Flexible Shipping UPS PRO

What clients see at checkout

Flexible Shipping UPS PRO extends UPS live-rate shipping in WooCommerce. It connects to the UPS API to display available shipping options and calculated rates at checkout. The base integration calculates costs from the cart weight and shipping address, and customers can pick from the UPS services available to the shop.

When UPS Access Points are enabled, the plugin can suggest nearby locations for a customer's address. The selected point can be saved to the order, and Access Point deliveries can use a flat rate.

How packing and rate settings work

For orders with multiple products, automatic box packing uses product weight and volume to help calculate shipping requirements. You can define custom boxes with their own weight and padding, then choose from the available box packing methods.

Apply fixed-value or percentage handling fees and discounts to UPS rates. Other controls include negotiated rates, service limitations, insurance, fallback costs for UPS API connection problems, WooCommerce Shipping Zones compatibility, and a free shipping threshold. Multi-currency support works through WooCommerce currency switcher extensions. Delivery Confirmation is also available.

How delivery estimates are set

The plugin can show an estimated delivery date at checkout. Advanced estimates can account for maximum time in transit, cutoff times, and lead time. You can exclude days of the week from the estimate and define destination address types for more specific date handling. Customers can review the estimated timing alongside the available UPS shipping methods before placing an order.

Which UPS services are supported

Available services include UPS Express, UPS Standard, UPS Worldwide Expedited, UPS Worldwide Express Plus, UPS Worldwide Saver, UPS Ground, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 3 Day Select, UPS Next Day Air, UPS Simple Rate, and SurePost services. UPS Worldwide Express Freight and UPS Worldwide Express Freight Midday are also included in the available list.

How to connect and set up the plugin

Install and activate the Flexible Shipping UPS plugin and its PRO edition in your WooCommerce store. Connect to UPS with one-click OAuth authorization through the REST API, or use a UPS Access Key through the XML API. Then configure shipping services, the packing method and boxes, Access Points, fees, and delivery-date settings. Review the available options at checkout before making the method available to customers.

The plugin is compatible with the UPS Labels extension, which can create shipments, generate printable UPS shipping labels, and track parcels from the WooCommerce store. Priority email support is included with the PRO upgrade.
