FAQ SECTION
What shipping methods can I offer on WooCommerce?
WooCommerce includes three built-in shipping methods: flat rate, free shipping, and local pickup, as its shipping documentation explains. You assign these to shipping zones – geographic areas like your country or a state – and set the prices customers pay. Beyond the basics you can add table-rate methods based on weight or cart subtotal, shipping classes for per-product rates, and carrier methods that pull live rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL. Custom-developed methods can cover any delivery logic your business needs.
Can you build a custom shipping method for WooCommerce?
Yes. Custom shipping methods in WooCommerce are built as Shipping Method extensions – class-based plugins that register a new method you assign to shipping zones, exactly like the built-in Flat Rate or Free Shipping. We develop these when you need delivery logic no plugin provides: a local courier, country-specific rules, weight or item-based fees, live rates from a carrier API, or booked delivery windows. A custom method gives you precise control over rates and integrates cleanly with checkout and emails. We build it to your rules.
How do live carrier shipping rates work?
Live carrier rates work by connecting your WooCommerce store to a carrier’s API, usually USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL. At checkout the carrier returns a real-time shipping quote based on the customer’s address and the package details, and WooCommerce displays it as a shipping option. Aggregators like EasyPost connect more than a hundred carriers through one API. Many store owners start with the ready-made USPS or UPS shipping extensions, and we build custom carrier integrations when you need a specific carrier, fee, or logic the existing plugins do not cover.
Should I use table rate or flat rate shipping?
Flat rate is the simplest: a fixed cost per order, item, or shipping class, which works well for straightforward stores. Table rate is more flexible – it applies rules based on weight, cart subtotal, item count, or destination, so you can mirror real delivery costs across product mixes and regions. If you need structure beyond a single flat fee or per-item charges feel rigid, table rate gives precise, rule-based pricing. The choice depends on your catalog: simple shipping suits flat rate, while complex or multi-region delivery benefits from table-rate rules.
How much does custom shipping method development cost?
Cost depends on the complexity of the shipping logic and whether a carrier API is involved. A simple custom method that adds a flat fee or local rule is at the low end, while a method that pulls live rates or handles table-rate or booked delivery is more involved. For reference, many table-rate plugins are free with paid tiers around 99 dollars a year, but a method with carrier API integration is custom development. We scope the rules first and recommend a plugin where it fits.
