You can offer flat-rate shipping, charge based on weight or dimensions, or calculate real-time rates based on the delivery address. It’s also common to offer free shipping as a promotional offer or integrate shipping costs into product prices to absorb the charges.

To keep WooCommerce emails out of spam, send mail through authenticated domains. Set up SPF and DKIM records, and add DMARC with a monitoring policy. Use a dedicated SMTP provider (SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, etc.) instead of PHP mail, and verify your “From” address matches the domain. Avoid spammy subject lines, excessive caps, and too many links. Include your business address and unsubscribe/notification preferences where appropriate. Keep templates clean, mostly text with one logo image, and test with mail-tester. Warm up new domains/IPs gradually, and monitor bounces and complaints. Also ensure your server has rDNS, TLS, and consistent sending volume.

WooPayments isn’t the same as Stripe, but it is powered by Stripe. WooPayments is a WooCommerce payment solution built by Automattic that uses Stripe’s infrastructure for card processing, payouts, and fraud tools. You manage everything inside your WordPress dashboard (payments, disputes, refunds, deposits), while Stripe runs the behind-the-scenes processing. The separate “Stripe for WooCommerce” plugin connects your store directly to a Stripe account and gives you more Stripe-specific controls. WooPayments can be simpler for WooCommerce users, but availability, features, and linking an existing Stripe account can vary by country. Fees are usually similar, and both support Apple Pay and subscriptions.
