WooCommerce Shipping Totals work on frontend but not backend - php

On my company's WooCommerce website, shipping calculation works on the front-end (customer facing) but not the backend (when manually placing call-in orders).
The address is put in. I've tried adding shipping classes and default shipping rates to the products, but this does not help. The shipping total stays at 0.00 unless I manually put in an amount by adding it manually through meta.
For now, we're using the customer-facing cart system, but it would be really nice to utilize the backend for placing orders like you should be able to.

Actually, WooCommerce does not calculate shipping quotes in backend by design. Many users suggested that feature, but unfortunately no ETA yet. See https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/17238
If you need this now, you have to buy a commercial plug-in, as there are many offering exactly such feature. You should search a WooCommerce plug-in for "manual orders" or "phone orders".

WordPress WooCommerce can't checkout after I use php function to hide shipping options

My website is using WooCommerce (Version 6.0.1) without shipping extensions as all physical products will be picked up locally or shipped within only one region, but now I want to add an e-ticket product, no shipping required, using this event ticket plugin (Version 1.1.1; Pro Version Version 1.0.7).
I created a product category named Events for the tickets and hid all shipping options for this category using this method
I have found here, and although it's working perfectly in hiding the shipping options, when I checkout I can't proceed and instead will get the following message:
No shipping method has been selected. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help
I'm currently setting local pickup as the only shipping option for tickets by using the aforementioned code then setting the shipping id to display:none in Additional CSS, but that isn't really what I want, especially since it will also hide the shipping options for physical products.
I have read through lots of posts here but they either only hide some of the shipping options or they just suggest the use of extensions. It'd be great if I don't have to buy a WooCommerce extension to manage shipping per product. Is there's anyway to add/eddit another function in functions.php or WooCommerce plugin file to do that? Or some way to use that line of CSS conditionally? As far as I know, CCS doesn't have if statements, and I am not sure how I can do that in php. Any help on how to disable shipping for a particular product/category so that no shipping option needs to be be selected or on how to hide shipping method on Cart and Checkout page for a particular product/category should be much appreciated, thank you.

USPS/WooCommerce not packaging items together

I have a WordPress site which uses WooCommerce. The USPS shipping plugin is installed, however the two shipping options that I have enabled (first class package service and priority mail) are selected through WooCommerce (USPS WooCommerce Services).
The issue is that when I add two or more items to my cart the shipping charges double. That is, each item is being treated as it's own package. I have selected the "pack items together option" in WooCommerce, have added a package type, and have specified dimensions for the product.
Any ideas as to what I might need to change/specify o get things working properly? Also, I want to limit the amount packed together to five.
if you are using the USPS Shipping Plugin from xAdapter, then what is going on is that you're using the free version of it, the free version only lets you add 2 items in a box, if you want to add more in one box, basically they force you to buy it. In my opinion the best solution in this case if you want to save a few bucks is to use "Woocommerce Services" along side with "Jetpack".

Creating Custom Shipping Method In Magento, Weight vs Destination and Zones?

am just switching from my e-commerce shopping basket website to a Magento implementation.
Currently we have different Shipping Zones for different countries, and the weight of the final shopping basket determines the Shipping Price for the selected country. We therefore just have one shipping method, i.e. "Standard Shipping".
What I would like to do is use the Country Code to carry out a lookup and locate the Postal Zone and use that Postal Zone to lookup/calculate the Shipping Price of the basket based on it's weight.
Have seen a few examples of Flat Rates, but not too sure if they are applicable?
I don't have the finances to buy an extension as yet.
Thank you for any help or advice,
Barton.
This extension does exactly what you need and its free.
Matrixrate
All you have to do is export the CSV file and map all your shipping methods accordingly to the location, weight and price. It also allows you to create custom free deliveries over an amount.

Woocommerce : buy 1 get another "coming soon" products

We are working on a store and we would like to have this feature that allows customer to buy one available downloadable product and also get another downloadable products once they are available in the store.
The concept of this is like magazine subscription which subscribers will get new issue every month.
I have had a look at Woocommerce Subscriptions plugin but it is too expensive for us. We did purchase Subscriptio plugin from Codecanyon and also we purchased Woocommerce Chained products and Woocommerce Pre-orders plugin to get them work together but they didn't do the job as when we chained available product with pre-order product, the store doesn't allow the customer to proceed to download the available one.
Is there any other plugin that you recommend?
I will be appreciated.
Thank you.

How to export products from Magento to Woocommerce?

I need to move my 100s of products from Magento ver. 1.7.0.2 to WooCommerce 2.1.11.
Is there any way to do this?
I have searched a lot but found nothing on this.
Cart2Cart solutions is the best, though it might cost you a little.
Migrations of following is possible from magento to WooCommerce
Products, product images, product extra fields, product attributes, product variants
Categories, category images
Customers, customer shipping address, customer billing address
Orders, order statuses
Not a fan of this plugin but you can use this plugin for fulfilling your purpose too.
litextension plugin might help you. The reason why i gave plugin as a reference to you is of its prompt Live support which resolved all my queries before even purchasing the plugin.
For you to compare they have also given a comparison link with cart2cart which you need to crosscheck.
