Shipping in WooCommerce
Setting shipping in WooCommerce is quite simple. Most settings are inside WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping.
There are also additional options “hidden” in General options.
Shipping calculations may also use the store’s address depending on this setting:
These settings will influence the WooCommerce order data and the default shipping location.
Next, the shipping cost tax depends on the WooCommerce tax rates.
So, you may add, choose, and customize the shipping methods, costs, and classes using default WooCommerce options, address settings, and tax rates. Of course, it’s possible to use new features with extra plugins (like conditional shipping/payment). I will not focus on this further.
