Detailed Overview

Unexpected shipping costs are the #1 reason for cart abandonment. This plugin removes that uncertainty by surfacing true shipping estimates right where buying intent is highest—the product page. Customers can enter a ZIP/postcode or rely on geolocation to instantly see available methods (e.g., Standard, Express, Local Pickup), delivery ETA notes, and final shipping charges. The calculator fully respects your WooCommerce shipping zones, method priorities, class-based rules, and third-party table rates, giving buyers accurate, trustworthy numbers every time.

Designed for performance and compatibility, the calculator uses AJAX requests and a minimal footprint so stores stay fast—even on mobile. It’s variation-aware (weight/dimensions), quantity-aware, and can default to showing the best method (cheapest/fastest) or an expandable list of all options for comparison.
