Hi Reinhold,

I have an urgent issue.
Since my shop has virtual and normal products (that are being shipped), I'd like to exclude the virtual products from the shipping calculations.

My 2 formulas are not that simple and look like this at the moment:
1. evaluate_for_categories(Total, not("virtual_product_category" in categories))=<80; contains_any(ShippingClasses, "normal_products", "virtual_products") AND contains_none(ShippingClasses, "heavy_products"); 7.00
2. condition=contains_only(ShippingClasses, "light_products", "virtual_products"); evaluate_for_categories(Total, not("virtual_product_category" in categories))=<80; Shipping=3.00

What these functions should lead to:
1. Calculate the total € amount of all products, that are not in the category "virtual_product_category" and check if it's below 80€. Check if the cart contains at least one with the shipping class "normal_products" and contains no product with the shipping class "heavy_products". If these criteria are met, offer 7€ shipping.
2. Check if there are only products with the shipping classes "light_products" and "virtual_products" in the cart. Calculate the total € amount of all products, that are not in the category "virtual_product_category" and check if it's below 80€. If these criteria are met, offer 3€ shipping.

Please Help!
With the above functions set, the shop is offering always 7€ shipping.
(Further Information: I have another "premium" shipping method set with the normal woocommerce setting, so there is always an alternative)

Kind regards
Silke

Dear Silke,
1) The order of the rules is relevant: The plugin will go through the rules sequentially and use the first rule where all conditions match. Since any cart that contains only virtual products also fulfills the condition of the first rule, the plugin will always offer the first rule for virtual products. You might need to add an additional rule for the case that only virtual products are purchased...
2) The evaluate_for_categories expects only category names as the second and all further arguments. In particular, you cannot give a negative condition on the categories. You can, however, simply use the order total and subtract the total restricted to those categories. Something like the following should work:a

Thanks Reinhold! These formulas solved it!
