Overview #
The WooCommerce Shipping calculator plugin lets you customize the WooCommerce shipping calculator on the cart page. It is basically used for filtering the shipping methods based on the details filed by the user to the Calculate Shipping options such as country, state, pin code, etc. These options can be preloaded on the cart page or made available/unavailable on the user’s click.
You can also set labels for the Calculate Shipping and Update Totals buttons using it.

A Clickable Calculate Shipping link #
By default, the shipping link is clickable. It loads and unloads the city, state, and/or postcode fields on the cart page as you click on it.
A Non-Clickable Calculate Shipping link #
