Chile Shipping

Chile Shipping helps Chilean stores using WooCommerce configure manual shipping rates by commune and by courier.

The plugin adds Chilean regions to WooCommerce, improves the region and commune labels in checkout, and provides a WooCommerce shipping method that calculates shipping based on the customer’s commune.

Main features:

• Chilean regions and communes catalog.
• Manual shipping rates by commune.
• Chilexpress, Starken and Bluexpress as configurable courier options.
• Custom couriers for local delivery or other shipping providers.
• Manual shipping rates by courier and commune.
• Separate checkout rates for each courier with a configured price.
• Optional global free shipping threshold.
• Optional free shipping threshold by courier.
• Checkout labels for Región and Comuna.

This plugin works locally and does not send site data to external servers.

A separate commercial plugin, Chile Shipping PRO, is available from CraftArt. That commercial plugin is distributed outside WordPress.org and is not included in this package.

1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/chile-shipping-for-woocommerce directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
3. Go to WooCommerce > Chile Shipping and configure commune rates, courier rates, or both.
4. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping zones and add the Chile Shipping method to the desired zone.
