    Hello,

    I have created one custom shipping method which will calculate shipping cost based on product weight and different dimensions. I can see shipping cost on front-end cart page as well as on checkout page. It is working fine as expected.

    But when i create order manually from backend (wp-admin) in Woocommerce, then i can see that it does not calculate shipping cost automatically. I have to enter it manually shipping cost.

    Currently we have to enter “add shipping” button then choose “Shipping method” then we have to enter “Price” manually. https://prnt.sc/zaRKRK5ZvZce

    So is there any option or woocommerce hooks to automate Shipping generation for admin orders ?

  • Hi @dineshravajani

    Thanks for the description.

    Please be aware that such a feature is not available in WooCommerce out of the box.

    Automatic calculations happen on the frontend of the site to facilitate sales without requiring human intervention. However, when you’re entering orders manually, then you get to have full control over the values that you provide.

    When adding orders manually, one will need to add the shipping costs manually as well. Shipping calculations get triggered only through the front-end checkout.

    One possible workaround would be to use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-switching/ and then work through a front-end checkout process while assuming the account of a customer.

    You could, however, go for a custom coded solution. For help with custom code I recommend the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal.

    You can also visit the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce, and many of our developers hang out there, as well.

    Lastly, for direct assistance with code customizations, I recommend consulting with the WooCommerce Customizations Partners. https://woocommerce.com/customizations/

    Nevertheless, I’m going to leave this thread open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out here.

    Cheers

    @margaretwporg Thank you for your reply.

    Hi @dineshravajani,

    I saw this request many times and thought it’s a good idea to implement this feature.
    You can find it on the plugin store.

    Hi @patrickbussmann

    Thanks for developing this plugin.

    However, kindly be informed that it is against the forum guidelines to promote one’s own plugins, themes or services.

    Oh sorry I updated the post and wrote:
    “You can find it on the plugin store.”

    Or you can remove the post.
    I tought its only helpful when its implemented now ??
    But yea if the plugin would not be open source I would not promote it.

    Sorry.
