Privacy Policy
This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data beyond what is already collected by WooCommerce during the normal checkout process.
Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping, select your shipping zone, click on the LocShip for WooCommerce method, and use the “Delivery Areas” table to add locations and their costs. Click “Add New Area” to add more rows.
Yes! You can add the LocShip for WooCommerce method to multiple shipping zones, and each zone can have its own unique set of delivery areas and pricing.
The plugin includes validation that prevents checkout completion until a delivery area is selected. Customers will see an error message prompting them to choose their area.
Yes, the plugin includes CSS files in the assets/css directory that you can customize. You can also add custom CSS through your theme or a custom CSS plugin.
Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (Custom Order Tables).
Yes, LocShip for WooCommerce works alongside other WooCommerce shipping methods. Customers will see all available shipping options at checkout.
Yes, you can set a default cost in the shipping method settings. This will be used if no specific delivery area is selected (though the plugin requires selection at checkout).
If you are using a modern Block Theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four), your checkout page might be using the “Checkout Block” instead of the Classic Checkout. This plugin requires the Classic Checkout engine to function.
To fix this:
1. Go to Pages > Checkout and edit the page.
2. Delete the Checkout Block.
3. Add a Shortcode block.
4. Paste this shortcode: [woocommerce_checkout]
5. Update the page. The button will now appear.
Yes, the plugin uses WordPress localization functions and includes a text domain for easy translation.
