There are tons of WordPress themes suitable for WooCommerce. Most of them can be easily made to work with WooCommerce. However, in some cases, the chances of a theme working flawlessly with WooCommerce become quite slim.

Now, let’s check how well it displays the cart and checkout page, where WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping Pro shipping rates will be displayed.

Shipping Rates on the Cart Page

Talking about compatibility, one of the areas where WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping Pro’s shipping rules reflect is the cart page. Based on the factors that the store owners select, the plugin calculates the shipping rates, and these rates are shown on the cart page. Themes that are compatible with WooCommerce often create some difficulties on the cart page, as the shipping rates are dynamic and can change on several factors.
However, Kalium Theme displays the cart page accurately without any issues. Most of the themes have issues with the text alignment in place of shipping rates, cart sub-total, and the total amount. Yet, the image below shows how perfectly the theme displays the shipping rates, cart sub-total as well as total amount.

Shipping Rates on the Checkout Page

Since everything works fine on the cart page, now let’s check for the checkout page. Once the buyer selects the shipping methods on the cart page, it is mandatory to enter the shipping address on the checkout page. And based on the address provided there, the shipping rates can update if the address changes.
Kalium Theme performs great on the checkout page too. The shipping rates are shown clearly and the shipping address field is also clearly visible. There are no alignment issues that are very common while working with any other theme. The image below shows the checkout page with the Kalium Theme.
