In Woocommerce, when I add multiple products in cart, the shipping only applies to to 1 product. How should I change that to apply the cost to each item?

How to set a shipping cost by item in Woocommerce?

Answer 1

In the Woocommerce Shipping Settings for "Flat rate" Shipping Method, there is many ways to get dynamic settings based on:

• Item quantity, using [qty] argument
• Total item cost, using [cost] argument
• A fee, using [fee] argument with additional parameters percent, min_fee and max_fee

You can also use +, -, * and / operators and parenthesis.

Here are some example:

1. [qty]*2 - Cost by item
2. 4+([qty]*2.5) - Initial cost with an additional cost by item
3. [fee percentage='10' min_fee='' max_fee='20'] - Percentage fee limited to a max amount
4. [fee percentage='10' min_fee='4' max_fee=''] - Percentage fee with a minimal cost
