The WooCommerce UPS Shipping Method plugin is a shipping extension for WooCommerce, a popular e-commerce platform used to create online stores and sell products.

This plugin allows store owners to offer real-time shipping rates to customers during the checkout process based on their products’ weight, dimensions, and destination address.

To use the WooCommerce UPS Shipping Method plugin, your server must have SimpleXML installed.

The plugin primarily works with measurements in Inches (in) and weight in Pounds (lbs), although it can automatically convert other units.

The Rates API will return rates in the currency of the country in which the API was registered, so it’s important to ensure that this matches your store’s currency.

The WooCommerce UPS Shipping Method plugin can calculate quotes for both domestic and international parcels using UPS’s extensive network.

For domestic shipments, the plugin can calculate rates for Next Day Air Early, Next Day Air, Next Day Air Saver, 2nd Day Air AM, 2nd Day Air, 3 Day Select, Ground, Standard, and Simple Rate.

For international shipments, the plugin can calculate rates for Worldwide Express, Worldwide Express Plus, Worldwide Expedited, and Saver.

It’s important to note that this plugin does not handle freight shipping, and there is a weight limit of 150 lbs per individual package.

The API and the built-in box packer require that non-virtual products have weights and dimensions set, so it’s important to ensure that your products have accurate weight and dimension information entered.

Overall, the WooCommerce UPS Shipping Method plugin is a valuable tool for store owners who need to offer reliable and accurate shipping rates to their customers.

By leveraging UPS’s powerful shipping network and real-time rates, store owners can provide a seamless checkout experience for their customers and increase sales.
