Assigning Shipping Methods to a Product

Step-by-step guide to assigning allowed shipping methods to an individual product from the WooCommerce product editor.

Assigning Shipping Methods to a Product

Step-by-step guide to assigning allowed shipping methods to an individual product from the WooCommerce product editor.

What this does

When you assign shipping methods to a product, only those methods will appear at checkout when that product is in the cart. All other methods configured in your Shipping Zones are hidden for that product.


Steps

  1. Go to Products → All Products in your WordPress admin and open the product you want to configure.
  2. Scroll down to the Product Data meta box, then find the Shipping Methods tab or panel added by the plugin. (In some themes this appears as a dedicated meta box below the product data area.)
  3. You'll see a list of all shipping methods from your active WooCommerce Shipping Zones. Check the methods you want to allow for this product.
  4. Leave a method unchecked to hide it when this product is in the cart.
  5. If you want to hide shipping entirely — for example, for a digital download — leave all methods unchecked (or look for the "disable shipping" toggle if available in your version).
  6. Click Update to save the product.

Checking it works

Add the product to a test cart and proceed to checkout. You should see only the methods you selected. If you see all methods or no methods at all, check the Troubleshooting: Shipping Methods Not Filtering Correctly article.


A few things to keep in mind

  • The plugin only lists methods that exist in your WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping Zones. If a method doesn't appear in the product editor, make sure it's added to the correct zone first.
  • Changes apply immediately after saving the product — no cache to clear in the plugin itself, though a full-page cache (if you use one) may need to be purged.
  • For products in multiple categories or with multiple tags, per-product rules take the highest priority when the premium version is active.

How Shipping Gateway Per Product Works

Understand the plugin's core logic — what it filters, where rules are set, and how they interact at checkout.

Setting Up Shipping Rules for a Product Category

Assign allowed shipping methods to a WooCommerce product category so every product in it inherits the same rule.
