FAQ

Not with the Shiping Zones, no, but it’s compatible with WooCommerce 2.6+.
This plugin was designed pre WooCommerce 2.6 in part to solve the problem that the new Shipping Zones have now solved. It makes no sense to make it work with the new Shipping Zones, but you can still use this shipping method as an alternative if you want to.
The plugin will still be mantained, but with little to no updates from now on.
