To get started, you'll need to have Tree Table Rate Shipping installed. If you're using the Live Femo, you can skip the installation steps for now, as the plugin is already set up there.
To install the plugin on your WordPress site, follow these steps:
- Start by downloading the plugin zip with the download link you received in a purchase confirmation email. If you are using Safari, right-click the download link and choose "Download Linked File" to prevent it from being automatically extracted.
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- In the WordPress dashboard, navigate to "Plugins" on the left-hand menu and click "Add New Plugin".
- On the "Add Plugins" page, click the "Upload Plugin" button at the top.
- Click the "Choose File" button and select the plugin zip file you downloaded in Step 1.
- Once you've selected the file, click the "Install Now" button.
- WordPress will now upload and extract the plugin files from the zip file. After the installation is complete, you will see a success message.
- Finally, click the "Activate" button to activate the newly installed plugin.
If you have other shipping methods enabled, it's best to deactivate them for now to avoid confusion during testing — this way, you'll know exactly which shipping options come from Tree Table Rate Shipping.
Now, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping zones. Click Add shipping zone,
then Add shipping method. Select Tree Table Rate from the list, and click Continue to confirm.
Finally, click Edit next to the newly added shipping method.
You should see a screen similar to the one in the screenshot below.
There's no need to make any changes yet — your shipping configuration should still be empty.
Next, visit your store page and add an item to the cart.
You should see no shipping options available because we haven't set up any shipping rules yet.
Perfect! This is our starting point.
In the next step, we'll set up a simple weight-based charge.
