Fromme.cc vs Advanced Shipment Tracking for WooCommerce

Fromme WooCommerce UPS Shipping Plugin This WordPress plugin provides a seamless integration between your store, WooCommerce, and the Fromme.cc online system, allowing for the calculation of UPS shipping rates directly within the checkout process. The system is designed to provide immediate, real-time rates based on the specific discount agreements you hold with the local UPS Authorized Service Contractor (UPS ASC). Features Instant Rate Calculation: Provides immediate calculation of shipping rates via the API without manual intervention. Real-Time Tariffs: Rates are updated and provided in real-time according to current UPS conditions. Discounted Pricing: Calculates prices based on the specific discount matrix associated with the client\’s UPS ASC agreement. Service Selection: Automatically returns a list of available UPS services and their corresponding costs directly to the customer in the checkout process. Configuration After installation, you must configure the necessary UPS and discount credentials in the plugin settings, which are found within the WooCommerce Shipping Zones settings. Define Shipping Origin: Set the originating location of your shipments within WooCommerce (e.g., Riga, Latvia, in the demonstration). Enter Credentials: Input the required API settings, including the Client Identifier and Secret. These are typically obtained by clients through the UPS developer portal. Input Discount Key: Enter the unique Discount Key (or UPS ASC key) associated with your rate matrix. If the client does not know their discount key, they must contact the sales manager. Once these three points are correctly established, and the shipping zone is selected, WooCommerce automatically handles the rest. How it Works When a customer adds an item (such as a cap or hat) to their cart and proceeds to checkout, they enter their delivery address. The plugin automatically makes an API call to Fromme.cc, which returns the list of available services and the precise shipping costs based on the client\’s individual discount matrix. The customer can then select the desired service directly from the checkout page. External services This plugin relies on the following third-party services to function: It connects to UPS APIs to authenticate and retrieve live shipping rates. It connects to the FromMe.cc API to obtain discount-adjusted shipping rates. UPS Purpose: Used to authenticate the API and retrieve real-time shipping rate information for products. What it does: The plugin uses a two-step OAuth 2.0 process. It first sends a request to the UPS security server to generate a time-limited access token. Once authenticated, it calls the https://onlinetools.ups.com/api/rating/v2409/Shop endpoint to calculate shipping costs. Data sent: Authentication: Client Identifier and Secret are sent to obtain an access token configured by the administrator. Shipping Calculation: Product details (weight, dimensions, service options) and shipping parameters (origin, destination) are sent to calculate rates. When: When requesting OAuth token. When calculating shipping rates. Service: UPS Service Links: Terms of Use | Privacy Policy FromMe Purpose: Used to calculate and retrieve discounted shipping rates for shop items.
