Product chooses the current product, a selected variable product or one fixed variation, and what to show before a choice. Wording sets the texts for options that ship and options that do not, a prefix and an optional icon. The Style tab covers typography, a colour for each answer (also used for the icon), background, border, radius, spacing, alignment and the icon.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use variation shipping required note
Shoppers comparing a physical and a digital version want to know whether they will pay for shipping. WooCommerce decides per variation whether shipping is needed, but the product page does not say. Variation shipping required note answers that for the option the shopper picks, before they reach checkout.
Tickets and bookings
Say that e-tickets need no delivery while posted tickets do.
Gift cards
Show that the email card has no shipping cost.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Variation shipping required note compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor and WooCommerce; works with variable products.
- Says whether shipping applies; it does not calculate costs.
- Follows the choice only on pages that show the product's options form.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot variation shipping required note
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does a digital option say it ships?
Virtual is not ticked on that variation, so WooCommerce treats it as a physical item.
Why does nothing show for one option?
The text for that answer is empty. Write one, or leave it empty on purpose.
Why does nothing show before a choice?
Only some options ship, so the widget waits for the shopper to choose.
Why does it not change when I pick an option?
The product's options form must be on the same page, for example its own product page or a product shortcode.
Variation shipping required note plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor and WooCommerce.
Does it show shipping costs?
No. Costs depend on the address; the widget says only whether shipping applies.
Does it change shipping settings?
No. It reads WooCommerce's decision for each option.
Is colour the only signal?
No. The words always give the answer; colour is extra.
Does it need JavaScript?
Only to follow the shopper's choice; without it the starting value is shown.
