About this plugin
ShipQora is an all-in-one plugin built for advanced conditional shipping for WooCommerce . It provides e-commerce store owners with complete, automated control over checkout shipping methods, dynamic rates, custom handling fees, and payment gateway visibility — completely code-free. Managing complex shipping scenarios in WooCommerce often requires custom PHP snippets or multiple single-purpose plugins. ShipQora eliminates that friction by combining flexible conditional logic with dynamic rule triggers. Seamlessly create rules based on cart subtotals, package weight, item quantity, volumetric dimensions, destination locations, or specific product categories. When a customer reaches checkout, ShipQora instantly evaluates their cart and applies your rules: hiding non-applicable delivery options, adjusting shipping costs on the fly, or restricting specific payment gateways (such as Cash on Delivery) to protect your profit margins. Why Choose ShipQora for WooCommerce Shipping? Standard WooCommerce shipping options can be restrictive for growing online stores. ShipQora bridges the gap between basic flat rates and complex fulfillment requirements: Boost Conversion Rates: Avoid confusing buyers at checkout by automatically hiding irrelevant, expensive, or duplicate shipping choices. Protect Profit Margins: Pass accurate delivery costs to customers by using precise weight, volume, and cart value conditions. Prevent Unwanted Payment Methods: Automatically restrict options like Cash on Delivery (COD) for heavy items or high-value orders to reduce order cancellations and fraud risk. Zero Coding Required: Set up complex logical rules in minutes through a clean, beginner-friendly interface. Key Features at a Glance Advanced Conditional Shipping & Table Rates: Build custom shipping rate matrices using advanced conditional shipping for WooCommerce that calculate dynamically at checkout. Weight-Based Shipping Rules: Charge tiered delivery fees or per-unit weight surcharges based on total order weight (e.g., $5 for 0–2 kg, $10 for 2–5 kg). Quantity-Based Shipping: Set custom rate tiers based on the total number of items in the customer’s cart. Volume & Dimension-Based Shipping: Calculate precise fees based on overall package volume for bulky, oversized, or dimensional products. Cart Subtotal Rules: Offer dynamic rate discounts, extra fees, or special rules based on total order spend. Hide Specific Shipping Methods: Conceal specific delivery options when criteria are met (e.g., hide standard Flat Rate when Free Shipping criteria are satisfied). Priority Shipping Override: Highlight preferred shipping choices and automatically hide all secondary choices when priority methods become available. Conditional Payment Gateway Hiding: Automatically hide or show payment methods like Cash on Delivery (COD), Stripe, or PayPal based on cart contents or total weight. Product-Specific Handling Fees: Add specialized surcharges when hazardous, fragile, heavy, or cold-chain products are added to the cart. Dynamic Fee Rules: Increase, discount, or override standard WooCommerce shipping prices dynamically during checkout. Detailed Feature Breakdown 1. Smart Shipping Method Visibility Take granular control over which delivery methods appear in the cart and checkout. Hide Unmatched Options: Automatically hide express delivery for remote postal codes or restrict heavy freight options for low-weight items. Priority Method Overrides: Define primary shipping choices that take precedence. When a priority method is triggered, secondary choices are instantly suppressed to streamline customer decision-making. 2. Advanced Dynamic Cost Adjustments Modify WooCommerce shipping rates dynamically without changing default shipping zone settings: Increase Cost: Automatically attach extra handling charges, oversized item fees, or hazardous materials surcharges. Decrease Cost: Reward high-value customers with dynamic shipping discounts when order values hit designated thresholds. Override Cost: Replace existing zone rates with custom flat fees or rule-based rates based on precise cart logic. 3. Flexible Table Rate Calculations Implement custom matrix pricing based on customer shopping behavior: Tiered Weight Rules: Charge flat or incremental fees for specific weight ranges. Item Count Tiers: Charge tiered rates based on total volume (e.g., $2/item for 1–5 items, $1/item for 6+ items). Package Dimensions: Use total volumetric calculations to ensure shipping charges accurately cover actual carrier fees for large items. 4. Conditional Payment Gateway Control Align payment gateway availability with order risks and delivery methods: Restrict Cash on Delivery (COD) for orders exceeding maximum total weight or spend thresholds. Limit payment options when specific high-risk or digital products are present in the order. Real-World Use Cases Scenario 1: Hide Standard Shipping When Free Shipping Appears Prevent customer confusion by hiding standard flat-rate shipping options as soon as the cart order total qualifies for free shipping. Scenario 2: Heavy & Bulky Product Surcharges Automatically add a $15 handling fee to the checkout rate whenever a product from the “Furniture” or “Heavy Equipment” category is in the cart. Scenario 3: Restricting Cash on Delivery (COD) Disable COD for orders weighing over 10 kg or for orders with a cart total over $500 to minimize return risk and shipping fees. Scenario 4: Tiered Volume Discounts Offer reduced shipping rates as cart item counts grow, driving higher average order values across your shop. How Advanced Conditional Shipping Works in ShipQora Creating a custom rule takes just three straightforward steps: Select Shipping Methods: Choose which default or custom WooCommerce shipping methods your rule should target. Define Trigger Conditions: Set up one or multiple logical conditions using attributes like cart weight, item quantity, total subtotal, package volume, or specific line items. Specify the Action: Tell ShipQora what action to take when conditions match — hide the shipping method, adjust the shipping rate, or hide specific payment options.
