With great sadness we have to announce that we are ceasing development of all our VirtueMart, WooCommerce and Joomla plugins. Effective immediately, all our plugins -- even those that were paid downloads -- are made available for free from our homepage (GPL license still applies), but we cannot and will not provide any support anymore.
It has been a great pleasure to be part of the thriving development communities of VirtueMart as well as WooCommerce. However, during the last year it became painstakingly clear that in addition to a full-time job, a young family and several other time-consuming hobbies at professional level (like being a professional singer) the plugin development and the support that it requires is not sustainable and is taking its toll. It has been an honor, but it is now time to say good bye!

Shipping by Rules for WooCommerce, Version 2.0.6 Filename: opentools-woocommerce-shipping-by-rules_v2.0.6.zip MIME-Type: application/zip File size: 91919 Bytes |
Determine even very complex shipping costs according to general conditions. Shipping costs can depend on e.g.:
The plugin exists in two different versions, this free version, which supports fixed bounds for all properties, and a paid version, which allows all conditions and shipping rules to contain arbitrary mathematical expressions (like an OR operator, multiplication, addition, subtraction, functions like rounding etc.). See the documentation for all the differences.
Each rule is described as a simple line of text with an easy structure (semicolons separate the parts of the rule). For example:Name=Free Shipping; 100<=Amount; 0
Name=Domestic Small; Articles<5; Weight<3; shipping=6
Name=Domestic Standard; Amount<100; Shipping=15
This set of rules describes three shipping costs: Orders of 100€ and more are free, otherwise if the order weighs less than 3kg and has less than 5 articles, the shipping is 6€, all other orders cost 15€.
The advanced version of the plugin also allows shipping costs like 5% of the order amount, or 10€ per kg, or 2€ per additional article. More advanced rules are employed by cargo companies, where the shipping per kg gets cheaper the more you ship.For more (and more real-life) examples of advanced shipping cost calculations, see the examples in the documentation.
