Description
WooCommerce Flat Rate Box Shipping is a WooCommerce plugin for WordPress stores that want more accurate shipping quotes based on how orders are packed. Instead of using one-size-fits-all flat rates, it calculates package box size, weight, and a configurable percentage of the item cost used in the shipment.
The result is shipping charges that better reflect real fulfillment effort while keeping the checkout experience transparent for customers. With support for multiple box rates by destination, you can control how rates apply across regions and improve profitability and planning for each order flow.
