Live Shipping Rates for WooCommerce

[DaniM]

It would be great if we would be able to display live shipping rates at WooCommerce Cart and Checkout pages utilizing Shipstation API without having to rely on third parties.

This topic started back in 2020 (at least) on this discussion:
https://community.shipstation.com/t5/Order-Source-Integrations/Sending-rates-from-ShipStation-to-Woo...

If you guys have no plans to do it, can you just say so? This is SOOOO needed.

Please add this. Major gap - especially considering how massive Woocommerce is. I just signed up for a free trial and this lack may be a deal breaker for us. Frankly, I'm pretty shocked the Woocommerce plugin I just installed doesn't handle live rates. So odd. Big miss.

We desperately need this for WooCom too!  Any idea if and when live rates integration will be available for WooCom?

Update us please!

Just another frustrated customer wondering why this has not been implemented yet. Since the last update seems to be "there is no update", I assume that means they are not even working on this. 

Are the people who switched Easyship still happy with still happy them?

Hello @KO!

Thank you for expressing your frustration with this. Currently, we need permission from Woohoo Commerce to do this. Currently, we have not been able to get their approval. 

Have an excellent rest of your Friday!

ShipStation - When will Live Shipping Rates for WooCommerce be implemented? This has been an issue for at least 4 years. Are you going to implement this or not? I am researching a move to another provider.

They clearly aren't going to.  That fact that the admin above referred to it as "Woohoo Commerce" should tell you everything you need to know.  Not to mention there aren't any permission or approvals required, tons of 3rd party plugins out there for Woo.

Just switch to EasyShip and be done with it.  We switch a while ago and it integrates perfectly with live rate support and a few other benefits over Shipstation.

Yeah, ShipStation doesn't care about WooCommerce at all. They have obviously done the math, and if they lose 80% of their Woo business because of this lack of features, it won't impact them.

Please don't take my word for it. Go look at their Innovation site and find something that they have launched with WooCommerce support (https://innovation.shipstation.com/)

Hello @DaniM 

I also wanted to share a quick update from our development team. We’re aware that ShipStation support for WooCommerce Live Rates has been a topic of interest, and I’m pleased to let you know that it is on our roadmap. This is a fairly large project with several moving parts, and the current estimated timeline is mid-to-late 2026. I’ll be sure to share any updates as they become available, though please keep in mind that this timeline is subject to change as work progresses.

Your feedback plays a significant role in shaping our priorities, and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your needs with us. I’ve also set a reminder to check in with the team after Q1 to see how things are progressing!

Happy Shipping!
