Backend / manual orders – apply weight based shipping

    One of our clients is pretty happy with thisplugin, but now came up with the following question:
    Is it possible that the weight based shipping plugin auto-determines the shipping costs for backend orders?
    Thus, we manually set up an order in the backend, choose customer and delivery country, add some products, then add weight based shipping as “product”/ shipping method.
    Now, since there are products in the order already, it should be possible to calculate shipping costs based on the products and country, right?

    But it seems that there is no auto-calculation then, we always must sepcify shipping costs manually…

    Unfortunately, WooCommerce does not offer a way to calculate the shipping costs on the backend. The only option is to provide it manually.

    ok, thanks a lot.
    Is it possible to access / use the functions of weight based shipping?
    Maybe we can then simply include an extra field that auto-updates if a product is added to the order using the logics of the plugin. By this, we can easily caopy the calculated value / type in manually.

    The plugin implements the Shipping Method API that can be accessed from your custom code snippet or an add-on.

    Hi Dan, thanks a lot.
    Sounds very good, we will check what we can do and if it’s possible to integrate such a functionality using the shipping API.
