WooCommerce

Dear WooCommerce Team,

I want to suggest a feature that I believe would greatly enhance WooCommerce’s competitive edge: native integration of live shipping rates at checkout. Many eCommerce platforms like Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix offer this functionality out of the box, and its absence in WooCommerce makes it harder to “sell” prospective clients on your otherwise powerful platform.

Currently, setting up live rates with carriers such as UPS, USPS, and FedEx can be complex, costly, and time-consuming, often requiring individual plugins for each carrier. For business owners, shipping is one of the most challenging aspects of running an online store, and a simplified, integrated approach would make a significant difference.

While I appreciate WooCommerce’s flexibility and customizability, providing a native, streamlined solution for shipping would make the platform more accessible and appealing, especially to small business owners who want a user-friendly setup. It would also help designers and developers like myself deliver a better experience for our clients.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to seeing WooCommerce continue to grow and evolve.
