set WooCommerce shipping charges for multiple items

    I am trying to set up flat rate shipping charges for multiple items e.g. $20 for the first item plus $5 for each additional item.

    Under the Shipping zones tab I’ve used two methods:
    Parcel post – Flat rate
    Express post – flat rate

    I’ve use the formula 20 + ( 5 * [qty] ) for Parcel post
    and 25 + ( 5 * [qty]) for Express post

    My issue is that the cart shows an additional charge of $5 on top of the first $5. So if there are two items the charge for Parcel post becomes $30, not $25

    I’ve set up shipping classes for the two rates; entered the formula in the cost field (under ‘Flat rate’ and also added the formulas in the ‘Shipping Class’ fields.

    Please help

    Hi @colleenr, have you resolved this issue? Sorry that we missed your initial post.

    I’ve use the formula 20 + ( 5 * [qty] ) for Parcel post
    and 25 + ( 5 * [qty]) for Express post

    My issue is that the cart shows an additional charge of $5 on top of the first $5. So if there are two items the charge for Parcel post becomes $30, not $25

    [qty] will be the number of items in the cart. Try the following instead so that the $5 fee is applied to one less than the number of items in the cart (since the first item costs $20).

    20 + ( 5 * [qty - 1] )

    I hope that helps!

    Hello @drwpcom
    Thanks for your reply. I tried inserting [qty – 1 ] but I get this error message illegal character ‘[‘ and the formula reverts back to [qty]

    Hi @colleenr.

    Please try 15 + (5 * [qty]) which is the same as 20 + ( 5 * [qty - 1] )

    Then your other formula would be 20 + ( 5 * [qty])

    I’ve tested it on my site and it should work for you.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
