CFD Multi-Tiered Shipping For WooCommerce vs WooCommerce Shipping

WordPress administrators can create a multi-tiered flat rate shipping cost based on the total number of items in a WooCommerce cart. The store administrator can choose to apply this shipping method to all available countries or to specific countries. This flexible shipping method provides up to 4 tiers, suitable for USPS flat-rate boxes. Also provided are several large-order shipping cost calculation methods for refining your total shipping costs calculations. By default there are four tiers; 1, 2, 3, 4 – small to large. Tiers 3 and 4 may be disabled if not needed. Examples One of the following examples may help you determine how best to configure the settings to get the results you require. Once you have saved your settings, be sure to look at the review table at the bottom of the settings page to confirm that your settings are calculating the shipping costs as anticipated.
