How to Set Up Shipping Plugin – Vendor only uses local pick up
Table of Contents
If you are using WCFM or Dokan multi vendor marketplace plugin for WooCommerce with our WooCommerce shipping plugins—such as Shippo Shipping Pro, ShipStation Shipping Pro, or EasyPost Shipping Pro, you may have vendors with different shipping preferences. While some vendors use live shipping rates, some may prefer to offer only local pickup for their customers.
In this case, please follow the instruction below:
Configure Live Shipping Rates #
You need to configure whether to use the admin’s account (sitewide settings) or the vendor’s carrier account for displaying live shipping rates and purchasing shipping labels.
- Using Sitewide Settings (Admin’s Carrier Account)
If you prefer to let vendors use their own carrier accounts to display shipping rate and purchase shipping labels, refer to the documentation linked below.

Key Difference in WCFM Settings #
For vendors who only offer local pickup and do not need to use live shipping rates, they must uncheck the “Live Shipping Rates” option in their WCFM plugin settings. This ensures that no live shipping rates will be displayed for their products.
Key Difference in Dokan Settings #
For vendors who only offer local pickup and do not need to use live shipping rates, they must uncheck the “Live Shipping Rates” option in their Dokan plugin settings. This ensures that no live shipping rates will be displayed for their products.
