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 ShippingIQ calculates your real contracted freight costs at checkout automatically – no separate sign-up step, no manual configuration.

How it works

Install this plugin and go to WooCommerce -> ShippingIQ to create your free account
Upload your carrier rate card (CSV or Excel) in the My Carrier tab
Set your shipping rules in the Rules tab
Your contracted freight is calculated 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 layout – Allied Express, Mainfreight, StarTrack, Hunter Express, and more. Upload it as CSV or Excel. If your carrier only supplies a PDF, Pro merchants can convert it to CSV first using the Rate Card Converter at shippingiq.com.au.

Features – included on the free plan

Real-time freight calculation at checkout
Supports weight-break, basic charge + per kg, and depot-to-depot pricing models
Per-carrier fuel levy – set your carrier’s levy percentage so quotes match your invoices
Per-carrier cubic factor – set the conversion factor your carrier actually uses (default 250)
Origin depot selection for carriers that quote from more than one depot
Free shipping threshold with smart surcharge voiding
Carrier eligibility rules – stop a carrier being offered when an item exceeds its weight or dimension limits
Product tag overrides – force or exclude a specific carrier per product, using ordinary WooCommerce product tags
Cheapest-only or all-carriers display mode
Carrier and rules management directly inside WooCommerce admin – no separate app needed
100 checkout quotes per month
5-minute rate caching for performance

Pro plan adds

Unlimited carriers (the free plan supports one)
Unlimited checkout quotes
Surcharges – add charges such as tail lift or hand unload, with rules that trigger them automatically by weight, length or every consignment
Freight margin – add a percentage or flat amount on top of the carrier rate to cover handling
PDF rate cards – convert them to CSV with the Rate Card Converter at shippingiq.com.au, then upload the CSV here (the plugin itself accepts CSV and Excel on every plan)
