Job Overview: We are a shed manufacturing company looking for an expert WooCommerce developer to solve a specific shipping configuration challenge. We have a WordPress/Elementor site and are currently using the Octolize Flexible Shipping Bundle (including Distance Based Shipping, Locations, and Multi-Vendor add-ons). We also use a third-party configurator (Staggs), which adds in additional attributes to products outside of the base WooCommerce product details.
We are unable to get the logic to work correctly for our specific business rules and need someone to either configure our current stack correctly or implement a custom solution (PHP or JS snippet) to achieve the desired result.
The Tech Stack:
WordPress + Elementor + WooCommerce
Shipping: Octolize Flexible Shipping Bundle
Tax: Avalara
CRM: HubSpot (MakeWebBetter)
Customization: Staggs Product Configurator
The Challenge: We have two product types: Sheds (Self-Shipped Freight) and Accessories (Parcel). We have two distribution centers: Porum, OK and Lancaster, PA.
We need the shipping calculator to perform the following logic:
For Sheds:
Determine which distribution center is closest to the customer.
Rule A: If the customer is within a 150-mile radius of the closest center, shipping is FREE.
Rule B: If the customer is outside the 150-mile radius, charge $8.80 per mile (calculated from the radius edge or total distance, TBD).
For Accessories:
Shipping is FREE anywhere in the contiguous United States.
Cart Logic:
If a customer buys both, the logic must handle the combination gracefully (likely defaulting to the Shed shipping rules for the shed portion).
Audit our current Octolize plugin settings.
Configure the "Locations" add-on to correctly identify the nearest origin point (OK or PA). While being able to add more locations in the future.
Set up Shipping Classes to distinguish between Sheds and Accessories.
Implement the conditional logic: Free greater than 150 miles, $8.80/mile less than 150 miles.
Test thoroughly to ensure tax (Avalara) and HubSpot data are passed correctly.
Optional: If the current plugins cannot achieve this, recommend and implement a better solution (e.g., a different plugin or custom PHP development).
Requirements:
Expert-level knowledge of WooCommerce Shipping Zones & Classes.
Specific experience with Octolize / Flexible Shipping plugins.
Strong PHP skills (in case a custom filter/hook is required for the radius logic).
Experience with Multi-Origin/Multi-Warehouse shipping setups.
