What it does
If your store ships with Aramex, quoting shipping by hand or with flat rates can leave customers guessing and leave you covering the difference. This plugin connects your store to your Aramex merchant account and pulls real-time rates based on order details, so shoppers see an Aramex cost at checkout before they pay. You can offer service types such as Priority Document, Priority Parcel, Deferred Parcel and Ground Parcel, which gives customers a choice between faster and slower delivery.
Setup happens in the WooCommerce dashboard, and the plugin requires WooCommerce to run. Once your Aramex account is connected, you configure the shipping options you want to offer. Pickup locations can be defined with their own opening and closing times to help with courier pickup scheduling. Custom box packing lets you enter the box sizes you use, so rates are based on realistic packages. It suits stores selling locally or to international customers through the Aramex network.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that already ship with Aramex
- Shops selling to international customers
- Stores shipping both documents and parcels

Questions about WooCommerce Aramex

The plugin supports several Aramex shipping types, including Priority Document, Priority Parcel, Deferred Parcel and Ground Parcel, along with other options. You can choose which ones to offer so customers can pick between faster and more economical delivery.

Yes. Custom box packing lets you define the box sizes you use. The plugin then packs items into those boxes, so the calculated Aramex rate is based on packages that resemble your real shipments.
