Usage

↑ Back to top

After the store owner sets the plugin settings, the plugin will be able to calculate the shipping fees for customer’s destination shipments.

The plugin’s shipping method doesn’t appear on checkout, until customer fill in the destination country to these that plugin accepts.

If customer fill in an accepted country, the plugin’s shipping method appears in the shipping method list with the shipping cost to this destination.

An autocomplete plugin is recommended to help customer fill in exactly the destination details (address_1, city, postcode)

Troubleshooting

↑ Back to top

For shipping countries/zones that are enabled, don’t leave shipping cost fields empty, may cause an error.

FAQs

↑ Back to top

Can I change the final shipping cost with code?

↑ Back to top

Yes, with GTSF_shipping_cost filter.

Is it possible to delete all plugin’s settings upon uninstallation?

↑ Back to top

Yes, just put the line code
define(‘GENIKI_TAXYDROMIKI_SHIPPING_FEES_COMPLETELY_UNINSTALL’, true);
in your wp-config.php and deactivate & delete the plugin from plugins’ page.
This will delete the table woocommerce_gen_taxidromiki_inaccessible_areas from the DB and the corresponding options from the options’ table.

Does this plugin support Cash on Delivery fees calculation?

↑ Back to top

Not yet. This plugin is a plugin for calculation shipping costs. Cash on Delivery is a payment method, not a shipping method.
But in the future, this feature may be implemented…
