Setting up shipping classes in Woocommerce.

Product shipping classes are a great way to group similar products for shipping. For example, if your store sells a couple of very large, bulky items you may want to put them in their own shipping class with their own unique shipping cost.

Grouping these products together in a way that is similar to post or product categories allows you to define specific shipping costs for items. WooCommerce shipping methods such as Flat Rate Shipping and Table Rate Shipping allow you to use shipping classes to calculate their costs.

Below we will discuss:

Creating a Shipping Class in WooCommerce

To create a new shipping class go to Products > Shipping Classes from your WordPress dashboard.

Next, enter a Name for your shipping class and add a URL friendly slug (this will automatically fill in if you leave it blank). If you are going to be using several shipping classes on your website, we would recommend using a description so it is easier for you to tell them apart.

In the example below, we have created a shipping class for bulky items on our website.

Repeat this process for all of the shipping classes you will need on your website. Now you are ready to add your products to your shipping class!

Adding Products to Shipping Classes

Now that you’ve created a shipping class, it is time to add some products!

To assign a shipping class to a product, go to the Shipping tab on one of your products and select your shipping class from the drop-down list.

If you have a lot of products you need to add to a shipping class, you can add them in bulk. From your products dashboard, select all of the products you would like to add to the shipping class and select Edit under Bulk actions.

Then, under shipping class, select your shipping class from the drop-down list and click Update. Now all of the products you selected have been assigned to that shipping class!

Now that you have added a shipping class and added products to that shipping class, it is time to use that class to define your rate. Below we will cover how to set flat rate shipping costs based on your shipping classes.

Flat Rate Per Shipping Class

To access your shipping options go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping.

Then, if you would like to charge a flat rate per shipping class select Calculation Type > Per Class – charge shipping for each shipping class in an order.

WooCommerce Flat Rate by Shipping Class

Then, you can define the flat rates per shipping class.

Then, you can define the flat rates per shipping class. In the example below, we are charging $5.25 for all products that are in the “Over 10 lbs” shipping class we created and $2.25 for all products in the “Under 10 lbs” shipping class we created.

So if a customer had 1 product that is in the “Over” shipping class and 1 product that is in the “Under” shipping class in their cart they would pay $7.50for shipping.

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of anything they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
