Purolator Shipping Method for WooCommerce

Live Purolator shipping rates, labels, and tracking in WooCommerce

Make shipping easier for your customers and your team. Purolator Shipping Method for WooCommerce connects stores shipping from Canada to Purolator’s shipping services, so shoppers can see eligible shipping rates at checkout while your team manages labels, tracking, and shipments from WooCommerce.

• Show live Purolator rates using shipment details and the customer’s destination.
• Offer flexible shipping choices for eligible Canadian, U.S., and international deliveries.
• Create shipping labels and share tracking links through your WooCommerce order workflow.
• Control what customers pay with packing options, handling fees, shipping classes, and shipping discounts.
• Manage shipments with confidence using conditional signature rules and shipment reporting.

Make shipping costs clearer at checkout

Stop relying on a single flat fee for orders that vary in size, weight, and destination. The extension requests Purolator shipping estimates for the customer’s cart and shows the eligible services you have enabled in WooCommerce.

Customers can compare available Purolator Ground, Express, U.S., and international shipping options before completing their purchase. Services and rates depend on Purolator availability for each shipment.

Help shoppers choose a delivery option

Choose whether to display an estimated delivery date with the shipping rate. You can include your store’s handling time and customize the date format and message so shoppers have more information when choosing a service.

Customize shipping charges to fit your business

Keep the convenience of live Purolator quotes while tailoring shipping charges to your store’s products and pricing strategy.

• Flexible parcel packing: Rate items individually, use the combined weight, or configure boxes with their own weights and dimensions.
• Account-discounted rates: Request rates associated with your eligible Purolator billing account.
• Handling fees: Add a fixed fee or percentage to help cover shipping-related costs.
• Shipping-class charges: Apply charges for selected product shipping classes, per class or using the highest applicable class charge.
• Partial shipping discounts: Choose a percentage of the shipping cost for your store to cover.

Simplify labels, tracking, and everyday fulfillment

Spend less time switching between systems when fulfilling orders. Enable automatic shipment label creation for eligible Purolator orders, print labels from your WooCommerce order screens, and select regular or thermal printer formats.

When an order has a Purolator shipment, your team can access tracking information and void the shipment from WooCommerce. Customer order emails can include a Purolator tracking link, making it easier for shoppers to follow their packages.

Require signatures only when your orders need them

Some deliveries need extra care, but a blanket signature rule is not always the right fit. Advanced signature settings let you decide when a delivery signature should be requested.

• Require signatures for orders that meet a chosen value threshold.
• Apply signature requirements to selected shipping classes.
• Use destination postal-code patterns to trigger signature rules.
• Require a signature for first-time customers.
• Enable adult-signature service where applicable, and review order-level signature overrides.

Keep Purolator shipment records organized

The built-in Purolator Shipments report makes it easier to review shipments created through the extension. Search by order or tracking number, filter records by date, and export shipment data to CSV for reconciliation or internal reporting.

Review shipment dates, customers, destinations, Purolator services, tracking numbers, shipping amounts, and created or voided shipment records. For live package scans and delivery progress, use the tracking action on the order.

What you need to get started

This extension is for shipments originating in Canada. You will need a Canadian origin postal code, a Purolator account, and valid production API credentials to request live rates. A Purolator billing account number is optional for generic rates but required to request account-specific pricing.

For accurate shipping estimates, enter weights and dimensions for the physical products you ship. Add the Purolator method to the appropriate WooCommerce shipping zones, then select the services and packing options you want to offer.
