Setup Requirements

1. USPS Shipping is automatically installed and activated with PWS Core for all Woo sites
2. The USPS User ID is setup automatically so customers can start using this shipping method without any further configuration necessary if they choose to.
3. After the site is built, the customer will need to create a shipping zone and setup their shipping method – they can choose USPS as an option – they can add flat rates, fallback rates or enable API rates that use USPS to generate the cost based on the purchaser’s location
4. For new build sites, at the moment, we are not required to do anything more than ensure the plugin is active in Core.

Configure Settings

• Method Title – Name the shipping method. This is visible to customers.
• Offer Rates – Choose the options you want to give customers.
• Fallback – Enter a fallback shipping cost (optional), if no rates are returned from the API. This allows the customer to check out if USPS does not return matching rates. When using this option, do not use a dollar sign, just enter the amount (ex: 12.50).
•  Flat Rates
  1. Flat Rate Boxes and Envelopes – Enable this option to offer shipping using USPS Flat Rate services. Items are packed into the boxes/envelopes, and the customer is offered a single rate.
  2. Express Flat Rate Title – Give a custom name to the express flat rate.
  3. Priority Flat Rate Title – Give a custom name to the priority flat rate.
  4. Additional Fee – Enter a fee per box excluding tax, such as an amount (2.50) or a percentage (5%). Or leave blank to disable.
•  API Rates – Check to enable non-flat rates using the USPS API. Default is all services available; or choose what to offer from the available shipping services listed below. You can adjust:
  1. Enable API Rates – This enables non-flat rate services.
  2. Origin Postcode – Postcode from where you ship. It is sent to the USPS API.
  3. Shipping Rates – Retail rates are standard costs, Commercial rates are discounted.
  4. Parcel Packing Method – See below for more detailed explanation.

Note: The USPS shipping extension is a calculator for all products in the cart and does not exclude products based on shipping classes.
