How to set shipping to auto-calculate price based on weight?

    I thought it was set this way, may it was changed with the latest update or something.

    But I want to set the shipping so that instead of a flat rate price, if a customer orders 5 or 10 of something it calculates the weight and syncs it with USPS shipping prices and populates that value then.

    Is this possible?

    if not, how do you set shipping values for multiple items that would be too expensive to ship based on the flat rate pricing?

    Hi there,

    The WooCommerce Services plugin supports USPS shipping rates that can be calculated based on the weight you setup on your products.

    See the plugin page here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-services/
    And this is the documentation of the extension about live shipping rates.

    Hope this helps.

    So I’ve had the woocommerce services installed, but it does not give me a USPS option in the shipping dropdown when adding the various shipping methods inside of the woocommerce settings

    Why isn’t this option available?

    I need your help to check a few things:
    (1) Do you have Jetpack installed?
    (2) Make sure the WordPress.com account you logged in to Jetpack and WooCommerce is the same.
    (3) Double-check your store’s currency setting. It must be in US Dollar in order to have the USPS option. (See the first question in the FAQ section)

    Ahh yeah ok I guess some how I was signed out of jetpack and that’s why I’ve been having this issue the whole time as I thought I had already set all of this up correctly already.

    Thanks for the help!
