How to do Shipping Increases with Quantity

    Hi,

    Newbie questions here.

    How do I set up the shipping rate for a simple product so that the cost of shipping increases slightly when a customer increases their quantity? Here’s what I’m trying to do.

    Product is a poster (Poster 1) and it costs $19 to ship.
    If the customer choose a quantity of two, the shipping cost should increase slightly to maybe $21.
    Also, let’s say I have another product (Poster 2) and the customer buys that as well, the shipping cost should increase by another $2 as opposed to another full charge of $19.

    I’m guessing there is some method of inputting a formula that calculates the incremental increase in shipping per unit but I’ve no idea where to do this or what syntax to enter for the calculations.

    Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @toolance,

    This article in the WooCommerce documentation will walk you through adding a shipping method that allows you to define a standard shipping rate per item.

    Specifically, the Advanced Costs section will show you how to charge a flat rate per item, a percentage based cost or a minimum fee.

    Hope this helps.
