Configure advanced shipping options for your WooCommerce store with custom shipping methods. Be it weight based shipping or volume based shipping or quantity based shipping or any other conditional shipping. You can also add custom fees based on certain conditions. Show or hide shipping methods based on Product Categories or Product Tags.

== Description ==

**[Custom Shipping Methods for WooCommerce](https://imaginate-solutions.com/downloads/custom-shipping-methods-for-woocommerce/)** plugin lets you add (multiple) custom shipping methods to WooCommerce.

= Shortcodes for cost calculation =

In each custom shipping method's **cost calculation formula** you can use these shortcodes:

* **`[qty]`** - number of items (i.e. **quantity**) in cart,
* **`[cost]`** - total **cost** of items in cart,
* **`[weight]`** - total cart items **weight**,
* **`[volume]`** - total cart items **volume**,
* **`[fee]`** - percentage based **fees**,
* **`[round]`** - **rounding**.

> I had been looking for a plugin for hours and days that would give me the options I was looking for and this has succeeded. In addition to all that, i needed an extra option and these guys added it overnight, impeccable attention, friendly and fast. Sincerely anything i need about plugins I will talk to them to see if they have it or if they can develop it.

= Rules for each shipping method =

In addition, for each custom shipping method, you can optionally set these **method availability** options:

* min and max cart **cost**,
* min and max cart **weight**,
* min and max cart **volume**,
* min and max cart **quantity**,
* required and excluded cart **products**,
* required and excluded cart **product categories**,
* required and excluded cart **product tags**.

= Costs based on Product Shipping Class =

Optionally costs can be added based on the **product shipping class**:

* costs per **product shipping class** and for **no shipping class**,
* **calculation type**: charge shipping per class or per order,
* **limits calculation**: check limits per class, per order or all.

Advanced options include **custom return URL** - it can be used instead of the standard "Order received" page.

In addition to the above, you can also create customized templates for icons that would be displayed besides the shipping method title.
Also, add custom text with HTML for Free Shipping i.e Zero cost.
