Ordlo Shipping: Getting Started

Part of Ordlo Shipping Documentation

Requirements

Installing and Adding to a Zone

1. Download the ordlo-shipping zip from checkout.ordlo.io.
2. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload, and activate.
3. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping, open the zone you want, click Add Shipping Method, and select Ordlo Shipping.
4. Click the method name to open settings and run the setup wizard (sets your weight unit and creates two starter rules).

Building Your Rate Table

1. Add rate rules from most specific to most general — Ordlo Shipping evaluates top to bottom.
2. If you use shipping classes, set class priorities to control which rules win for mixed carts.
3. Use the live rate simulator at Ordlo > Shipping to test before going live.
4. Run the gap checker to confirm no weight ranges or shipping classes have no matching rule.
5. Export a JSON backup once your setup is complete.

Testing

• Add products of different weights to a cart and confirm the rate and label at checkout are correct.
• Test the abort rule path — the method should disappear.
• Enable debug mode and confirm the evaluation trace shows the right rule.
• Run the gap checker and confirm no gaps.
