Key Features of Shipping Live Rates and Access Points for UPS for WooCommerce PRO GPL

Explore the plugin’s sample functions to get a more in-depth understanding of its overall capabilities.

Automatic live rates – Secure REST API integration

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.

Parcel Packing Method

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.

UPS services management

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.

Rates adjustments & delivery options

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.

Free Shipping

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.

Multi-currency compatibility – boost your global sales
