Weight Based Shipping for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 43% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I have been using this plugin now for about 3 years with my small online business and it has worked brilliantly without missing a beat. It was also easy to setup. Moving on now to the paid version due to my expanding needs.

   Had a problem (mostly a lack of knowledge!) in setting up different shipping rates for different products. Dependant on weight of some of the products, shipping needed to be free for the entire purchase, but this only applied if a particular class of products was over a minimum weight. I reached out for assistance, and Dan was quick to respond with exactly what I needed to clarify how to line it all up. Much appreciated, it’s working exactly like we needed it to. Thanks Dan!

   Because it creates its own separate zone tab under WC shipping settings this causes a massive amount of confusion when it comes to setting up the rates – do you set them up in the standard shipping zone section or under the weight based tab??? nothing is very clear and only through a process of trial and error can you work how to get it to work the way you want it.
