What It Does
This plugin allows your customers to calculate shipping before adding the product to the cart. It checks available shipping methods in their area. Customers can know whether the product can be shipped to their location, so they do not have to go to the checkout page to find out that shipping is not available.
The plugin shows the available shipping methods even when a customer has not added their address. It shows methods based on the shipping zone assigned to the customer by WooCommerce. They can change the delivery location and see the updated cost and shipping methods available for that particular location.
All calculations are done via AJAX, so no page reload is needed, and page caching will not affect it. The position of the calculator on the product page can be changed to be above or below the Add to cart button. The plugin supports WPML and Polylang for multilingual setups.
