How to achive this?")* Hi, I don't know of a solution which meets all of your criteria and which doesn't involve the development of a custom shipping plugin. There are partial solutions: - If you're ok with the shipping fee of the different products to be added together, you could have just one shipping method with its "shipping price per product" setting activated. Then, in each product, you could use the "shipping prices" area to configure a shipping fee for the product. You could even have several shipping methods, and use that mechanism to only allow some shipping methods when a product is in the cart. - Having different warehouses for different types of products, and then linking the shipping methods to their warehouse, and the products to their warehouse would allow you to have one set of shipping methods for products of type A and one set for products of type B. The only downside is that when products from two types would be in the cart, the shipping fee would be the sum of the shipping fee for each type group. - If you're ok with not using standard manual shipping methods, this shipping plugin supports restriction by category: [ www.brainforge.co.uk/shop/downloads/prod...pping-extra-features](https://www.brainforge.co.uk/shop/downloads/product/56-shipping-extra-features) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvOTA5NjgxLWhvdy10by1saW5rLWluZGl2aWR1YWwtcHJvZHVjdHMtdG8tc2hpcHBpbmctbWV0aG9kP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Rusty](/forum/user/83085-rusty "View Rusty's Profile")** - [![Rusty's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/83085-rusty "View Rusty's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/83085-rusty) Less More - Posts: 105 - Thank you received: 8 - 1 year 2 months ago [\#368347](#368347) by [Rusty](/forum/user/83085-rusty "View Rusty's Profile") Replied by *[Rusty](/forum/user/83085-rusty "View Rusty's Profile")* on topic *[How to link individual products to shipping method?](/forum/28-shipping-methods/909681-how-to-link-individual-products-to-shipping-method#368347 "-- HikaShop version -- : 6.1.0 -- Joomla version -- : 5.3.3 -- PHP version -- : 8.4 As the title says ... how to link an individual product to a specific shipping method?

Btw. this would be the only feature I would use from the mentioned external plugin, so it wouldn't be very meaningful.

I've talked to the developer frequently over the years and his plugins for HikaShop have been well maintained up until now. I sure could add it as an individual job for you. But it will be more expensive than just using that other plugin.
