Overview
Royal Mail does not provide a public API, so calculating its shipping charges can require extra work for store owners. This plugin uses built-in logic and pricing data to show Royal Mail rates at checkout without relying on a third-party API. It supports domestic UK and international services, giving customers delivery choices suited to their destination.
Shipping costs are calculated using product weight and dimensions, with options to pack items individually or use the built-in box packer. Store owners can customize service names and add handling fees or surcharges. The plugin also supports printing labels and tracking packages from the WooCommerce dashboard, keeping key shipping tasks within the store.
