Installation

Rateline is free and listed on WordPress.org, so you can install it straight from your dashboard.

Install the plugin

1. Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active. Rateline won't activate without it.
2. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin and search for Rateline.
3. Click Install Now on "Rateline – Table Rate Shipping for WooCommerce", then Activate.

If you have the zip file instead, use Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the file, then Install Now and Activate.

Nothing changes at your checkout yet: Rateline adds a shipping method, and a method only appears once it's in a shipping zone.

Add Table rate to a zone

1. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping.
2. Open the zone you ship to, for example "United States", or create one with Add zone.
3. Click Add shipping method, choose Table rate, and continue.
4. The method appears in the zone's list. Click Edit under it.

The Edit link opens a full settings page rather than WooCommerce's small dialog, because the rules table needs the room.

Write your first rules

1. Give the method a Name, such as "Standard shipping". That's what customers see at checkout.
2. Under Rules, click + Add rule for each price band. For example:
   • When Weight from (empty) to 5: cost 6.95
   • When Weight from 5 to 20: cost 9.95, per lb 0.50
   • When Always: tick No shipping (nothing over 20 lbs ships)
3. Click Save changes.

Add something to your cart and open the cart or checkout: the Table rate shows with the price from the first rule that matches.

What's next
