You require your shipping to work automatically, but setting it up manually takes too much of your valuable time.
You’re not a programmer. And even if you know how to code, you would still prefer to install a plugin and configure shipping services in a few minutes.
Does it sound like you?
If so, we have great news! International carriers offer shipping services that you can integrate into your store using their API.
In this article, you will find a step-by-step instruction on how to integrate several carriers with your WooCommerce store: UPS, DPD UK, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Royal Mail, and Canada Post.
Imagine that you configure a few shipping methods, and then it works automatically.
Here is what I mean:
So, the only thing you have to do is check what packages you need to prepare for shipping and what has to be included.
Would you like your shop to work this way?
Well, good news! You don’t need to be a programmer or to hire one. There are plugins on the market that will help you integrate shipping services into your store.
Next, I will show you two shipping services integrations: UPS, DPD UK/DPD Local, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Royal Mail, and Canada Post.
The UPS Live Rates and Access Points PRO plugin for WooCommerce works like magic!
First and foremost, it shows your customers the real shipping rates. They are live, which means that the plugin dynamically synchronizes with the UPS API server to always provide accurate shipping rates.
Thanks to this integration, your customers won’t face unexpected fees or unpleasant discrepancies in delivery pricing. Their loyalty towards your store will grow, and the number of abandoned carts will drop. A win-win situation.
What’s more, it works worldwide. You don’t have to limit your shipping just to your country. Sell abroad and earn more.
Finally, as the name suggests, the UPS Live Rates and Access Points PRO plugin for WooCommerce also allows your customers to have their orders delivered to Access Points. UPS has over 24,000 of them worldwide.
People love Access Points because they can collect parcels on the way from work to home, or vice versa.
What’s more, over 8,000 stores use WooCommerce UPS Shipping daily.

Yet another easy-to-integrate shipping service is the DPD UK.

However, due to the plugin’s usability, you can start offering the DPD UK shipping method to your customers in just minutes. The configuration is quite easy, and if you get stuck, you can use the docs.
In general, this plugin:
You can choose from a variety of domestic and international shipping services:
All of them are located under a simple select list (Service):

The FedEx Live Rates PRO for WooCommerce plugin provides a seamless integration with FedEx. Thanks to the connection through the API, your customers can access live rates for the carrier’s services, ensuring neither they nor you overpay for shipping.

Lastly, the FedEx Live Rates PRO plugin shows your customers the estimated delivery time at checkout. It helps avoid confusion and leaves them well-informed, leading to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty.

You can pick from a variety of USPS services, such as Priority Mail or First Class Mail, and easily manage which of them are shown to your customers.
The plugin also allows you to decide how to pack your products, ensuring top safety and ergonomics. The advanced box packing algorithm lets you define your own custom boxes, and automatically optimizes the packing setup based on the products’ volume and weight.
In other words, the USPS Live Rates plugin for WooCommerce allows you to avoid any confusion when it comes to shipping and packing prices. Your customers are happy because there are no hidden fees, and your business doesn’t lose money due to inaccurate pricing.

If your business delivers within the UK, you simply can’t fail to offer Royal Mail shipping services. You can integrate your WooCommerce store with the carrier directly thanks to the Royal Mail Live Rates PRO plugin for WooCommerce.
What does the plugin do for you?
In summary, your customers always know how much they need to pay with no surprises, and you never have to risk extra charges for incorrectly estimated rates or poorly chosen packaging.
If your store operates within Canada, then Canada Post shipping is an absolute must-have. The Canada Post Live Rates plugin can help you with that in your WooCommerce store.
How?
First, by showing live rates directly from the carrier via API. It helps both your business and your clients avoid overpaying for shipping due to discrepancies or inaccurate information.
Another safety net saving both you and your clients money is the automatically optimized packing setup. The plugin matches appropriate packaging on its own, based on the size and weight of each product, reducing the risk of suffering additional costs.
