Flat Rate Shipping Method 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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 56% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I had an issue that was quite tricky to resolve, but the support team handled it with exceptional patience and professionalism. They took the time to understand my problem in detail, guided me step-by-step, and made sure everything was working perfectly before wrapping up. Their clear communication and friendly attitude made the whole process stress-free. Truly outstanding customer service—thank you for going above and beyond!

   It’s useless as a freeware. Most of the important features are available in pro version. The problem is that plugins like this one is extremely waste of time. You’re trying to set quite simple shipment rule, you take some time to do it, and all variations you imagined somehow needs a pro. None of this is user friendly, it’s all about to trick somebody to pay for it. Not OK.

   I bought this plugin to create multiple flat rate shipping rules for multiple zones and specific products. It’s been easy to use and has enabled us to have complete control how much we charge to ship specific products to specific zones. It’s a great plugin and I’m sure I’ll be using it on other ecommerce sites in future.

   Complex products with different sendings costs lead us to this shipping cost plugin and it works perfectly! We had an issue twice and both times support responded within 24 hours and solved the issue. Highly recommend!

   My client has a lot of flat rate shipping rules for different products on his ‘current’ OpenCart store. We are rebuilding his shop using WooCommerce and needed to replicate those flat rate rules. We’re using the Pro version of Advanced Flat Rate Shipping. This plugin has just about everything we need, minus one minor compatibility, however the DotStore is willing to incorporate that compatibility in an upcoming release. Hitendra and the team have given fantastic support and guidance the entire way and helped with any setup issues I had. I only wish they had a lot more WooCommerce plugins for other types of integrations. With the quality and support you get, it would be a no brainer and I’d feel confident buying them. Thank you, DotStore!

   Like others have mentioned. The plugin is good, but I am ticked off that no matter what I do I can’t get rid of the banner asking for a review. So, here you go, because I am forced to do it, you get 1 star. Update. Well even after leaving a review, it STILL won’t go away. So, bye-bye plugin. You are getting deleted! Update 12-30-21: As you can see the plugin authors decided to get rid of the review request entirely. I updated the plugin and the review request was finally gone! So I have updated the rating I gave it. Thank you for being responsive to my & others requests. This topic was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by oilbizguru.
