Hi,

I updated from 3.0.0 to 3.3.5 and there is a bit of what I think is an unintended consequence.

I have shipping methods set up using several zones so I can show accurate rates and transit times.

Each zone has several UPS & USPS options.

Version 3.0.0 would allow me to assign shipping to B2B King Groups and I could simply select "flat rate" which would then, on checkout, show all options for their geographic zone. Screenshot on the right shows that.

Version 3.3.5 shows a list with dozens of shipping methods that I can assign to each group (screenshot left). Since this shows the client-side description of the shipping method and they are all described the same way (UPS Ground, UPS 1-Day Air, etc.) I can't tell which ones are supposed to match that Group and can't assign them.

For now, I rolled back to the old version.

Thank you!

Hi Bill,

I believe one thing you can do is go to WooCommerce->Settings->Shipping and rename the method titles. It could be something like UPS - 1, UPS - 2, so that you can make sense of which is which.


But I guess ideally the B2BKing interface should show which methods belong to which zones. I will see if I can make that work. I will be marking this ticket as pending and I will try to get back to you with a plugin version that also shows the zones per method - I will be getting back to you again within the next few days with an update.

Thank you for keeping this open. You guys have the best support!

I think the issue with naming it like that is that the shipping method description is what customers see when they are checking out so anything that helps me understand which zone it fits in will be confusing or additional text for customers checking out. 

Hopefully I'm explaining that right and it makes sense. 


Thanks again!
