Show real carrier rates at checkout and stop guessing at shipping costs. ShipEngine gives you deeply discounted rates from 100+ carriers – this free plugin puts those live rates right on your WooCommerce cart and checkout pages, validates the shipping address before the order is placed, and works with the ShipStation API too. Flat-rate shipping leaks money on every heavy or long-distance order, and surprise shipping costs abandon carts. ShipEngine Shipping for WooCommerce fixes both: buyers pay what shipping actually costs, and you stop eating the difference. The best part? Live rates at cart and checkout, address validation, and rate caching are completely FREE. Upgrade to PRO anytime for label printing, returns, bulk labels, tracking, and multivendor support. Why Store Owners Choose This Plugin Live rates at checkout – Real carrier quotes appear the moment a buyer enters their address 100+ carriers – USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL and more, through your existing ShipEngine account Address validation – Catch typos before the order, cut failed deliveries and reships Works with ShipEngine and the ShipStation API – Auctane is consolidating ShipEngine into the ShipStation API; the plugin works under either name and your current key keeps working Fast checkout – Recent rates are cached and reused, so busy checkouts stay snappy Sandbox mode – Test your full setup before going live Works on any checkout – Supports both the classic and the Blocks-based WooCommerce checkout Live Rates at Cart and Checkout Every cart gets a real quote based on weight, destination, and your negotiated ShipEngine rates: Show rates on the cart page, checkout, or both – your choice Enable rates globally or per shipping zone Cap how many carrier options appear at checkout Set a min and max rate cost to protect your margin Group items into one parcel or quote per product for the best rate Add handling fees, markups, or currency conversion Include insurance and request-signature services Address Validation That Prevents Failed Deliveries One wrong address becomes a return-to-sender, a reship, and a support ticket.
