Shipping checkbox. This will allow you to set a minimum order amount that must be met before free shipping is available. You can also choose to have the free shipping method show up as its own shipping method during checkout or hide it if the minimum order amount is met.
Next you need to set the conditions for when this shipping method will be available. The most common conditions are weight destination and shipping class. However you can also choose to ship based on cart contents order totals and more. If you want to ship based on multiple conditions you can use the And/Or logic to set up your shipping rules.
Finally you can choose to offer this shipping method as a default for your shipping zone. If you do not want to offer it as a default you can leave the checkbox unchecked and your customers will be able to choose it during checkout if it meets their shipping criteria.
