Shippo is coming to FluentCart: live shipping rates and labels

Year one was about getting the core right. Payments, tax, multi-currency, migrators, builders. 44 releases.

Year two has a clear focus: make FluentCart the best way to run a physical store on WordPress, and give you more built-in tools to sell more.

The first piece is almost ready. We’re bringing Shippo to FluentCart, our first live shipping integration, launching soon as a beta.

What it does

Live carrier rates at checkout: USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, Royal Mail, Canada Post, Australia Post and more
Your customers pick their carrier
Buy labels from the order screen, with your preferred carrier or the cheapest rate already selected
Your own methods stay: flat rate and local pickup work like they do today
Shipping status hooks for developers and agencies

To make room for it, we rebuilt the shipping module. That also brings split shipments and shipping rates in multiple currencies.

Why Shippo first? It has a proper test mode, so we can run the full loop (quote, buy a label, check, repeat) without spending real postage. And US stores get discounted USPS, UPS, and FedEx rates from day one.

What’s next: more shipping integrations, built-in marketing tools to help you sell more, and more design options. I’ll share each one here as it lands.

More cooking! fast!!

Woohoo! This is awesome. I've been waiting for the integrated shipping rates and label printing to migrate from Woo. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Once this functionality is available, I'll await a native option to add affiliate products using external URLs. 😉 I know a few third-party plugins can already add that functionality, but one of the main reasons I want to get away from Woo is needing so many paid add-ons to get it where it needs to be, and it seems a simple enough function to develop and not a major technical feat.
