ShippingIQ — Freight Rates for WooCommerce

Beskrivelse

ShippingIQ connects your WooCommerce store to your actual carrier contracts. Install the plugin, create your free account inside WordPress, upload your carrier rate cards, and your real contracted rates appear at checkout automatically — no separate sign-up step, no manual configuration.

How it works

1. Install this plugin and go to WooCommerce → ShippingIQ to create your free account
2. Upload your carrier rate cards (CSV, Excel, or PDF — any format)
3. Your contracted rates appear at checkout automatically

What makes ShippingIQ different

Most shipping plugins use their own carrier accounts and add a margin. ShippingIQ uses your contracted rates — so your customers see exactly what you negotiated with your carrier, with no hidden markup unless you choose to add one.

Supported carriers

Any Australian carrier. ShippingIQ’s AI parser handles any rate card format — Allied Express, Mainfreight, StarTrack, Hunter Express, and more. If your carrier gives you a rate card, ShippingIQ can use it.

Features
