Simplest Use Case of Weight Based Shipping

    I`m missing something simple…and I have the simpliest use case possible. : \</p> <p>I only ship domestically and only sell 2 types of products: Product A 85grams & Product B: 60grams.</p> <p>The products can be shipped together so the total weight of the purchase is all that is important when getting the weight based shipping cost. Don`t need seperate Weigh Based Shipping cost for each product type. Just the total for the whole shipment.

    All products have weights. Shipping Zone is set to Japan (my country). Selling to Country is only Japan. Created Shipping Class: Weight Based Shipping and all Products are selected to use Weight Based Shipping Class.

    Any idea why the shipping cost isn`t showing up at Checkout automatically?

    Thank you.

    Shipping Class in WooCommerce is just a product attribute. Adding it to a product only affects the shipping price if you already have shipping methods set up for those shipping classes.

    I believe you don’t need shipping classes at the moment. Please start by adding a shipping zone, a Weight Based Shipping shipping method in it, and some shipping rules inside the method.

    Find more details on WooCommerce shipping zones in the docs: https://woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-shipping-zones/.

    PERFECT ! That was part of my problem.

    I assumed that if I just set up Weight Based shipping themselves..that they would automatically be integrated into the Shipping Zone and calculated at Checkout. WRONG. INSIDE the Shipping Zone (Japan in my case)….the Weight Based Shipping Costs needed to be Reentereed for that / each Zone.

    THANK YOU.

    Support as good as the product.
