No, not the book this time. The product. Previously you picked a format, print or ebook. If you sponsored for print, Woocommerce used your address to calculate shipping. Cool. It took me a couple iterations to get that working, but it’s the way the rest of the world works.
Then I added print books via BookVault.
Turns out that Woocommerce does not like multiple shipping systems. It says it’s fine. It is not. After months of fighting with this, I realized that my attachment to sponsor shipping autocalculation was causing pain. I have restructured the product so that you choose a destination and pay accordingly.
The total price has not changed. The list price is now shipping-inclusive to avoid Woo’s clunky shipping system, that’s all. While sponsorship is an especially terrible deal for my Australian backers, it is no more terrible than before.
I’m still pushing to get the first draft of this book finished by the end of the month.
Also: attachment is the source of all pain. Well, that and blunt instruments. Those hurt, too.
