How to manually add Dynamic Checkout pricing in WooCommerce

  • Updated

Purpose: In this article, we explain how you can manually add prices for Dynamic Checkout delivery methods in WooCommerce. 

The Dynamic Checkout is deprecated for WooCommerce and Magento. As a current Dynamic Checkout plugin user, you can continue using the feature, but it will no longer be maintained or updated. Moving forward, you can continue using this feature through our Dynamic Checkout API. It’s currently in open Beta, meaning that it’s still under development. During this phase, we will continually monitor and test the API to improve its performance, review the returned data, and uncover potential bugs. For more information, consult our Dynamic Checkout API documentation.

The Sendcloud subscription plans have been updated. If the subscriptions shown in the banner above don’t match your current subscription plan and you’d like to know more, please click here

Add shipping rates manually in WooCommerce for Dynamic Checkout methods

If you have multiple custom shipping classes, you need to enter pricing for Dynamic Checkout shipping methods directly in your WooCommerce back-end. Otherwise, you can add rates directly in Sendcloud while configuring your delivery methods. 

Not sure how much to charge for delivery costs? You can always check the Price list directly from your Sendcloud panel. 

Step 1: Check that your checkout configuration is successfully integrated 

  1. In your WooCommerce dashboard go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping
  2.  You should see that your delivery zone appears in the list of Shipping zones as shown below shipping_zones.jpg
  3. Click on the shipping zone (e.g. Netherlands) 
  4. You should see that the shipping product you created appears as a shipping method and with Nominated Day Delivery in the description

Step 2: Create shipping classes in WooCommerce

First thing’s first - make sure you’ve created some shipping classes in your WooCommerce dashboard and associated them with your products. Not sure how to do this? You can check out the following article: Product Shipping Classes - WooCommerce

Already set up your shipping classes? Then proceed to Step 3. 

Step 3:  Add pricing to your shipping zone

Now it’s time to add pricing for your checkout delivery method.

  2. Click Edit
  3. Under Shipping methods hover over the name of your delivery product (e.g. PostNL Signature Required) 
  4. Click Edit
  5. Under the section Shipping class costs, you can begin to enter pricing for your shipping classes 
  6. Next to each shipping class enter the price you want to charge (e.g. “10kg” shipping class cost - 5.00)
  7. Next to No shipping class cost enter a flat fee for orders which aren’t associated with a shipping class 
  8. You can also Enable Free Shipping by selecting Yesfrom the dropdown menu
  9. If you choose to offer free shipping, enter a Minimum Order Amount for Free Shipping in the appropriate field 
  10. ClickSave changes when you’re done editing 

How your checkout will appear 

Once you’ve added your pricing, it will be displayed to your customers at the checkout page. The cost of delivery will appear next to the name of the carrier and shipping method in the checkout page.
