Title: [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] You must select a shipping method, Error Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] You must select a shipping method, Error * [vasilissk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vasilissk/) * (@vasilissk) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/) * Error. You must select a shipping method, otherwise we cannot process your order. * I am testing the shipping method as: ————————————– Flat Rate Settings Local Shipping Fee 0.00 International Shipping Fee 0.00 * Disregard Shipping for this product ————————————— Use Shipping: Yes * Shipping modules none ————————————— I have setup the test item price $1.00.Second description: free S/H. I filed up all personal information and pressed the “Make purchase” There is no any shipping method activated. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-e-commerce/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-e-commerce/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [macropiper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macropiper/) * (@macropiper) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/#post-1319320) * Are the details for flat rate shipping on the Shipping page set to 0, or are they blank? * If they are blank, you need to set them to zero, having them blank means that the store cannot ship to that area. * Thread Starter [vasilissk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vasilissk/) * (@vasilissk) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/#post-1319328) * I am trying to create a mixed mode items with Free S/H and flat S/H without shipping modules because it makes calculation mistakes. It looks like this plug-in cannot support mixed mode items. It is either Flat or Free S/H, and not both modes at the same time. Unfortunately shipping modules takes over any S/H price in which I set for each item. For example item A has $1.00 S/H, and the shipping module is $0.00. At the checkout the S/H changes from $1.00 to zero. In the invoice shows zero postage. The only way to keep the S/H steady for each item separately is to uncheck the Shipping Modules. I guess that’s why it shows this error. In my opinion it shouldn’t show the error when the payment method is by PayPal. * [nod0ubt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nod0ubt/) * (@nod0ubt) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/#post-1319340) * the error for shipping method only happens if you’re using WP 2.7.1 (i’ve tested it, its working on 2.8.6 and 2.9 respectively). * [wordpress4you](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpress4you/) * (@wordpress4you) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/#post-1319365) * nope. same in 2.9 * [evancourtney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evancourtney/) * (@evancourtney) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/#post-1319400) * Having the same problem.

I followed your tips (turning the four lines into “comments”) and solved the problem of getting the message “You must select a shipping method, otherwise we cannot process your order”. Thank you very much. However, the new script does not charge my buyers any shipping cost which I have attach to the products individually. Can anybody help me with this. * [sparkwoodand21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sparkwoodand21/) * (@sparkwoodand21) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-e-commerce-you-must-select-a-shipping-method-error/#post-1319461) - Go to Products > Settings > Shipping. - Tick Flat Rate. - Click on the Edit that goes with the flat rate.
