Free Table Rate Shipping Plugin for WooCommerce

Table rate shipping means your shipping price comes from a table you write, not from one flat fee. Codiffy Table Rate Shipping, a free table rate shipping plugin for WooCommerce, adds a shipping method called Codiffy Table Rate to your shipping zones. Each row of its table says when it applies (its conditions, such as “weight up to 5 lb” or “subtotal $100 or more”) and what it costs. At the cart and checkout the rows are checked from top to bottom, and the first row whose conditions all match sets the price.

How table rate shipping works: a worked example

Here is a table for a store that ships within the United States, set to calculate per order. Amounts are in your store’s currency and weights in your store’s weight unit.

The Standard rows have the description “3 to 5 business days. Spend {free-shipping@100} more for free shipping.” A customer orders 3 items that weigh 7 lb, with a subtotal of $64:

• Row 1 does not match, because the subtotal is under $100.
• Row 2 does not match, because 7 lb is over 5 lb.
• Row 3 matches, so Standard costs $11.95 and its description reads “Spend $36.00 more for free shipping.”
• Row 5 matches, so Express costs $14.95 + 3 × $2.00 = $20.95.

The customer chooses between Standard at $11.95 and Express at $20.95. If they add more to the cart and the subtotal reaches $100, row 1 matches and Free shipping at $0 is the only option of this method, because row 1 hides the others. Row 4 charges $11.95 plus $0.50 for each pound over 20: “for every” counts the whole weight, rounded up, so a 30 lb order costs $1.95 + 30 × $0.50 = $16.95.

WooCommerce shipping by weight, items, cart total or destination

• By weight: one row per weight band, as in rows 2 to 4 above. Turn on dimensional weight to charge large, light parcels by their volume (couriers commonly use a factor of 139 for inches and pounds, or 5000 for centimeters and kilograms).
• By number of items: a Quantity condition for bands (“1 to 3 items: $5”), or the cost “Amount multiplied by items” for a price per item.
• By cart total: a Subtotal condition. Choose whether the subtotal includes tax and whether it is worked out after coupons.
• By destination: WooCommerce shipping zones decide where a customer is, by country, state or ZIP code. Add the method to each zone with its own table, for example higher rates for Alaska and Hawaii or for Canada. A customer sees the table of the zone their address falls in.
• By product type: Shipping class, Product or Category conditions, for example $14.95 when the cart contains anything in a “Bulky” class.
• By date: a Date range or Day of week condition for seasonal or weekend rates.

Calculating per item, per line item or per shipping class splits the cart into groups first. Each group is matched against the table on its own and the costs are added up, or, per shipping class, you can charge only the highest priority class, or only the highest or lowest costing class.

How to set up table rate shipping in WooCommerce

1. Make sure WooCommerce 9.2 or newer is active, then upload the plugin ZIP under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and activate it.
2. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping, open a shipping zone and click Add shipping method.
3. Choose Codiffy Table Rate, then click Edit next to it. Its settings open on their own page.
4. Choose how rates are calculated, then add rows to the Table of rates: conditions on the left, costs on the right. Drag rows, or use the arrow buttons, to change their order.
5. Save. Customers in that zone now see the option and the price of the first matching row.

Activating the plugin changes nothing on its own: your shipping only changes once you add the method to a zone. If no row matches a cart, for example an order that is too heavy, that option is not offered, which is how you stop orders you cannot ship.

Settings for tax, coupons, weight and customers

Each copy of the method has its own settings: the title customers see, tax status, how rates are calculated, whether the subtotal includes tax or comes after coupons, rounding the weight up to a whole number, dimensional weight and its factor, hiding the method when WooCommerce Free Shipping is available, and limiting it to chosen customer roles or guests. Class priorities for “single class only” are set once under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Codiffy Table Rate.

A free alternative to paid table rate shipping plugins

Table rate shipping is often sold as a paid add-on. Codiffy Table Rate Shipping is free under the GPLv2 or later license, with no premium version and no upsells, and it includes the rules most WooCommerce stores need to price shipping by weight, items, cart total, size, shipping class and destination.
