What’s new in WooCommerce UPS Shipping 3.9.18
Version 3.9.18 · Oct 8, 2026
Latest
- FixedSecurity update.
What it does
Flat shipping fees rarely match what a carrier charges, which means you either overcharge customers or absorb the difference. This plugin requires WooCommerce and pulls live rates from UPS for each order, based on the parcel and where it is going. Customers can then pick from UPS services such as Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, Ground, SurePost and Worldwide Express, with clear pricing for each option before they pay.
You control how products are packed through packaging settings and custom box definitions, which helps the quoted rate match the way parcels are actually shipped. Weight units in pounds and kilograms are converted automatically, which suits stores that sell across borders. The plugin is designed for standard parcels up to 150 lbs and does not handle freight shipping. It also works with High Performance Order Storage (HPOS) in WooCommerce.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that ship orders with UPS
- Shops selling to both domestic and international customers
- Retailers shipping standard parcels under 150 lbs
