Easy Shipping Rate for WooCommerce vs Really Simple Security – Simple and Performant Security (formerly Really Simple SSL)

Easy Shipping Rate gives WooCommerce store owners full control over shipping costs — without writing a single line of code. Build as many custom shipping methods as you need, assign them to any shipping zone, and price them with flexible conditions that match your exact business rules. From a simple flat rate to a full table-rate matrix, everything is configured on one screen — a complete shipping toolbox in a single download. At a glance 🚚 Conditional & table-rate pricing by cart total, weight, dimensions, products, location, role and more. 🧮 Formulas & percentages in the cost field — 5+[qty]*1.50 or [subtotal]*0.08. 🎁 Free shipping by minimum amount, coupon, postcode, or any combination. ⚡ One-click starter templates — load a ready-made rule set and tweak it, instead of starting from a blank table. 🔎 Built-in debug mode — see exactly which rule set each shipping cost, right on the cart, without guesswork. 🛒 Built for the block editor — works in the classic cart/checkout and the new WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks. 🌍 Speaks your language — the plugin ships translated, and your own method names and labels are translatable with WPML or Polylang. ✅ HPOS compatible and ready to use out of the box — install it and start shipping. Quick start: your first shipping rate in 2 minutes Never set up shipping before? Follow these steps and you are done: Activate the plugin. Make sure WooCommerce is active first, then activate Easy Shipping Rate. Open your shipping settings. In the WordPress admin menu, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping. Pick where you ship. Click a shipping zone (a zone is simply an area you deliver to, like your country). If you have none yet, click Add zone and choose your country. Add the method. Inside the zone, click Add shipping method, select Easy Shipping from the list, and confirm. Name it and set a price. Open the new method, type a name your customers will see (for example “Standard delivery”), and enter an amount in the cost field (for example 5). Save. Click Save changes. Your shipping rate is now live at checkout. That is all you need for a flat rate. When you want to charge by weight, cart total, location, customer role and more, just add extra rules to the same method — every option is explained right on the screen. Each method supports multiple stacked rules. Choose whether matching rules are summed, or whether only the lowest or highest cost applies — covering everything from simple flat rates to complex table-rate scenarios. What you can do Set shipping costs based on cart subtotal, quantity, weight, volume, dimensional weight, or number of line items. Price rules with formulas and percentages: set the cost to 5+[qty]*1.50 or [subtotal]*0.08 using cart tokens. Target customers by location (postcode, city, state, country) or user role. Apply rules based on the products or shipping classes in the cart. Offer free shipping triggered by a minimum order amount, a valid coupon, a specific postcode, or any combination. Nudge shoppers with a “Spend $X more to get free shipping” reminder — on the cart and the checkout, in both the classic templates and the WooCommerce blocks. Set a minimum and maximum cost per method. Show customers a custom description and estimated delivery date at checkout. Translate method titles, descriptions and free shipping labels per language with WPML or Polylang. Restrict a method to logged-in users only. Pre-select a default shipping method on the cart page. Hide all other methods automatically when free shipping is available. Schedule a method with a start and end date. Import and export shipping methods as CSV files to copy them between zones or stores. Load a ready-made template and duplicate rules to build a full rate table in minutes. Debug why a rate was charged with an admin-only report on the cart and checkout. Fast to set up, easy to manage Building shipping rules should not feel like work. Every part of the interface is designed to get you to a working rate quickly and keep it maintainable as it grows: Start from a template — a “Load a template” picker fills the table with a ready-made scenario (flat rate, free shipping above an amount, weight-based tiers, free shipping for chosen postcodes) that you can adjust before saving. Duplicate any rule in one click — copy a row to build a big table fast, without retyping every condition. Tidy, collapsible sections — each group of settings folds behind a toggle, so a long method fits on one screen and nothing gets missed. Per-row controls — duplicate or delete a rule right where it sits, with a confirmation before anything is removed. Know exactly why a rate was charged (debug mode) Turn on debug mode for any method and, as an administrator, you get a clear report right on the cart and checkout showing every rule that was evaluated, whether it matched, the cart value it was tested against, and the resulting cost — plus the final calculation. Customers never see it. It turns “why is shipping $12 here?” into a two-second answer, and you can switch it on temporarily by adding ?debug_shipping=1 to the cart URL. Works everywhere your store does WooCommerce Cart & Checkout blocks — the free shipping reminder and your method details show up in the new block-based pages, not just the classic shortcodes. Multilingual stores — names and labels you type are registered for translation, so WPML and Polylang shoppers see them in their own language. A translated admin — the plugin’s own screens, including every rule condition and its explanations, ship in several languages, so whoever configures shipping does not have to work in English. High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatibility are declared, so WooCommerce never flags the plugin. Why choose Easy Shipping Rate? Everything listed above is in the free plugin and works from the moment you activate it: formula pricing, conditional rules, location and role targeting, free shipping triggers, cost caps, scheduling, import and export, starter templates and the debug report. Build a simple flat rate in seconds, or a full table-rate matrix with stacked conditional rules — all from one screen, with no code. Going further with Pro The free plugin covers everything above and stays that way. Pro exists for stores whose rates depend on what is in the basket and when the customer orders — the cases that need product data and timing rather than totals and destinations. Eleven new rule conditions, each usable on its own or stacked with the free ones: Product category — a different rate for furniture, for frozen food, for anything you already group. The picker searches your catalogue as you type, so ten thousand categories stay usable. Product tag — the same, based on the tags you use across categories: fragile, bulky, gift, made to order. Product type — separate rates for simple, variable, grouped and external products. Coupon code — a rate that appears only when a given coupon has been entered, for a partner code or a private offer. Day of the week — restrict a rate to the days you actually dispatch, so nobody buys same-day delivery on a Sunday. Time of day — a window with a cut-off hour, in your store’s timezone, including windows that run past midnight. Product length — catch the parcels a carrier surcharges for being too long. Product width and product height — the same, on the two other dimensions, for anything that will not fit a standard box. Items on sale — change the rate when some, or all, of the basket is discounted, so a promotion does not eat your margin twice. Stock status — a different rate for items out of stock or on backorder, which ship later and often separately. Postcode ranges and wildcards — cover a whole region with 75* or 1000-2000 instead of pasting hundreds of postcodes. “Contains all of” matching — require every selected product, category or tag to be present at once, not just one of them. The paid conditions are not a separate mode. They sit in the same table as the free ones and inherit everything the plugin already does: Formulas still apply — a category rule can cost 5+[qty]*1.50, not just a flat amount. The same actions — stop at a matching rule, hide the method entirely, or grant free shipping, on paid conditions too. The same combination modes — sum the matching rules, or keep only the lowest or the highest, mixing free and paid rules freely. The same cost caps — your minimum and maximum still frame the result. The “is not” switch — a rule can apply to every category except the ones you picked, which often replaces a dozen rules with one. The debug report covers them — paid rules appear in the admin-only report like any other, so you can see why one matched and what it charged. Your CSV export carries them — copy a full paid rule table to another zone, or to another store, in two clicks. Also included with a license: Priority email support — your questions answered by the developer, ahead of the free forum queue. A year of updates — new conditions, WooCommerce compatibility and fixes, delivered automatically. One, five or twenty-five sites — pick the plan that matches how many stores you run, and move a license between them at any time. A trial that costs nothing — fourteen days, no card, and nothing to uninstall if you stop. Your existing rules keep working — the free features never move behind the paywall, your table is untouched when you upgrade, and nothing is deleted if a license lapses. Start a fourteen-day free trial — no card required — or buy Pro straight away. Inside your admin, Easy Shipping > Upgrade to Pro shows the same comparison side by side.
