WooCommerce Shipping Discounts based on Cart Subtotal

What does this plugin do?

The Shipping Discount based on the Cart Subtotal Add-on plugin will allow you to set up dedicated rules to provide a shipping discount. The plugin will provide a percentage discount on the shipping rates calculated by the WooCommerce Table Rate Shipping Pro plugin, based on the cart subtotal.

Pre-Requisites

In order to make use of this add-on, you would require the following,

Business Case

I want to provide a certain discount on the shipping method. But only discount on the shipping charge, not cart subtotal.

For example: If a customer purchases 3 products,

Item A = $10
Item B = $20
Item C = $10

Cart Subtotal = $40

Shipping Charge = $10

Cart Total = $50

The system should be able to calculate the discount in such a way that if a customer has purchased $30 or over, he should be entitled to a 30% discount on shipping rates.

Shipping Charge = $10 – (30% of $10)

New Cart Subtotal = $40 + $7 = $47

The system should be able to calculate the shipping discount similarly for, let’s say if the customer purchases $50 worth of goods and so on.
