WordPress - Web Dev - Utilities

WooCommerce has made selling on WordPress super easy. You can add a product and sell it in just a few minutes. As a common matter of stores, we have sale events. So, how do you set the sale price for your products? Let’s find out.

The quickest way to set sale price for your product (or to change the sale price if you have already set it) is to go to Products->All products on your dashboard menu. There, you can see the list of all your products. Now, hover your cursor over the product you want to edit the sale price:

Now, click on Quick Edit. You will see the quick edit screen appears:

As you can see, there is a box for your to enter the sale price. If you set a sale price, make sure you also set the regular price and the regular price must be greater than the sale price (it’s obvious, isn’t it).

Finally, click on the update button and you are done. Your customers now will see that your product has a sale offer. Hopefully, your sales will skyrocket soon!

WooCommerce comes with a few shipping methods and with plugins, you can add more. So, you can have literally unlimited shipping options.

Now, one zone can have multiple shipping method. For example, my customers in Asia will see this when they checkout:

Pretty confusing, right? Now, I would like to remove the Free shipping option, here is what I’ll do:

Click on the shipping zone I want to modify its shipping methods, in my case, I will click on Asia.

As you can see, all the options are listed in the next screen. To disable any shipping method, simply click on the toggle button to turn it off. Here, I’m going to turn off free shipping. Don’t forget to click on Save changes.

If I go and check the checkout page now, the Free shipping method is no longer available:
