WooCommerce UPS Shipping Method

Shipping costs are hard to guess, and flat rates often leave a store owner either overcharging or absorbing the difference. This plugin connects to the UPS API and requests rates for each order. Customers see domestic and international costs at checkout, based on the parcel and the service they pick.

It covers a range of UPS services, including Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, Ground, SurePost and Worldwide Express. You can set packaging preferences and custom boxes, and the plugin converts between pounds and kilograms for you. It suits standard parcels up to 150 lbs and does not handle freight shipping.

Features

• Real-time UPS rates: Requests rates from the UPS API for domestic and international parcels, so shipping costs shown at checkout match what UPS returns for that order.
• Many UPS services: Offers options such as Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, Ground, SurePost and Worldwide Express, giving customers a choice of delivery speed.
• Custom packaging settings: Lets you define packaging preferences and custom boxes, which helps the plugin calculate shipping for how your parcels are actually packed.
• Automatic unit conversion: Handles weights in both pounds and kilograms and converts between them, which suits stores that sell across different regions.
• International shipping coverage: Works with the UPS global network, so stores that ship abroad can show international rates alongside domestic ones.
• HPOS ready: Works with High Performance Order Storage, the WooCommerce order storage system, so it fits stores that have switched to it.
• SimpleXML support: Uses SimpleXML support to process shipping calculations built on the UPS infrastructure.
• Parcels up to 150 lbs: Designed for standard parcels up to 150 lbs. Freight shipping is not included, which keeps setup focused on regular package delivery.
