Shipping charges are an important part of the WooCommerce checkout process, particularly when delivery costs vary according to parcel size, weight, and destination.
WooCommerce Australia Post Shipping Method provides an integration for stores that want to use Australia Post services when calculating shipping options. Once configured, the extension can use the customer's destination together with the relevant product shipping information to determine available rates.
For example, an Australian retailer can provide Parcel Post for standard deliveries while also offering Express Post where available. International customers can be presented with supported Australia Post international services according to the store's configuration and destination.
The extension provides options for controlling how Australia Post services are presented in your store. Administrators can select the delivery services they want to offer, configure handling charges, and establish fallback pricing for situations where a live rate cannot be obtained.
Australian stores can configure supported domestic services and display applicable shipping choices based on the customer's destination.
For stores selling to customers outside Australia, supported international delivery services can be configured where Australia Post and the extension provide applicable rates.
Shipping calculations can take product weight and dimensions into consideration. For reliable results, product shipping information should be configured correctly in WooCommerce.
If a live shipping response is unavailable, configured fallback rates can provide an alternative shipping charge. This gives store administrators another option for handling situations where live-rate retrieval does not return a usable result.
