The Canada Post WooCommerce Shipping plugin is a plugin designed to provide integration between Canada Post and your WooCommerce website.

This plugin enables live shipping rates directly in the WooCommerce shopping cart and checkout page. The plugin is designed to use Canada Post’s new Web Services for speed and stability.

One of the main features of this plugin is that it allows you to create Canada Post shipment labels directly from your WooCommerce orders.

These labels can be generated as PDF files and printed out for shipment on the package. The tracking number is automatically added to the order in this plugin’s Parcel Tracking service.

Shipment labels can be generated for Non-Contract customers (such as small businesses or venture one) as well as Contract customers that do not need a Manifest.

The plugin also provides parcel-tracking functionality. When a PIN (Parcel Identification Number) or Tracking Number is added to the customer’s order details, the plugin automatically looks up the most recent and up-to-date event information available for your order from Canada Post and updates the order accordingly.

You can also set up an automatic email notification to be sent to your customer when the package is mailed or delivered.

Another important feature of this plugin is the ability to use multiple warehouses. You can define more than one shipping origin for rates lookup and shipments, and the plugin uses geolocation to determine the closest shipment point to the destination postal code. The selection is saved with the WooCommerce order.

The Canada Post WooCommerce Shipping plugin also allows you to add a markup/margin to shipping rates, and use shipment boxes in rates calculation.

Additionally, the plugin includes a Lettermail service that can be set as a flat rate for smaller items or promotions.

This plugin is fully bilingual in English and French, and translation-ready with language files. It requires a Canada Post Account/Venture One and API Access (which is free), and you can sign up online at the Canada Post Developer Program.

Overall, the Canada Post WooCommerce Shipping plugin provides a comprehensive solution for integrating Canada Post shipping services into your WooCommerce website, enabling you to provide your customers with accurate and up-to-date shipping rates and tracking information.
