  • Automatic live rates – Secure REST API integration
  • Parcel Packing Method
  • UPS services management
  • Rates adjustments & delivery options
  • Free Shipping
  • Multi-currency compatibility – boost your global sales
  • Seamless integration with our shipping ecosystem

Instantly retrieve live UPS shipping rates based on product weight, dimensions, and destination through a quick and hassle-free connection

Leveraging the latest REST API standard – the most secure method available, the plugin automatically calculates rates in real time once you input your UPS account details, dramatically reducing manual setup and streamlining your shipping process.


UPS Automatic live rates and REST API integration

The PRO version of the UPS plugin gives you full control over how orders are packed. Choose one of four advanced methods to calculate shipping in the most realistic and cost-effective way:

  • Pack into one box by weight: All products are combined into a single parcel based on their total weight. Best for smaller or lightweight orders where combining items makes sense.
  • Pack into custom boxes (3D bin packing): Products are placed into boxes according to their exact dimensions. The algorithm simulates real-life packing, arranging items to minimize wasted space and balance parcel weight.
  • Pack into custom boxes (volume packing): Items are packed based on their combined volume. A faster method that efficiently matches orders to the most suitable box size while reducing empty space.
  • Pack items separately: Each product is treated as its own parcel. Ideal for fragile, oversized or irregular items that require individual handling.

These methods ensure accurate UPS live rates, realistic packaging and better cost control, all aligned with your real-world shipping process.


Octolize feature: UPS custom box packing

Gain full control over which UPS services appear at checkout. Easily enable, disable, and sort services according to your UPS account settings so that your customers see only the most relevant shipping options tailored to your business requirements.

The screenshot shows only a few services. In reality, the number of available services is in accordance with the UPS account settings.

Fine-tune your shipping costs by applying rate adjustments such as:

  • Negotiated Rates: Enable this option to use your account’s discounted UPS Negotiated Rates
  • Simple Rate: Activate Simple Rate pricing to offer streamlined shipping for U.S. customers.
  • Insurance: Include shipment insurance in your shipping cost for eligible UPS services, providing additional protection as per UPS guidelines.
  • Pickup Type: Set the preferred pickup type for your shipments. Choose from options like Daily Pickup, Customer Counter, One Time Pickup, and more to optimize live rates and improve rate accuracy.
  • Destination Address Type: Select a specific address type when UPS cannot validate the recipient’s address, ensuring the rate is calculated correctly.
  • Delivery Confirmation: Add UPS Signature Delivery Confirmation to your rates by choosing between None, Signature Required, or Adult Signature Required.
  • Handling Fee: Apply a fixed or percentage-based fee, or even a discount, to all returned UPS live rates.

Encourage larger orders by easily configuring a free shipping threshold. Once customers reach a predetermined order total, they automatically qualify for free shipping, which can help boost conversion rates and overall customer satisfaction.

Usage Example: During a marketing campaign, an online store sets a free shipping threshold at $200. Customers, motivated by the promotional offer, add extra items to their carts to reach the threshold, resulting in higher average order values and increased overall satisfaction.

Break down international barriers with seamless multi-currency support. When enabled, the UPS PRO plugin automatically converts live shipping rates into the currency your customers are using, ensuring a smooth, localized checkout experience every time. Supported currency switchers include:

With compatibility for these leading currency switchers, you can confidently expand your market, reduce customer hesitation, and increase conversion rates. Empower your store to cater to a global audience without any extra hassle, let your shipping rates speak your customer’s language.

Fast answers for a quick start

Because we’re not just another WordPress plugin shop - we’ve specialized in WooCommerce shipping solutions for over 10 years. That focus has given us deep expertise and a level of professionalization most generalist developers can’t match.

Here’s what sets us apart:
  1. Experience and specialization - a decade of building only shipping plugins means our tools are stable, polished, and proven in thousands of stores worldwide.
  2. Continuous innovation - we change with the market, adding features like built-in AI assistants, better automation, and support for the latest WooCommerce and UPS updates.
  3. We never leave customers behind - we constantly expand and speed up our help channels: an AI chat assistant available 24/7, a full human support team for complex cases, in-house developers ready to advise, plus a dedicated QA/testing team to catch issues early. Our documentation is updated daily with new guides and examples.
  4. Fair pricing policy - we know inflation hurts. Unlike many SaaS companies, we’ve never raised subscription renewal prices for existing customers in over 10 years. If you stay with us, you keep paying the same rate you signed up for - no surprises.
With Octolize, you’re not gambling on a side project. You’re partnering with a team fully committed to shipping - and to you.
Core WooCommerce gives you flat/free rates per zone and stops there. UPS PRO pulls actual UPS prices in real time from your own account and shows customers accurate options automatically. No more guesswork or manual price tables. You can also offer UPS Access Points at checkout to lift conversions and reduce failed deliveries.
The UPS PRO plugin focuses on showing live rates and Access Points at checkout. If you also want to generate and print UPS labels inside WooCommerce, you’ll need our dedicated UPS Labels and Tracking add-on.
You can buy it separately, or get it as part of the Complete UPS Integration Bundle, which combines rates, labels, and tracking into one package for full UPS automation.
You can change the currency the UPS live rates are displayed in using one of the following currency switchers we’ve tested and confirmed the compatibility with:
  1. Aelia Currency Switcher
  2. FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce (WOOCS)
  3. Currency Switcher for WooCommerce by WP Wham
  4. CURCY – Multi Currency for WooCommerce by VillaTheme
  5. WooCommerce Multilingual (a part of the WPML package)
Yes. You can enable UPS Worldwide services, display live cross-border rates, and even offer Access Points in other countries where UPS supports them.
No worries - it’s usually a quick fix. Here’s what you can do:
  1. Use the built-in Debug Mode - this tool shows messages right in the cart explaining why the method isn’t appearing in a few seconds. 
  2. Dive into our detailed documentation - we have documented nearly every issue and solution to help you troubleshoot faster. 
  3. Tap into our AI Assistant chat, available 24/7 and get instant, AI-powered help diagnosing and resolving your issue. 
  4. Prefer human help? Our support team is always ready to assist with setup, rule adjustments, or custom configurations. 
You’re never stuck - there is always a clear path to a working shipping setup.
 Yes. We have prepared several ways to save money:
  1. Volume discounts - starting from 2 sites, you get at least 20% off, with bigger discounts for larger license packs.
  2. Bundles - grab the Live Rates Bundle or All Plugins Bundle to access multiple plugins at once for up to 83% less than buying separately.
  3. Seasonal promotions - we occasionally run limited-time deals, announced on our website and social channels. Follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn and sign up for our newsletter to catch these deals when they go live.
No matter if you’re a solo store owner, developer, or agency, you’ll always find a cost-effective way to get the features you need.
Yes, there is a 7-day online demo and a 30-day money-back guarantee on purchases. Currently, we don’t provide a downloadable trial version for installation on your own test site, but thanks to the refund policy, you can safely buy it, test it on staging or production, and request a refund within 30 days if it doesn’t meet your needs.
No – we don’t surprise you with price hikes. When you choose to renew after 12 months, it’s always at the same price you originally paid. Any future price changes apply only to new customers, not to your existing renewal. This policy helps plan predictable long-term costs and prevents unexpected increases in their maintenance budget.

I am a small store owner

 It’s straightforward: 
  1. Buy the plugin,
  2. Connect your UPS account, 
  3. Add the UPS method to your zone
  4. Go to your new shipping method, check each setting, and make tests to ensure everything is working smoothly.  
The docs include a full video walkthrough and step-by-step screens.
You’re never on your own.
  1. Debug mode shows you exactly why a method didn’t appear. 
  2. Documentation covers nearly every issue step by step. 
  3. Chat AI Assistant gives instant answers 24/7. 
  4. Human support team helps with complex cases in under 24 business hours. 

So, whether you want to troubleshoot yourself or hand it over to us, there’s always a quick way forward.
No problem - we have prepared a step-by-step guide in our documentation to help you quickly verify and fix these discrepancie
Absolutely. Just tick one box to define a threshold (e.g., orders over $75), and UPS PRO will automatically apply free shipping once the cart total qualifies.
Not at all. You control which services appear, their names, and their order at checkout. This way, you can highlight the most profitable or popular options and hide those that don’t make sense for your business

I am a WooCommerce developer

Yes, one license = one production site. Staging or test sites are included for free and don’t consume an extra license. If you manage multiple client projects, you don’t need to worry about costs spiraling:
  1. Volume discounts start at just 2 sites (20% off and up - the more licenses you buy, the bigger the discount). 
  2. Bundles (like the Complete UPS Integration Bundle) give you up to 83% off compared to buying plugins separately. 
Seasonal promo codes are also available during special campaigns. Follow us on Facebook or LinkedIn and sign up for our newsletter to catch seasonal deals.
Absolutely. Octolize provides a full range of live-rate plugins: DHL Express, FedEx, Canada Post, USPS, Royal Mail, and more. 
All of them can run side-by-side with UPS PRO. Developers often combine them with Flexible Shipping PRO to add conditional costs (e.g., handling fees, insurance, regional surcharges). This means you can build complex multi-carrier setups while keeping the checkout streamlined.
Yes. UPS PRO exposes shipment details directly in WooCommerce order meta (shipping_lines). This lets you pull or send data to external integrations. For each shipment, you can access:
  1. ups_access_point → Access Point ID,
  2. ups_access_point_address → full address of the chosen point,
  3. ups_service_code → UPS service code used.
Here’s an example structure. You can use it to feed into ERP, fulfillment, or third-party shipping tools. This way, your clients’ Access Point selections or service codes are not locked in WooCommerce — they’re reusable across their logistics stack.
With Debug Mode. It displays step-by-step reasons in the cart/checkout: what rules were triggered, what data was sent to UPS API, and why a method was hidden or failed. You can also copy the log output for client reports or to share with support.
Yes. Rates are fetched per-session/cart, so they don’t get cached incorrectly. We recommend excluding checkout/cart pages from aggressive caching. UPS PRO is optimized for speed in high-traffic WooCommerce environments.
Our support covers setup, configuration, and troubleshooting with UPS PRO and its features.  We provide:
  1. Full documentation, updated daily, including guides and code examples, 
  2. Debug mode to analyze why a rate or method doesn’t appear, 
  3. AI Assistant chat for instant answers, 
  4. Human support team with <24h response time on business days. 
We don’t offer custom development of new features or integrations for individual client projects.

I have a WooCommerce agency

The UPS plugin and docs are actively maintained; product pages list current WooCommerce support and update dates, and the docs outline troubleshooting and advanced configuration.
Lock in Negotiated Rates, add handling/insurance where appropriate, and set cutoff/lead/blackout logic so your promises survive peak. These options are method-level, so you can template them per client.
Yes. Your Octolize account dashboard lets you manage all subscriptions in one place – invoices, license activations, and renewals. You’ll also get VAT invoices automatically after each purchase, which makes accounting for agencies much simpler.
We follow strict semantic versioning and thoroughly test each release against the latest versions of WooCommerce and PHP, so that agencies can update with confidence. It’s crucial to keep the plugin always up-to-date, rather than letting it go unmaintained for years. Here’s why:
  1. Security, compatibility & performance hinge on regular updates. Updates often include critical patches and improvements. Skipping them increases the risk of breaks or vulnerabilities
  2. Best practice: test updates on a staging site first, then push them live after verification. This minimizes disruptions

Avoiding long delays (e.g., skipping updates for years) drastically raises the chance of incompatibility with WooCommerce core or other plugins.
We understand agency workflows often come with deadlines. That’s why we offer:
  1. AI Assistant (instant guidance),
  2. Live chat on octolize.com (quick answers),
  3. Extensive docs for troubleshooting,
  4. Human support replies in under 24 hours on business days.
You are never left alone in front of your client.
