Simple Shipping Too Complex?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’ve basically got two different types of products that require shipping. I’d like to have just a standard “Flat Rate” price for each product type/group?

You should be able to do this without Table Rate Shipping. You will need to create the two different Shipping Classes, add a Flat Rate Shipping method to each applicable Shipping Zone, and add the costs in your Flat Rate Shipping settings. I set this up on my test site so you could take a look.

First, I created two Shipping Classes for Large and Small Items. After I added a Flat Rate method to my zone, I edited it and assigned the costs here: https://cld.wthms.co/0fIzVP

Once this is done, you also need to assign each product to a class individually: https://cld.wthms.co/2LD6tX

I guess the other caveat is that the “Flat Rate” is only good for up to a certain quantity of products. Is that logic going to force me to a table shipping configuration setting as well?

I’m not sure what you mean by it’s only good for a qty of products. You should be able to use Flat Rate for as many products as you’d like. Would you mind clarifying on this?

Thanks!
