Woocommerce Gift cards and shipping setup

[francdore]

Hi there.

I'm busy building a Woocommerce site. It's up already but I just need to setup the shipping. Does anyone have any recent experience setting up shipping zones for South Africa for post office, courier and also which is the best way to set up gift cards? Any nice free plugins maybe?

Thank you in advance.

Why did you decide to go with the post office shipping? Where are you based?

Hi, I just thought I would give people the post office option. I think I'm going to set-up MDS Colivery using their Woocommerce plugin. I'm based in Boksburg.

Why did you decide to go with the post office shipping? Where are you based?

Hey francdore

With regards to a gift certificates plugin for WooCommerce, we've had success in the past with IgniteWoo's Gift Certificates Pro. Unfortunately it's not free (costs $85), but based on our research, it was the best of a bad bunch of options. Gift certificates is definitely one area that the WooCommerce team needs to address a bit better.

Regarding setting up shipping rates, this can all be setup in your WP Dashboard via WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping
If you really want total control over your shipping rates/conditions, WooCommerce Advanced Shipping is a great plugin.
