About this plugin
Stop printing labels one by one. Start shipping on autopilot.
Most WooCommerce shipping plugins stop at checkout rates. Your fulfillment team is still doing everything manually — opening orders, choosing carriers, printing labels one at a time, and chasing tracking numbers. That’s 2–4 hours of daily grunt work that doesn’t need to exist.
This plugin automates every step after the order is placed. Carriers are selected by rule. Labels are generated in batch.
Returns are created in one click. Tracking is sent automatically. Analytics show exactly what you’re spending and where.
Built for WooCommerce stores shipping 20–1,000+ orders daily. Powered by EasyPost.
Why Stores Switch to This Plugin
Before: Open order → pick carrier → buy label → download → print → repeat × 50 orders = 2 hours lost.
After: Click “Generate Labels” → 50 labels print → orders update automatically = 3 minutes.
That’s the difference between a shipping plugin and a fulfillment automation platform.
Core Modules
AutoShip — Rules-Based Fulfillment Automation
Set rules once. Ship forever without touching an order. AutoShip selects the right carrier, service, and box size automatically based on product, category, weight, or volume.
Trigger label generation on any order status change. Orders auto-complete on delivery via EasyPost webhooks. Zero human intervention required for your standard fulfillment flow.
Batch Print — Bulk Label Generation
Generate labels for 50, 100, or 500 orders in one click. Load orders by date range or paste a list of IDs. A real-time progress tracker shows each order’s result — generated, skipped, or flagged.
Already-labelled orders are skipped automatically. What used to take 2 hours takes under 3 minutes.
Easy Returns — One-Click Return Labels
Generate a prepaid return label from any shipped order without re-entering addresses. Fetch live return rates from all available carriers and pick the right service before generating. Addresses are swapped automatically — customer becomes the sender, your store becomes the recipient.
Email the return label to the customer in the same action.
Smart Packing Engine
Automatically selects the best box for every order using 3D bin packing, volume-based, or weight-based methods. Large orders split across multiple packages automatically — each gets its own label and tracking number. Eliminates dimensional weight penalties and overpacking fees without any manual box selection.
Live Rates at Checkout
Real carrier rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, OnTrac, and 100+ carriers — fetched live at checkout via EasyPost. Add markup or discounts per service. Mix with flat rates or use live rates on their own.
Show delivery estimates. Limit rate count per zone.
Address Validation
Real-time address verification at checkout via EasyPost. Detects and corrects ZIP/state mismatches before orders ship. Optional strict mode blocks checkout on confirmed undeliverable addresses.
Runs asynchronously — zero impact on checkout speed. Reduces delivery failures, wasted carrier fees, and support tickets by up to 85%.
Ship Insights — Shipping Analytics
Full shipment history with carrier, service, cost, and tracking per label. Filter by date range or carrier. Trend charts show label volume and spend over time.
Carrier mix breakdown. Cost-per-order averages. Compare current period vs.
previous. CSV export for accounting or reporting. Paginated for stores with thousands of shipments.
Shipment Insurance
Add carrier insurance at label purchase time. Insured value is set automatically as the full order total or a configured percentage. Optionally let customers opt in at checkout.
Carrier Pickup Scheduling
Schedule pickups for USPS, DHL, OnTrac, and other supported carriers directly from WordPress. Batch-schedule for multiple orders. Cancel or reschedule without leaving the admin.
Tracking & Notifications
Tracking numbers are injected into order completion emails automatically. Live status refresh from the order page. EasyPost webhooks auto-complete orders on delivery.
Customers get real tracking links — not generic carrier search pages.
Label Management
Every label ever generated is stored and searchable in one place. Download or reprint any label instantly. View return labels alongside outbound labels.
Filter by date, carrier, or order. All label URLs stored in the database — no slow meta queries.
