Detail Description
General
Shipping Class By Category For WooCommerce allows you to assign shipping classes to products based on their category in just a few clicks. Instead of manually editing each product or facing the limitations of bulk editing (which often fails with large product counts), this plugin lets you assign shipping classes efficiently, even for stores with thousands of products.
Key Features:

Subcategory Support: Optionally include subcategory products when bulk assigning to a parent category, with a confirmation prompt listing affected subcategories
Parent Class Inheritance: Optionally inherit shipping class from a parent category when a new product’s direct category has none assigned
Bulk Category Assignment: Assign shipping classes to all products within a selected category
AJAX Batch Processing: Handles large product catalogs without server timeouts
Automatic Assignment: New products automatically get shipping classes based on their category
Custom Product Column: Optional shipping class column in the WooCommerce products table
Progress Tracking: Real-time progress bar during bulk operations
Error Handling: Robust error handling with retry mechanisms
Security: Proper nonce verification and capability checks

Security Features

Nonce Verification: All AJAX requests are protected with WordPress nonces
Capability Checks: Only users with manage_woocommerce capability can perform operations
Input Validation: All user inputs are properly sanitized and validated
SQL Injection Protection: Uses WordPress’s $wpdb->prepare() for all database queries

Performance Optimizations

Batch Processing: Processes products in configurable batches (default: 25 products)
Memory Management: Sets appropriate memory limits for large operations
Efficient Queries: Uses optimized database queries to minimize server load
Cache Management: Properly clears object cache after operations
Retry Logic: Implements exponential backoff for failed requests

Why Use This Plugin?
WooCommerce’s built-in bulk editing feature is limited to 999 products and may cause server crashes on low-memory setups. Shipping Class By Category For WooCommerce solves this issue by using batch processing through AJAX, ensuring smooth operation even for large stores. This plugin automates the assignment process, allowing you to apply shipping classes to entire categories, saving hours of manual work.
