Useful WooCommerce Shipping Tips

1.    Remove calculate shipping for your cart page

There are several reasons why you may need to remove shipping options for your customer’s cart display. You could be offering free samples or digital products that do not require any shipping process. WooCommerce site owners often lament that the shipping rate throws off the price amount alignment in the process.

There are no native ways to do this in the WooCommerce plug-in. However, this handy guide gives you all the information you need.

2.    Restrict shipping for specific items, payment gateways, and countries

The WooCommerce Conditional Shipping and Payments extension is a great tool for any business that may need to restrict shipping options for certain products, regions, or payment gateways. This is particularly useful if you need to create special rules for products to comply with customs and carrier regulations. This feature will also help you manage issues such as minimum transaction limits and billing country availability.

3.    Multiple Shipping Flat Rates

Unless your store only serves a small city, you will need multiple shipping rates for customers in different locations. After all, you wouldn’t charge the same shipping fee from somebody who lives in the next town as you would for somebody who lives on the other side of the globe.

WooCommerce offers a Table Rate Shipping extension that lets you offer multiple shipping rates based on location, weight, product dimension, and other factors. But the best method is to use the right WooCommerce shipping plugin to get these rates in real-time.

4.    Local pickup

If you are looking to save on shipping costs and time, providing a local pickup option may be something to consider. This allows your customer to pick the product up directly from the store or warehouse, getting the product sooner than they would if they waited for delivery. WooCommerce does not offer local pickup options on their basic service. You can purchase the Local Pickup Plus extension, which lets you configure multiple pickup locations and display the locations in the customer account.

5.    Use ReadyCloud and ReadyShipper X

ReadyCloud is making the eCommerce industry easy to navigate for all types of businesses.

By using the ReadyCloud’s ReadyShipper WooCommerce shipping software, you fully integrate a reliable CRM with your store so you can ship items quickly, enjoy low shipping rates, and deal with all of your customer-related tasks with ease.

The software is simple to use and only takes a few moments to set up. Organize your store information in one convenient location and take the stress out of shipping and delivery.
