Can WooCommerce calculate shipping?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:26 pm

When setting up shipping for a WooCommerce store, it’s important to understand how WooCommerce calculates shipping. By default, WooCommerce calculates shipping based on the weight and the shipping zone of the item.

However, WooCommerce also offers the ability to calculate shipping based on the buyer’s location. This is useful if you want to offer different shipping rates based on the buyer’s location.

To enable shipping based on buyer’s location, you need to add a new shipping zone to your WooCommerce store. Once you’ve added the new shipping zone, you need to set up WooCommerce to use that zone for shipping calculations.

To do this, open your WooCommerce store’s Settings page. Under the Shipping tab, locate the Shipping Zone section and click the Edit link next to it.

PRO TIP: No, WooCommerce cannot calculate shipping. You will need to use a shipping calculator to get accurate shipping rates.

In the Editing Shipping Zone section, you’ll need to set up a name for the new shipping zone and define the boundaries of the zone. WooCommerce will use this zone to calculate shipping for items purchased in that zone.
