By default, all orders are automatically shipped via the lowest available tracked shipping method, and there are no settings you need to change on Lulu. If you want to see how much shipping will cost, we recommend using the Pricing Calculator. After you enter your product specifications, quantity, and shipping location, we will provide you with the shipping cost.


There are several ways to set up shipping, but the simplest way is to set up shipping based on a Single Flat Rate. This will charge customers the same cost for shipping no matter where they are shipping their order. Alternatively, you can set up shipping based on Quantity or Zones.

Flat Rate

Flat Rate is the quickest and easiest method to set up. First, go to your WordPress Admin Dashboard, click WooCommerce, and select Settings. Once you are on the WooCommerce settings page, select Shipping, then click Locations not covered by your other zones.




Next, click Add Shipping Method. Select Flat Rate, then click the Add Shipping Method button again.



After adding the Flat Rate, click Edit under Flat Rate and enter the cost you want to charge your customers for shipping, then select Save Changes.


By Quantity

WooCommerce gives you the option to set the shipping rate based on the quantity in the cart by adding a formula to the cost field.


The formula is: [base cost] + ( [fee] * [qty] )


For example, if you want to charge 5 USD for shipping one book and increase the cost by 1 USD for each additional book, you can set the shipping rate using this formula.



Therefore, you will charge 5 USD for one book, 6 USD for two books, 7 USD for three books, and so on.


If one book is added to the cart, the equation will calculate as follows: 4 + ( 1 * 1) = 5

If two books are added to the cart, the equation will calculate as follows: 4 + ( 1 * 2 ) = 6


Therefore, you will charge 5 USD for one book, 6 USD for two books, 7 USD for three books, and so on.

 

Note: If you use a bundling plugin, WooCommerce will calculate the cost of shipping as if it were a single item. For example, if you use the formula above, regardless of how many products are in the bundle, the customer purchasing a bundle will only be charged 5 USD for shipping.


Zones

If you want to set up shipping based on Zones, the process is similar to adding a Single Flat Rate, but you will select Add Shipping Zone first.



Once there, enter the Zone Name, select the Zone Regions, and then click Add Shipping Method. Select Flat Rate, then click Add Shipping Method again. After adding the Flat Rate, click Edit under Flat Rate, enter the cost you want to charge your customers for shipping, and select Save Changes.


After you have completed these steps, select Save Changes again to save the newly created Zone.


Repeat this process for each region where you wish to fulfill orders.
