Introduction
The WooCommerce Shipping Plugin for Myfreight/Myparcel is a full shipping solution for any WooCommerce online retailer who ships products within Australia.
The WooCommerce Shipping Plugin for Myfreight/Myparcel is add-on software for WordPress websites which deploy the WooCommerce online store. It provides real-time independent domestic shipping pricing for the Cart and Checkout pages, prepares shipping consignments when the customer places an order, prints labels and manifests, books the transport carrier when the ordered goods are ready to ship, and tracks the shipment through to the buyer, providing delivery status updates via email and the WooCommerce admin panels.
The plugin accesses Myfreight's massive database of competitive shipping rates from an extensive list of major and regional transport carriers. It presents the lowest cost shipping service for sending the selected goods to the customer delivery address, or allows customers to choose from a selection of freight services.
