YITH WooCommerce Product Shipping 1.31.0

The YITH WooCommerce Product Shipping plugin is a premium extension that significantly enhances and expands the native shipping configuration capabilities of WooCommerce.1

WooCommerce's default settings allow you to define shipping rates based on Shipping Zones and Shipping Classes, but it lacks the ability to easily assign complex shipping costs directly to individual products, product variations, or categories. This is where the YITH plugin steps in.

📦 Core Functionality: Product-Level Shipping

The primary purpose of the plugin is to override or augment general shipping rules with highly specific rules based on the product being ordered.2

Per-Product Shipping Rules: You can set entirely different shipping costs for a single product (or a product variation), allowing you to easily manage items that are oversized, fragile, or need special handling.3

Rules by Category or Tag: Define a single rule that applies to all products within a specific WooCommerce Category or Tag.4

🗺️ Advanced Rule Conditions

The plugin allows you to create detailed rules that combine multiple criteria for fine-grained control:

Geographic Specificity: Set different fees for each country, state, region, city, or postcode.5

Cart Conditions: Apply a rule only if:

The Cart Total is within a specified value range.6

The Product Quantity reflects specific criteria (e.g., charge a surcharge if a quantity of 5 or more is ordered).7

User Roles: Create shipping rules that vary based on the User Role (e.g., offer reduced shipping costs to wholesale or loyal "Subscriber" customers).8

✨ Enhanced Features

Shipping Summary Display: For maximum transparency, the plugin allows you to show a summary of the exact shipping costs on the product page itself, minimizing customer surprise at checkout.9

Fixed Product Surcharge: Easily add a fixed, flat cost to the cart total for each product in the cart, regardless of the quantity (useful for handling fees or insurance).10

Custom Messages: Display a custom message directly on the product page to inform users about special shipping policies or delivery times for that specific item.11

Rule Priority: Use a drag-and-drop interface to set the processing priority of your shipping rules, ensuring the correct fee is always calculated.12

WooCommerce Multi-Vendor Integration: It integrates with plugins like YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor, allowing individual vendors to set their own shipping rules for their products, and ensuring those costs are correctly calculated into the vendor's commission.13

This plugin is essential for stores that sell a diverse range of products with highly variable sizes, weights, or delivery requirements.
