Shipping Live Rates for USPS for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 46% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I had an excellent experience with the USPS Live Rates PRO plugin and, more importantly, with their support team. I encountered a shipping issue that I couldn’t resolve on my own for days, but their team quickly identified the root cause and provided a clear and effective solution. The support was fast, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. The plugin itself works reliably and offers the flexibility I needed for my WooCommerce store, especially for handling multiple international shipping zones. I’m very happy with my decision to upgrade to the PRO version—it was absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

   I was experiencing an issue where the shipping cost was not being calculated correctly. I contacted their support team through the form on their website, and their support agent, Piotrek Bodera, reached out to me via email. He was extremely kind and professional. He answered all my queries and successfully resolved my shipping issue. The problem was that I had enabled the insurance checkbox for international shipping, which was causing an API error. USPS does not allow that insurance option for international shipments, so the API returned an error: “One or more extra services are not available for international pieces in this price group.” After disabling the insurance option, everything started working perfectly. Thanks to Piotrek Bodera! Their support is truly top-notch.

   Love this plugin and the support is stellar. Their latest version even parses nonstandard length fee SKUs from the USPS API, don’t know any other plugin that does that, and for us that’s a must have. Great plugin and great support!

   Wow! Wow! and Wow!! Jakub at Octolize has an exceptional level of expertise when it comes to WordPress!  His shipping plugin is awesome!! It gives me accurate and shipping prices. I was having a hard time with the change in the API with the USPS and Jakub helped me tremendously!  His knowledge of the subject is deep, precise, and immediately evident in the way he diagnosed and resolved issues. What truly sets him apart, however, is his absolutely stunning customer service. He is responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping their customers succeed.  He not only walked me through the problem, but he also took the time to look at the backend of how I set up the USPS and found the error!!  He went above and beyond what he needed to do to make sure this plugin worked with the changes of API in USPS. Octolize not only identified the root of the problem quickly, but also resolved it efficiently and thoroughly. The relief and gratitude cannot be overstated. I genuinely couldn’t have solved this without his help. I truly cannot say enough about Octolize!  Their professionalism, technical skill, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them an invaluable partner for anyone working with WordPress.  Don’t think about using any other plugin!   I recommend Octolize without hesitation!  How many stars?  1000 out of5!! Thanks a million, Jakub and Octolize!!

   I always am prepared for some plugins to be a little glitchy at first, but Shipping Live Rates for USPS for WooCommerce worked perfectly after installation. There are ample setup options to fine tune it to my specifications and easy to change if I need to tweak them a little. It’s really great having the exact shipping costs, because these turned out to be a lot less than the flat rate costs.

   Woocommerce store owner and sysadmin with many years of experience in both, could not figure out how to get this plugin to work. Documentation they provide on getting a USPS api key is totally incorrect, but I figured out how to anyways. But the plugin was another story. This plugin seems like it could be awesome, but it isn’t.
