Furthermore, the plugin offers the ability to customize the shipping rate display interface and choose between different shipping options, such as standard shipping, priority shipping, express shipping and other options.

This Canada Post shipping plugin for WooCommerce offers integration with Canada Post and your WooCommerce website. It can provide customers with real-time shipping rates directly in their shopping cart and at checkout. It also provides up-to-date shipping information from Canada Post's parcel tracking service. This plugin is fully bilingual in English and French and is compatible with WPML, a multilingual plugin for WordPress. You can create Canada Post shipping PDF labels on Woocommerce orders. It can be used to ship in or out of Canada.

Creation of shipping labels
With this plugin you can create Canada Post shipping labels. PDF labels can be generated on Woocommerce orders and subsequently printed and shipped on the package. The tracking number is automatically added to the order in the parcel tracking service of this plugin. Shipping labels can be generated for both Non-Contract customers (i.e. small business / Venture one) and Contract customers who do not need a Manifest.

Parcel tracking service
Package tracking is available when you enter your PIN (Package Identification Number) or Tracking Number in your customer's order details. This plugin will automatically look for the latest and most updated information about your order from Canada Post when you view your order. You can set up an automatic email notification to be sent to your customer when the package is shipped or delivered. Tracking information can be set up to allow your customer to receive updated information about their order either as an email notification and/or on the customer's order page.

Real-time shipping rates in your cart
This shipping plugin uses product weight and dimensions to calculate the most accurate shipping rates. Product weight is required for the rates to work, but dimensions are optional. The shipping cost can be calculated with boxes, if configured. If you wish, there is an option to add a markup fee to the shipping costs. You can choose which Canada Post services you wish to offer your customer (i.e., regular mail, Xpresspost, Express, etc.). An option is also available to add additional handling time if needed. Postage will be calculated and displayed using current, real-time rates directly from Canada Post. In addition, there is an additional feature that gives you the ability to configure Lettermail; which gives you the ability to set a fixed rate for regular mail items that are small enough to be delivered by Canada Post letter mail in Canada or the United States. In addition, this feature can be configured for fixed-rate mailing for sales or promotions.

Multilingual / Bilingual
Canada Post shipping rates and information may be shown in English or French. This is set by your WordPress site language or WPML language selection. The plugin includes a language file for French (fr_FR), which provides full French translation for all admin screens and labels. Note: Communication and supporting documentation are currently in English only.

Several shipping branches
Define how many shipping points are needed for rate searches and shipments. Use geolocation when determining the closest shipping point to your destination zip code. This selection is saved with the Woocommerce order.
