ShipStation negotiates discounted rates with 100+ carriers. The official ShipStation plugin for WooCommerce cannot show those rates at checkout. ShipStation’s own Checkout Rates feature covers Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, and Wix. WooCommerce is not on the list. So your checkout falls back to flat-rate tables, and flat-rate tables leak money on every heavy or long-distance order. The Baymard Institute found that 48% of shoppers abandon their cart when shipping costs come in higher than expected. Without live ShipStation checkout rates, you are guessing what shipping will cost – and either eating the difference or losing the sale. 1TeamSoftware built ShipStation Live Rates for WooCommerce to close that gap. Real carrier quotes on your cart and checkout pages, using the negotiated rates you already pay for inside ShipStation. Buyers pay what shipping actually costs. You stop subsidizing it. Every 1TeamSoftware shipping plugin ships with full HPOS and Blocks checkout support, and this one is no exception. It also connects to a wider ecosystem of shipping, fulfillment, and marketplace tools – detailed below. The best part? Live ShipStation rates at cart and checkout, rate caching, insurance, and signature support are completely FREE. Upgrade to PRO anytime for label printing, two-way order sync, returns, bulk PDF labels, automatic tracking emails, and multivendor origin support. Already on ShipStation Gold or higher? The plugin uses the carriers and negotiated rates already inside your account. Since May 19, 2025, ShipStation restricts API access to a paid Gold subscription. If you are on a lower tier, the API will not return rates. Check shipstation.com for current plan details. Not on Gold yet? See our ShipEngine plugin instead – it works without a ShipStation subscription. Why Store Owners Choose 1TeamSoftware ShipStation live rates at checkout – Real carrier quotes appear as soon as the buyer’s address is entered, on the pages you choose Your negotiated ShipStation rates – Uses the carrier pricing already inside your account, including USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL 100+ carriers – Any carrier connected to your ShipStation dashboard, available the moment you paste your API key API v1 and v2 support (PRO) – Order sync and rate quoting via the ShipStation REST API, with PRO unlocking the v2 endpoints for labels, tracking, and insurance Blocks checkout and HPOS – Works on both classic and Blocks-based WooCommerce checkout, with full High-Performance Order Storage support Multivendor origin (PRO) – Per-vendor rates and labels for Dokan, WCFM, MultiVendorX, and YITH How We Compare The official ShipStation plugin for WooCommerce imports orders and prints labels but cannot show live rates at checkout. This plugin shows live rates at checkout for free, plus free insurance and signature support. PRO adds dimension-based box packing, return labels, and multivendor origin support on top. A Connected Shipping Ecosystem We have been building WooCommerce shipping plugins since 2016, and thousands of stores rely on them across multiple carrier integrations. This ShipStation WooCommerce plugin is one piece of a larger suite, built by the same team to work together: Marketplace fulfillment – Shipping Labels for WCFM and Shipping Labels for Dokan let marketplace vendors print their own labels Cart splitting – Shipping Packages breaks a cart into independent shipments Label automation – Instant Labels automates purchasing and email delivery Advanced rate rules – Flexible Shipping Per Package adds table-rate conditions Batch documents – Shipping Manifests groups shipments and prints manifests Multi-location orders – Package Orders splits orders by ship-from location A single-purpose rate plugin cannot match this, and neither can the official extension. Stop Losing Money on Flat-Rate Shipping Charge a flat $10 for shipping and the actual carrier cost comes in at $24. You eat $14. Do that on 100 orders a month and you have lost $1,400. Run the same math for a year and the leak becomes hard to ignore. The reverse is just as bad. Charge $20 flat on a light order that costs $7 to ship, and you are overcharging the buyer – which costs you conversions on the orders you would have won on price. ShipStation live rates at checkout solve both sides. Heavy orders cost more. Light orders cost less. Long-distance shipments price correctly. Dense local deliveries price correctly. The buyer pays what the carrier charges, plus whatever margin you configure. Real Carrier Quotes, Not Estimates Most WooCommerce shipping plugins estimate based on weight bands or generic tables. 1TeamSoftware pulls the actual negotiated rate from your ShipStation account for the exact origin, destination, weight, and dimensions of the order. Buyers see what ShipStation would charge you, plus any fixed fee or percentage markup you apply. No surprises on either side of the transaction. Live Rates at Cart and Checkout Every cart gets a real quote based on weight, destination, and your negotiated ShipStation 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 to protect your margin Group items into one parcel (PRO) or quote per product for the cheapest rate Add a fixed fee or percentage markup to rates Include insurance and request-signature services Cache recent quotes so a busy checkout stays fast Which Carriers Can I Show at Checkout? Any carrier connected to your ShipStation account. The most common are: USPS – Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, Ground Advantage, Media Mail UPS – Ground, Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, Worldwide services FedEx – Express, Ground, Home Delivery, Freight DHL – Express, eCommerce, Parcel 100+ regional and international carriers – GLS, Evri, Australia Post, Canada Post, Royal Mail, Purolator, and more You choose which carriers and services appear at checkout, per shipping zone. Whitelist the services you actually sell, hide the rest. Order Sync with Your ShipStation Account PRO connects WooCommerce to your ShipStation dashboard through a two-way ShipStation WooCommerce integration powered by the ShipStation API (v1). Order sync replaces the manual copy-paste that most ShipStation for WooCommerce workflows still rely on. When you buy a label inside WooCommerce, the order is pushed into ShipStation so your dashboard reflects the same fulfillment state. When you process orders inside ShipStation instead – through automations, routing rules, or batch workflows – the tracking number and shipment status flow back into WooCommerce automatically. One source of truth. No copying and pasting tracking numbers. No marking orders complete in two places.

Need support? 1TeamSoftware specializes in WooCommerce shipping. We have built carrier integrations, marketplace shipping tools, and custom fulfillment workflows since 2016. If you need help configuring this plugin, want a custom shipping integration, or have a complex rate-rule scenario our settings do not cover – contact us. We likely already solved it for another store, or can build it for yours. PRO users get priority support with direct access to our development team. We respond fast, we know the codebase inside out, and we ship fixes. Free users get above-average support too, but please use our contact form rather than the WordPress.org support forum. The forum makes it difficult to troubleshoot shipping issues (you cannot safely share API keys, order numbers, or store URLs there) and our team can help you much faster through direct contact.
