What it does
Flat shipping rates rarely match what a carrier actually charges, so stores either overcharge customers or absorb the difference. This plugin connects your WooCommerce store to Canada Post and requests live rates for each order. The rate a shopper sees is based on where the parcel is going and on the weight and dimensions of the products in the cart. It covers both domestic and international destinations, so you can quote Canada Post prices for shoppers in Canada and abroad.
Beyond the rate lookup, the plugin helps with the details that cause shipping problems. Address validation checks and corrects customer addresses during checkout. A box packing algorithm works out which box sizes fit each shipment, which feeds more realistic dimensions into the rate request. You can add a markup or a discount to the returned rates, choose which Canada Post services to offer, and manage everything from a settings dashboard inside WooCommerce. It supports the Canada Post REST API as well as the older API.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that ship orders with Canada Post
- Canadian shops selling to domestic and international customers
- Stores with products of varied sizes and weights
