WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping

WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping adds flexible weight-based rate calculation to your WooCommerce store. Instead of flat rates or simple per-item charges, it calculates shipping costs using configurable weight brackets with progressive pricing.

Rate Configuration

• Weight range tiers with different rates per bracket
• Base cost plus per-unit-weight surcharge options
• Multiple shipping zones with independent rate tables
• Minimum and maximum weight thresholds per method
• Free shipping above configurable weight or price threshold

Practical Applications

This plugin is particularly useful for stores selling products with significant weight variation — hardware supplies, food products, building materials, or mixed catalogs where flat-rate shipping would either overcharge light orders or undercharge heavy ones.

Limitations

The plugin focuses exclusively on weight as the shipping variable. For dimensional weight calculations or carrier-specific rates (UPS, FedEx), you would need additional shipping plugins that integrate with carrier APIs.
