About WooCommerce Advanced Shipping Packages 1.1.11
WooCommerce normally ships the whole cart as one package with one shipping choice. Advanced Shipping Packages, by Jeroen Sormani, lets you split the cart into several packages using conditions such as shipping class, category or product. Each package gets its own shipping rates at checkout, so bulky items can ship by freight while small items go by post.
The file on record is version 1.1.11, dated August 2022, and it is a small plugin of around 96 KB. Test it on a staging copy with your current WooCommerce version and shipping methods, and check the checkout page carefully, before using it on a live store.
Requirements
- WooCommerce
Key features
- Split the cart into packages
- Move matching items into their own shipping package based on rules you set.
- Condition-based rules
- Build package rules from conditions such as shipping class, category or product.
- Separate rates per package
- Each package is quoted on its own, so different items can use different methods.
- Named packages
- Give each package a name so customers understand what is shipping how.
- Limit methods per package
- Restrict which shipping methods are offered for a given package.
- Works with existing methods
- Uses the shipping zones and methods you already have in WooCommerce.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Stores that sell both bulky and small items needing different carriers
- Shops shipping some products from a different location or supplier
- Merchants who want customers to see shipping costs item group by item group
Look elsewhere if
- Stores where one shipping rate for the whole cart is enough
- Shops that only need to hide methods under conditions, without splitting the cart

- Open the shipping packages settings. Go to WooCommerce, Settings, Shipping and find the shipping packages section the plugin adds.

- Choose allowed methods. Pick which shipping methods may be offered for that package.
- Test at checkout. Add mixed products to the cart and confirm each package shows the right rates.
Common problems and fixes
Customers are charged more shipping than expected
- Why it happens
- Each package is rated separately, so per-order costs can apply once per package.
- How to fix it
- Review the costs on your shipping methods and adjust them for split carts.
Checkout shows several shipping choices and confuses buyers
- Why it happens
- Each package appears with its own selection on the cart and checkout pages.
- How to fix it
- Give packages clear names, such as Freight items and Small parcels, so buyers know what each choice covers.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
