Flat Rate by location (not linked to zip codes)

    Hi, there. I’m making a local restaurant’s delivery website based on woocommerce. The food is delivery by motorcicle and there are lots of regions in my city and some of them don’t have a specific zipcode. I will have to set at least 50 different flat rates, but as I said it cannot be linked to ZIP CODES.

    Is there a way to set flat rules by location? Ex: “Westside” – U$ 20 , “East Side” – U$ 10 , but not entering any zipcodes to say where westside is located.

    It would be nice if it is possible for the user to choose on a dropdown menu.
    which of those region the food needs to be delivered .

    Is is it possible to do that? Or is there a plugin that does the job?

    Thank you so much for your attention.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    I understand that instead of letting the system handle the shipping price according to the ZIP code entered during the checkout, you’d like to define the shipping zones in some other way.

    With WooCommerce by default, the system attempts to match the shipping address your customers enter at the checkout page (including the ZIP code) to one of your shipping zones.

    It is technically possible to only use one shipping zone and add multiple flat rate shipping methods. Those should show up at the checkout page and your customers will be able to select one, but in that case, there is no guarantee the right shipping method will be selected.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi, there! It helped me a lot, thank you so much! I’m almost there, but I still need some help, please.

    I’ve been trying to solve this for days.

    I did what you told me too and also installed a plugin to show shipping flat rate as a dropdown menu. But I still need to move this field from “order summary” form to “shipping address form”, to be shown maybe before city’s field. Is that possible?

    It would be a dream if I can make this dropdown searchable as well.

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Hi there,

    I’m glad to hear my suggestion helped!

    Moving the shipping options to shipping address form would require code customization. It might be possible to do that through some actions/filters:

    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/

    It would be a dream if I can make this dropdown searchable as well.

    That would also require code customization. I’ll leave this thread open for a bit to see if someone has any particular code changes to suggest, although it might be hard since we don’t know how the dropdown plugin you’ve mentioned works.

    Otherwise, you may want to hire a developer for this kind of code changes.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi there,

    We haven’t heard from you or anyone else in this thread in a while so I’ll be marking it as resolved.

    Feel free to open a new thread and link to this one if you have further questions though.

    Have a wonderful day ahead!
