    Hi Team

    I have read in a previous thread that you are intending to add the ability for vendors to add an additional shipping type other than National flat rate and International flat rate e.g. National express rate. Can you confirm if this is still going ahead or even, is there any code that could take care of this in the meantime? i.e. to add a third shipping method in the vendor add product page that is 100% customisable in terms of name/label and price?

    In the alternative, would it be possible to provide any code that could change the existing “international shipping” method to “express shipping” on the basis that I am not allowing for international shipping on my site in the first place?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Team

    Just wondering if you had a chance to look at the above?

    FYI, I am running Pro.

    Thanks.

    Hello=
    The upcoming shipping options do not have an EXPRESS rate choice, no.
    Altering International shipping in this fashion would not work.. no. The way that entire shipping option is coded would make that unreasonable and I do not thnk it would even work.. it is based upon the buyer location therefore defines the buyer as “international”.

    A method I have used in my marketplace, is to have the vendors add a product (virtual product, no shipping rate) titled “Express Processing & Shipment”.. or something to that effect. The customer can then “purchase” the express shipping virtual product if they wish to have this shipping upgrade/option.

    Hi Anna

    Thanks for your reply.

    Would you consider adding a third box in the vendor’s shipping dashboard that would allow them to specify another method of shipping and for them to name it whatever they want?

    Alternatively could you not have a “+” sign that could allow them to add as many additional delivery methods as they would like?

    Thanks

    Hi Anna

    Perhaps the code in the KB to disable international shipping could be modified to alter the label to Express National Shipping?

    Can you further this please?

    Changing the label is not going to alter what the shipping method does- how it is calculated.
    It would still calculate for an international customer only.
    I understand that you are trying to find a way to work with it and thinking outside the box- that I appreciate. 😉
    However, shipping with WC Vendors is actually complicated and we have to code shipping based on a per product basis rather than a cart basis, as woocommerce does.
    So– it makes just adding in a shipping method quite extensive.

    Here’s an idea.. bear with me.
    We have a kb article which shows how to integrate a gift wrapping plugin with our WC Vendors Pro front-end forms.
    Now, if you altered that plugin to instead be an express shipping option instead of gift wrapping- that might work for what you are trying to achieve. it would then allow the vendor to choose to offer express shipping, and the customer could check the box and add the fee for the express shipping. You’d have to download the gift wrapping plugin and then alter the code for the gift wrapping to = express shipping.
    Kind of a weird solution- but you may want to try and see if it would work.
