Did you know WooCommerce powers over 28% of all online stores?
Their platform has over 123 million downloads.
And the best ecommerce stores amongst these 123 million downloads have a clearly defined shipping strategy.
Choosing a shipping option can be confusing, especially when you’re starting out and trying to get your ecommerce site up and running.
There are myriad choices when it comes to finding ways to integrate your WooCommerce store with a shipping provider.
So which couriers integrate with WooCommerce and what’s the best choice for you?
Which Australian Couriers integrate with WooCommerce as a plugin?
Australia Post
Australia Post has their own integrated plugin for WooCommerce and offers two different versions of their service – free and pro.
Note: Australia Post is also available in other courier-aggregated plugins on WooCommerce.
Fastway
This service has only just launched their WooCommerce plugin and offers an open API for customisation.
If you’re looking for a simple integration without getting help from a developer, you may want to avoid API customisations.
That’s a pretty limited choice, so how can you integrate the best couriers in a single shipping plugin without all the hassle?
What’s the easiest way to integrate your WooCommerce store and access a range of couriers in one place?
You can access Australian Couriers as an aggregated service – integrated into a single WooCommerce plugin!
