1. Set shipping in WooCommerce (methods & classes)
The first method is given by a standard WooCommerce installation. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping and set more shipping methods for specific regions (to differentiate costs between closer and further locations):
Next, set a few shipping classes to raise the cost based on a package, additional shipping costs, insurance, etc.:
Then, you can add costs per shipping method based on shipping class:
Finally, select the shipping class per specific WooCommerce product when adding or editing it:
You may also set the shipping class for more products using the Edit option:
So, this method will let you set different shipping costs per WooCommerce shipping class for each shipping method/ shipping!
As you can see, the default WooCommerce may help you in setting the shipping cost per product.
