Introduction to WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping
WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping (WTCRS) is a powerful plugin that allows you to create custom shipping rates for your WooCommerce online store. Unlike traditional plugins that rely on zip codes or shipping zones, WTCRS uses a more advanced and flexible system of tables to determine shipping costs. With WTCRS, you can create shipping rates based on a combination of factors such as package weight, dimensions, distance, and more.
