Can you integrate a local courier that doesn’t have a standard WordPress plugin?
Yes. As long as your courier provides an API or a way to exchange data (like JSON or XML), we can build a custom bridge. We specialize in “Native Integration”, meaning the method will appear in your WooCommerce settings just like any other shipping option.
How do you handle shipping for items that require different carriers in one order?
We implement “Shipping Class” logic or custom “Split-Cart” algorithms. This allows the system to calculate shipping separately for different types of products (e.g., a small accessory via post and a large sofa via freight) and combine them into a single quote for the customer.
Will the real-time API calls slow down my checkout page?
No. We implement “Rate Caching” and optimized API requests to ensure the checkout remains fast. If a carrier’s API takes too long to respond, our “Fallback Logic” kicks in, providing a predefined rate so the customer can always complete their purchase.
Can we set up different shipping rates for B2B and B2C customers?
Absolutely. We can build logic that checks the user’s “Customer Role” or metadata before calculating the shipping cost. This is a standard requirement for B2B portals where wholesale clients might have special shipping contracts or “Collect from Warehouse” options.
Do you support volumetric weight (DIM weight) calculations?
Yes. We can develop algorithms that take the “Length, Width, and Height” of all items in the cart into account. We can even implement a “Virtual Box” logic that estimates how many boxes will be needed for the order to provide the most accurate shipping cost possible.
What happens if the shipping price changes on the carrier side?
Since we connect directly to the carrier’s “Live API”, the rates on your site will always reflect the current prices provided by the shipping company. You won’t need to manually update rates when the carrier changes their pricing structure.
