Advanced Shipping Rules is another app by Bambri that allows you to set different shipping rates for different groups of products. You can use this app in conjunction with Customer Shipping Rules to expand the possibilities of how you charge shipping to your customers.
Let’s say you offer your retail customers free shipping or a simplified flat rate, but you want to use Customer Shipping Rules to charge more accurate shipping for wholesale customers. You can use Advanced Shipping Rules to configure more complex accurate rates for a variety of different product groups.
