How shipping rates and delivery estimates appear

Australia Post WooCommerce Extension Pro calculates shipping costs and delivery estimates for customers in the cart and at checkout. WooCommerce shipping zones let you organize delivery options by destination. You can personalize the titles shown for shipping methods and choose to display the cheapest available option when several methods apply.

Choose domestic and international services

For domestic orders, enable or disable Regular Post, Express Post and Courier Post. Courier services are available between metropolitan locations. International services include Economy Air, Economy Sea, Standard International, Express International and International Courier.

You can enable Extra Cover and Signature on Delivery. A separate setting lets customers choose whether to add either service to an order; enable the individual service as well for that choice to appear.

Set packaging and shipping adjustments

For international shipping, enter details for custom boxes so the extension can use them when calculating prices. If a product is missing its weight or dimensions, configure default values for the extension to use.

Handling adjustments can be a fixed amount or a percentage. A positive value adds a handling fee, while a negative value reduces the shipping cost.

Offer prepaid satchels and letter services

Prepaid domestic satchels have fixed prices. Available options are Regular Post small (500g), medium (3kg) and large (5kg) satchels; Express Post small (500g), medium (3kg) and large (5kg) satchels; and Courier Post medium (3kg) satchels.

For smaller entries, you can enable domestic letter services:

• Regular Small Letter, Regular Large Letter, Regular Large Light Letter, Regular Large Medium Letter and Regular Large Heavy Letter
• Express Post Small Envelope, Express Post Medium Letter and Express Post Large Envelope
• Priority Small Letter, Priority Large Light Letter, Priority Large Medium Letter and Priority Large Heavy Letter

International letter options include Standard Letter, Express Letter, Courier Letter, Registered Small Letter, Registered Large Letter, Registered Small Envelope, Registered Large Envelope, Economy Air Light Letter, Economy Air Medium Letter and Economy Air Heavy Letter.

Provide tracking and test your settings

You can display an estimated delivery time on cart and checkout pages. Tracking adds the Australia Post tracking number to the order page, makes a tracking link in the customer’s account and includes the link in order emails.

Debug mode activates the shipping display for you and shows debugging information at checkout, which can help you test settings and shipping prices. To set up the extension, install and activate it in WordPress, then configure services, default product dimensions and weight, boxes, method titles, delivery estimates, tracking and other options. An Australia Post API key is required to use the API.
