Biggest opportunity: Swap “flexible shipping” and “shipping rates” for “rule based shipping” and “rule”. “flexible shipping” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rule based shipping” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “shipping rates” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rule” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.2%
of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,155 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I have a Woo site where I need around 30 shipping rules which are based on a combination of shipping addresses, user roles and package weight. There are also a number of criteria for when free shipping should be applied based on order value and user role. Advanced rule based shipping made it easy to implement the rules, and it just works! In addition, I had a need for a condition for a rule which was not present. Repon, the developer responded to my request quickly and in less than 24 hours, the enhancement was released an working! Fantastic plugin and support!

Amazing plugin, solved our issue with complex shipping rules. I cant find a plugin out there like this one. And right now its completely free. Needed some minor assistance so messaged the developer and he responded instantly. 10/10 plugin. What a hidden Gem!

EDITED: I am using the full paid version and it is working very well. I will most definitely invest into more tools from this company and Repon. You will not find a more powerful shipping tool. Repon is also excellent with support and assisting in fixing issues.Don’t have doubts, use the plugin… This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by Jacques Erasmus. Reason: Purchased full version
