Overview #
The WooCommerce Shipping Options plugin allows you to customize shipping options including hiding other shipping options when free shipping is available, granting free shipping on a per-product basis, displaying only the most expensive shipping option, and so on.
Managing your WooCommerce shipping efficiently is the key to succeeding as an online retailer. WooCommerce comes with a lot of shipping options to make your life as an entrepreneur easy. For example, you can choose to use a Flat rate shipping where customers pay a flat fee to receive their orders. In addition to that, WooCommerce provides other options such as Local pickup and Free shipping.
However, the limitation of the WooCommerce free shipping options is that it does not offer much flexibility. For example, you cannot decide to apply free shipping on specific products. This is where the WooCommerce Shipping Options plugin module comes into play.
