[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With WordPress, anyone can make a website, and launching an online store with WooCommerce<\/a> is about equally easy. Keeping your customers satisfied<\/strong> is another matter altogether. Similarly, as easy as it is to set up shop and make a sale, your customers will expect their goods delivered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Shipping is just one of the things your customers will expect you to have a handle on, and there is much to be considered<\/strong>. Will you charge for the shipping under any circumstances, or will you offer free shipping and cover the cost from the margin? Will you offer different rates based on weight and volume? Which carrier will you use? Some of these options are available in the basic version of WooCommerce, but what if you want more? More complexity, more choice, more flexibility? With a well chosen WooCommerce shipping plugin<\/strong> or extension you can have all the flexibility you need?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Of course, we have a selection of shipping plugins for WooCommerce for you to choose from. But let us first take a little time to discuss some features you\u2018d want to be on the lookout for when choosing a plugin for your shop.

What to Look For in a WooCommerce Shipping Plugin<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The first thing you should be considering is how flexible the plugin is in terms of options. The options you need depend on your shipping strategy. Free shipping? Discounts by weight? By number of items? Are you dead-set on a strategy or will you want to change it later? Not quite sure what you want? In that case, you\u2018ll want flexibility.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Another thing your customers might appreciate is knowing the delivery status of their goods. You\u2018ll want a shipping plugin which will make it easy for your customers to find out where their package is at all times, using a package tracking feature<\/strong>, especially if you are shipping internationally. Conversely, this feature might not be so important if you expect your goods to be delivered within a day or so, which will depend on the type of goods you offer and where your customer base is located geographically.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Finally, you\u2018ll notice that some of the plugins are carrier-specific, meaning that they are designed to get shipping done by a certain mail carrier. Again, depending on where your customer base is, you\u2018ll want to make sure that the carrier you prefer<\/strong> \u2013 if you decide to favour a carrier \u2013 can deliver<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]With that in mind, let us go over our selection of WooCommerce shipping plugins:
