VM Shipping by State / Advanced Rules

VirtueMart Shipping by State Plugin - Advanced Shipping Rules Made Simple

The VirtueMart Shipping by State plugin allows you to define regions (states/prefectures), a list of ZIP codes, and multiple shipping price sets (by weight, quantity, or order value) — all within a single shipping method.

✅ Key Features:

• Country & State Filtering

• ZIP Code List Filter with Include/Exclude support (for subregions)

• Multiple price ranges in one method
  (e.g. 0–2 KG/Items/Price: €3, 2.01–3 KG: €4.5, 3.01–4 KG: €6)

• Progressive pricing per unit after a limit
  (e.g. after 4 KG, charge €2 per KG)

• Simple to use with flexible configuration

• Includes default VirtueMart filters (categories, products, prices, ZIP ranges)

✅ Shipping Cost Calculation Options:

• By weight

• By item quantity

• By order total value

Compatibility:

Version 3.7.x (Development discontinued)

• Joomla 2.5.x / 3.x

• VirtueMart 2.5.x / 3.x

Version 4.x

• Joomla 3.9.x – 4.x – 5.x

• VirtueMart 3.x / 4.x

Examples:

Example 1 – Tiered Pricing by Weight
Want different shipping costs per 2 KG from 0 to 100 KG?
With VirtueMart’s default plugin: you'd need 50 shipping methods.
With Shipping by State: just one method — define unlimited weight/price sets inside it.

Example 2 – ZIP Code Restriction
Need to allow a shipping method only for specific ZIP codes?
VirtueMart’s default plugin supports only ZIP ranges (rarely usable).
Shipping by State: simply paste unlimited ZIP codes, one per line — perfect for copy-pasting from Excel or CSV.
