Is there a way to have shipping prices variations according to the group a customer is in? I want to give certain customer groups lower shipping rates.
Probably the best way would be to create multiple shipping options (such as "Flat rate Standard", "Flat rate VIP"), and then go to B2BKing -> Groups and for each group only enable 1 of the options.
So for example that way group A would have only flat standard (more expensive), whereas group B would have flat VIP (cheaper).
Yes that works, but Woocommerce is silly. I can't define costs when somebody makes an order that will require multiple packages. Most of our orders will be multiple packages and with a flat fee woocommerce charges only 1 time shipping costs while it should charge the flat fee cost for each package. Have been looking around at other plugins to fix this but haven't found anything that can handle this in combination with groups in B2BKing. Am a bit stuck at the moment.
I got it working fine with the other plugin, really stable plugin, recommended! Thanks for the suggestion, good backup if the other plugin gives any problems in the future.

Hi Jurgen,

Would that work in your setup?

I think I found a good solution with this plugin which is free too for what I need to do:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/weight-based-shipping-for-woocommerce/
First impressions is that it works well, I'm going to test this some more.
Yes, I think the solution would be finding a plugin that can calculate the correct costs (and calculate the number of packages).
If you're not able to get it to work with the plugin you mentioned, maybe also take a look at this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-shipping/
I got it working fine with the other plugin, really stable plugin, recommended! Thanks for the suggestion, good backup if the other plugin gives any problems in the future.
I'd suggest first of all checking to see if your hosting company has a staging site feature.
Is the site hosted on combell.com? Perhaps this guide here can work: https://www.combell.com/en/help/kb/managed-wordpress-test-environment/
The plugin you mentioned will also work fine, we've worked with it in the past.
