Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up shipping rules?

Go to Settings -> Shipping Calculator. In the "Shipping Rules" section, you can add rules based on weight. For each rule, specify a maximum weight and the corresponding cost. The plugin will find the first rule that matches the package weight.

Can I change the currency?

Currently, the currency symbol ($) is hardcoded. This feature is planned for a future version.

Does this plugin connect to carriers like UPS or FedEx?

Not in this version. It uses a simple, rule-based system you define in the settings. API integration is a potential future enhancement.
