WooCommerce ShipStation 5.1.0: the shipping method customers pick at checkout now flows straight to ShipStation

The shipping option your customer chooses at checkout now carries through to ShipStation automatically, so the label you print matches the service they paid for. This release also adds an opt-in WordPress.com connection setting and steadier authentication behind the scenes.

When a shopper picks a shipping option at checkout, WooCommerce ShipStation now remembers that choice and sends it to ShipStation as the order’s planned shipping method. The label you create matches the service the customer actually paid for — no more cross-checking each order by hand to work out how it should ship. This helps most if you offer live carrier rates at checkout, where the chosen service used to get lost before it reached fulfillment.

This release also gives you more control over how your store connects to WordPress.com. A new setting lets you opt in to that connection rather than having it on by default. Behind the scenes, ShipStation now authenticates more reliably, so the connection is steadier and easier to support.

How to get it

Update WooCommerce ShipStation to 5.1.0 from your WooCommerce dashboard. The checkout rate pass-through and connection improvements apply automatically — no setup required.
