Custom Shipping Methods For Woocommerce [fee] Shortcode

The Custom Shipping Methods for WooCommerce plugin shortcode ‘fee’ calculates shipping fees based on pre-set parameters. It calculates the fee as a percentage of the total cost. The shortcode allows setting a minimum and maximum fee limit. If the calculated fee is less than the minimum or exceeds the maximum, the shortcode adjusts it accordingly.

Shortcode: [fee]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible fee shortcode parameters and attributes:

• percent – The percentage of the fee cost to be calculated.
• min_fee – The minimum limit for the calculated fee.
• max_fee – The maximum limit for the calculated fee.

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A simple usage of the ‘fee’ shortcode to calculate a fee based on a percentage of the cost.

[fee percent=10 /]

The above example calculates a fee that is 10% of the cost. If the cost is $100, the calculated fee would be $10.

Advanced examples

Utilizing the ‘fee’ shortcode to calculate a fee based on a percentage of the cost, with a minimum and maximum fee limit.

[fee percent=10 min_fee=5 max_fee=50 /]

In this advanced example, the fee is calculated as 10% of the cost, but it also includes a minimum and maximum limit. If the calculated fee is less than $5, the fee will be set to $5. If the calculated fee is more than $50, the fee will be set to $50. This ensures the fee stays within a specified range regardless of the cost.

Another advanced usage of the ‘fee’ shortcode where only a minimum fee limit is set, without a percentage or maximum fee limit.

[fee min_fee=5 /]

This example sets a minimum fee of $5. This means regardless of the cost, the fee will never be less than $5. As there is no percentage or maximum fee set, the fee will be $5 regardless of the cost.

			}
