What it does
Flat shipping rates rarely match what a carrier actually charges, so store owners end up absorbing extra costs or overcharging customers. This plugin solves that by pulling real-time quotes from Canada Post for each order. Customers see current prices for the services you choose to offer, from Regular Parcel and Expedited Parcel to Xpresspost and Priority Worldwide. It works inside the native WooCommerce cart and checkout, so shoppers pick a delivery option the same way they would with any other shipping method.
The plugin is built for stores that use the Canadian Dollar as their currency, and it requires WooCommerce. It works with centimeters and kilograms and converts other measurement units automatically, so your product dimensions and weights still produce accurate quotes. You can pack items individually or let the built-in box packer group them into parcels. Services can be switched on or off, renamed and given extra costs. It also supports WooCommerce high-performance order storage, and your server needs SimpleXML and cURL for the API connection.
Best for
- Canadian WooCommerce stores pricing in Canadian Dollars
- Shops shipping parcels across Canada, the US and abroad
- Agencies building WooCommerce stores for Canadian clients

Questions about Canada Post Shipping
Can I use this if my store charges in US Dollars?
No. The plugin is built for stores that use the Canadian Dollar as their currency. If your WooCommerce store is set to another currency, this shipping method is designed not to be used there, so it fits Canadian retailers pricing in CAD.
Does it handle international shipping or only Canada?
It covers both. You can get live Canada Post rates for parcels sent within Canada, to the United States and to international destinations, with services such as Xpresspost and Priority Worldwide available alongside domestic options like Regular Parcel.
Can I choose which Canada Post services customers see?
Yes. You can enable or disable each service, rename it so the label at checkout makes sense to your customers, and add an extra cost on top of the quoted rate for any option you offer.
What does my server need for this to work?
Your hosting must support SimpleXML and cURL, which the plugin uses to exchange data with the Canada Post API. You also need WooCommerce active on the site, since this is a WooCommerce shipping method.
