== Weight-Based Shipping for WooCommerce ==

Calculate shipping costs based on **cart weight or product weight**, ensuring accurate pricing for lightweight and heavy orders. Define weight ranges or use incremental logic to adjust costs automatically as weight increases.

Combine weight with other parameters like location, product category, or cart total to create advanced weight-based shipping logic for precise control.

**Examples:**

* $5 for 0-5kg, then $2 per additional kg
* 0-10kg = $8, but only for USA customers; others = $12
* Fitness category + weight 0-5kg → $6, above 5kg → $10
* Weight 0-3kg + cart total > $50 → Free shipping
* Weight 5-15kg + user role = Wholesale → $7 flat rate

**Note:** All of the integrations come with two modes: live and sandbox mode, helping you test the setup before showing real rates at checkout.

== Conditional Free Shipping ==

WowShipping lets you offer free shipping when specific conditions are met, giving you full control instead of applying it to every order. 

Choose from 37+ conditional parameters, including: Cart: quantity, total, weight, volume, coupons; Product: category, tags, price, quantity; Customer: user role, email, order history, and much more.

Add up to 3 conditions per rule, and all conditions follow AND logic, meaning every condition must be true for free shipping to apply.

**Example:**

* Free shipping only when: Cart total > $100 & Country = USA
* Free shipping only when: Product category = Fitness, Cart weight between 0–5 kg & User role = VIP

== Fixed and Incremental Table Rates ==

WowShipping gives you three ways to define shipping cost: Fixed Rate, Incremental Rate, and Base Cost + Additional Charge. Each option is built to match different pricing needs using parameters like cart quantity, weight, product price, and more.

= Fixed Rates =

Apply a fixed shipping cost when meeting a specific condition. This works best when the shipping price does not change for that particular condition, making pricing predictable.

**Example:**

* $20 shipping for all orders in the USA
* $12 shipping for all products in the “Furniture” category
* $15 shipping for orders with a weight between 10 and 20 kg

= Incremental Rates =

Shipping cost increases step by step as the order grows. You choose what it depends on (like weight, quantity, or price), and the system adds cost repeatedly as that value increases.

**Example:**

* $2 for every 1 kg → 3.5 kg = $7 shipping
* $3 for every 2 items → 5 items = $9 shipping

= Fixed + Incremental Rates =

Combine a base cost with additional charges after a defined limit. This allows you to set a minimum shipping fee and then scale pricing for larger or heavier orders.

**Example:**

* $10 for up to 5 kg, then $2 for every additional 1 kg → 8 kg = $16 shipping
* $20 for first 5 items, then $2 for every extra 2 items → 9 items = $24 shipping

== Special Actions ==

Use Special Actions to control what happens after a rule is matched. You can decide whether to continue checking more rules, stop with the current cost, or hide the shipping method.

* **Pass** → Continue to the next rule
* **Stop** → Use the calculated cost so far and stop checking further rules
* **Deny** → Hide the shipping method completely and stop processing

**For example:**

* A store charges $5 for the first 5kg and uses Pass, so the next tier adds $2 per extra kg.
* If a customer’s country is not supported, the rule uses Deny to completely hide that shipping method.

== Shipping Rates Calculations ==

WowShipping lets you control how the final shipping cost is calculated when multiple rate tiers are involved. 

You can choose from different calculation methods:

* **Sum** → Add costs from all tiers
* **Highest** → Apply the highest cost among tiers
* **Lowest** → Apply the lowest cost
* **First** → Use the first applicable tier
* **Last** → Use the last applicable tier

**Examples:**

* Weight rule ($5) + location rule ($3) → **Sum = $8**
* Multiple matched tiers ($5, $8, $10)  → **Highest = $10**

== Advanced Display Rules ==

Utilize the Advanced Display Rules to have extra control when a shipping method is shown at checkout. Make use of the available parameters such as cart quantity, cart total, subtotal, weight, coupons, product, category, tags, user role, and more – to create a custom display rule. 

* **Example 1:** Show Free Shipping only if cart total > $100 and country = USA
* **Example 2:** Show Express Delivery only if weight < 5kg and city = New York

This ensures the shipping methods appear at checkout, only when all the display conditions are met.

== Solve Any Complex Shipping Scenario with WowShipping Today! ==

WowShipping provides a powerful, no-code shipping logic builder that allows you to stack up multiple conditions using 30+ conditions using advanced AND/OR logic – letting you solve any complex shipping scenarios:

**🧩 Mixed Quantity Rules (Category + Product)**

* Override with special pricing for specific product combinations
* **Example:** Lower rate when “T-shirt + Hoodie” are purchased together

**🌍 Country + Weight-Based Charges**

* Set a fixed base cost per country
* Add variable cost per kg for accurate international shipping
* **Example:** Canada → $12 + $1.5/kg, UK → $14 + $2/kg

**⚖️ Price + Weight Combined Logic**

* Reward high-value orders with lower rates
* Charge more for heavy, low-margin products
* **Example:** 
           Cart value ≥ $200 and weight ≤ 5 kg → $5 shipping; 
           Cart value < $200 or weight > 5 kg → $12 shipping

**👤 User Role + Cart + Category Conditions**

* Create exclusive rules for specific customer roles
* Combine with cart value and product category
* **Example:** Free shipping for B2B users on $1000+ furniture orders

**📍 City + Day-Based Pricing**
