About Saan Shipping Rules for WooCommerce
From the official readme · v3.1.0Description
Shipping Rules for WooCommerce lets you define exactly which shipping methods are available depending on what is in the customer’s cart. Instead of weight-based rules, it uses WooCommerce product shipping classes combined with capacity rules so you can model real-world constraints like “this shipping method fits up to 5 small parcels or 2 tubes, but not both at the same time.”
How it works:
- Define your shipping methods in WooCommerce (for example Standard or Express).
- Create product shipping classes (for example Small, Large, Tube) and assign them to your products.
- Create a rule here: give it a name and select which shipping methods it applies to.
- Optionally add capacity rules: define how many items of each shipping class fit into this shipment.
- Activate the rule. It applies as soon as all capacity constraints are met.
- Optionally enable free shipping from a certain cart value.
Features:
- Rules based on product shipping classes and capacity, not weight
- Multiple shipping methods per rule
- Capacity rules per shipping class (for example max. 5 Small, max. 2 Tube)
- Drag and drop to reorder rules – the first matching rule wins
- Free shipping threshold that sets all allowed shipping methods in the matching rule to no cost
- Active and inactive toggle per rule with validation
- Inactive WooCommerce shipping methods shown with a clear label
- Multilingual: English, German (DE/CH), French (FR/CH), Italian (IT/CH)
- Clean admin UI integrated into the WooCommerce menu
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Go to WooCommerce -> Shipping Rules to configure your rules.
Make sure you have at least one shipping zone with shipping methods configured in WooCommerce before creating rules.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work with weight-based shipping?
No. This plugin controls shipping method availability based on product shipping classes and capacity (size/type), not weight.
What happens if no rule matches?
If no rule matches the cart contents, WooCommerce falls back to its standard shipping method display and all enabled methods for the customer’s zone are shown.
Can a rule have multiple shipping methods?
Yes. You can assign multiple shipping methods to a single rule. All selected methods will be available at checkout when the rule applies.
What are capacity rules?
Capacity rules define how many items of a given product shipping class fit into a shipment. A rule only matches if every shipping class present in the package has a capacity rule defined, and none of the limits are exceeded.
Is free shipping supported?
Yes. You can define a cart value threshold. When reached, all allowed shipping methods in the matching rule are displayed at no cost.
Does the free shipping threshold take coupons into account?
You decide. With the “Consider coupon discounts” option enabled, the cart value is checked after coupon discounts, so a coupon that pushes the cart value back below the threshold removes free shipping again. With the option disabled, the cart value before coupon discounts is used, so free shipping stays in effect once the threshold has been reached regardless of any coupon.
