Shipping Cost Display Method

    I am stuck with a problem I can find no solution for. Maybe someone here is able to help.
    I just built up my first online shop on wordpress with woocommerce. I don’t have a lot of products but it is important that my shipping classes change with the amount of items. That’s why i downloaded the plugin “Flat Rate Shipping Plugin For WooCommerce”. I was able to add the quantity feature –> as soon as someone shops more than 2 items the shipping price adds up BUT (here comes the question:)
    The old/ wrong prize does not disappear. So I have two possible shipping costs and the customer can decide whether to go with the cheaper or more expensive one. What obviously makes no sense, so how do I disable that? Sure I want the more expensive one to be the main and only price displayed. Can you help?

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out!

    I understand that you’ve just started configuring your shipping setup and you’d like to have shipping classes change depending on the number of items in cart.

    With WooCommerce by default, shipping classes are static and one shipping class can be assigned to one product. The quantity of items in cart will have no effect on individual shipping classes of products.

    That’s why i downloaded the plugin “Flat Rate Shipping Plugin For WooCommerce”. I was able to add the quantity feature –> as soon as someone shops more than 2 items the shipping price adds up BUT (here comes the question:)

    If there are two active shipping methods in your shipping zone – both will show up.

    If you are using the new shipping method added by Flat Rate Shipping plugin along with your old shipping method – both will show and the only way to prevent that is to use a plugin such as Conditional Shipping and Payments which can hide particular shipping methods based on given conditions.

    For assistance with Flat Rate Shipping plugin please make a post in the support forum of this plugin:

    Just to clarify here. I re-read your question and I understand that you want the shipping cost to be multiplied by the number of items in the cart.
    You can actually achieve this using the default Flat Rate Shipping method that comes with WooCommerce out of the box.
    In the cost field you can use a placeholder to represent the quantity as follows:
    2.30 * [qty]

    This will offer a shipping cost of $2.30 times the quantity of items in the cart.

    You can read more about this here:
    https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/flat-rate-shipping/#section-2

    As my colleague mentioned, shipping rates will be returned for all shipping methods that you have in the shipping zone, so make sure that Flat Rate is the only one in the Zone.
