To create location-specific shipping rules in WooCommerce multisite, you can follow these steps:
1. Define Shipping Zones: Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and click on the "Add Shipping Zone" button. Here, you can create shipping zones based on countries, states, or specific postal/zip codes. [3]
2. Add Shipping Methods to Zones: Once you have defined your shipping zones, you can add specific shipping methods to each zone. WooCommerce has built-in shipping methods like Flat Rate, Free Shipping, and Local Pickup, and you can also use plugins to add more advanced shipping options. [3]
3. Configure Shipping Method Settings: For each shipping method you add to a zone, you can configure the settings, such as shipping rates, handling fees, and delivery times. This allows you to create custom shipping rules for each location. [5]
4. Use Plugins for Advanced Shipping Rules: Plugins like Advanced Flat Rate Shipping Method for WooCommerce and WooCommerce Multi-Carrier Shipping Plugin can provide more advanced features to create location-specific shipping rules, such as:
- Grouping locations into custom shipping zones for easier management [1]
- Setting rules based on user types, delivery time preferences, payment methods, product categories, and more [1][2]
- Integrating with multiple shipping carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL) and offering real-time rate calculations [2]
5. Manage Shipping Zones and Methods: You can sort, edit, and delete shipping zones and methods as needed to keep your shipping configuration up-to-date. [3]
By following these steps, you can create location-specific shipping rules in your WooCommerce multisite setup, ensuring that customers in different regions receive accurate and tailored shipping options.
