Woocommerce Shipping Cost Calculator On Product Page is a WooCommerce plugin that allows customers to calculate shipping costs directly from the product page, before adding the item to the cart. This tool is designed for online stores that want to offer full transparency in delivery costs and reduce cart abandonment caused by unpleasant surprises at checkout.
The plugin displays available shipping methods and their costs based on the location entered by the customer in the calculation form. This way, the buyer can verify if the product can be shipped to their area and know the exact shipping price without having to navigate to the cart page or checkout process. All calculations are performed via AJAX, so no page reload is required, and it is compatible with caching plugins.
Key features include three configurable positions to display the calculator on the product page: below the title, before the add-to-cart form, or after it. It also offers a shortcode [shipping-calculator] to insert the calculator anywhere on the site. The shipping methods result can be displayed before or after the calculator, and there is an option to automatically load available shipping methods.
The plugin allows you to remove form fields (country, state, city, or postal code) when they are not needed for the calculation, as well as customize the messages shown when there are no shipping methods available for a specific location. It also includes design options to adjust background, text, and button colors, adapting the calculator to the store's aesthetics.
For developers, the plugin offers customization hooks that allow modifying shipping method titles, costs, and adding custom content around form fields. It is compatible with WPML for translation and can be configured without programming knowledge.
In short, this plugin improves the shopping experience by providing clear and early information about shipping costs, which increases customer trust and helps boost the store's conversion rate.
