    It looks like you are trying to set up a custom shipping calculation in WooCommerce for a specific scenario. To achieve the flat rate of $5.99 for the first item and $2.50 for each additional item in the same shipping class, you can use the following steps:

    1. Login to your WordPress admin panel: Visit https://magicalduck.com/wp-admin/ and log in with your credentials.
    2. Navigate to WooCommerce Settings:
      • Go to WooCommerce > Settings from the left-hand menu.
      • Click on the “Shipping” tab.
    3. Configure Shipping Classes:
      • In the “Shipping” tab, you’ll see a sub-tab called “Shipping Classes.” Click on it.
      • Here, you can add or edit shipping classes. Make sure you have the necessary shipping classes set up.
    4. Set Up Flat Rate Shipping Method:
      • Now, go back to the “Shipping” tab.
      • You should see a list of shipping zones. Choose the appropriate shipping zone for your scenario or create a new one.
      • Within the shipping zone, find the “Flat Rate” shipping method and click on it to edit.
    5. Configure Flat Rate Settings:
      • Under the “Flat Rate” settings, enable the method.
      • Set the Cost to $5.99 (for the first item).
    6. Add Additional Cost for Each Item:
      • Below the “Cost” field, you should see an option for “Cost per item.” Enter $2.50.
    7. Save Changes:
      • Click the “Save changes” button to save your settings.

    Now, the configuration should be set up to charge $5.99 for the first item and $2.50 for each additional item in the same shipping class. Make sure to test the setup by adding products to the cart and checking the calculated shipping costs during the checkout process.

    Hi @michaelgs,

    To set up a flat rate per shipping class, you could try the below steps:

    1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Classes.
    2. Add a new shipping class for each different class of product you have.
    3. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Flat Rate.
    4. In the “Cost” field, enter $5.99.
    5. In the “Shipping Class Costs” field, enter $2.50 * ([qty] – 1) for each shipping class you have created.

    This setup should charge a flat rate of $5.99 for the first item and $2.50 for each additional item in the same shipping class.

    If you have many shipping classes and want to automate the process, consider using the Table Rate Shipping plugin. This plugin enables you to create complex rules for shipping costs based on the number of items, shipping class, price, weight, and more.

    I hope this helps! Please let us know how it goes or if you need further assistance.
