Fromme.cc vs Advanced Free Shipping 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.

With the Advanced Free Shipping for WooCommerce plugin you can setup your own advanced rules to determine when a free shipping rate should be available for the customer. This plugin will give you full control over your free WooCommerce shipping rates. Within each shipping rate you can create multiple ‘OR’ condition groups with multiple ‘AND’ conditions inside each group. This means that it is very easy to setup a free shipping rate for multiple user roles in one shipping rate for example. There are many default shipping conditions available. Conditions like: Subtotal Quantity User role Country Zipcode Shipping class Category Weight Volume (Width / Length / Height) many, many more… Not there what you’re looking for? The plugin has been made to be easily extensible, meaning you can also add your own custom conditions through code snippets! Look at the screenshots!

These plugin work on the ‘Free shipping’ option that is provided in WooCommerce by default. It is unlikely that these plugins will work out of the box with Advanced Free Shipping due to the complexity of the conditional logic. In case you do want to show this kind of message, The Advanced Messages for WooCommerce plugin allows you to setup a message with the same type of conditions, allowing you to setup the messages according to the same needs as the free shipping options.
