USPS Simple Shipping 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 · 71% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Functional and quick alternative to people who don’t want to pay very inflated subscription prices for the official WooCommerce USPS shipping plugin. Enable the “commercial” rates setting for the in-store rates. Bravo Dan!

   The price my customers were charged by the plugin is not the same price that is charged went I take the item to the United States postal service office which has caused me to lose money. The most recent item purchased by a customer at my store, the plugin added $47.65 for shipping but then went I actually brought the item to the nearest USPS, I was charged $112.00 for shipping (and my measurements and weight input using Woocommerce were accurate). That was very upsetting! This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by maxcollector. This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by maxcollector.

   It’s nice when things are simple, but can be frustrating when too simple. This plugin is great for stores that sell products that all ship in the same basic class, ie, priority, first class, and there isn’t a mix of restricted class items like media or library rate items. There is no way to select a single or range of shipping method/rate per class. For example, media mail is a restricted class limited to only certain items, like books or DVDs, but if you also sell cameras or t-shirts, you can’t restrict those products from being offered media mail as a shipping option – and a customer will choose that rate because it’s the lowest, and it will be an invalid shipping method for that product. The only option for media mail items, if you have mixed products in your store, is to disable media mail as a shipping option altogether. This is a disservice to customers and to store owners who would prefer this method for qualified products. I don’t know how difficult it would be to add that capability. This is a very easy plugin to set up and for stores with simple inventory and only shipping in the U.S. I think it would work wonders. But, if you have a store with a mix of product types, this one may not work for you. This topic was modified 4 years, 5 months ago by blueplanetphoto.

   I have ground option enabled, but for the life of me I cannot get it to show up as a label option.

   I’ve been fighting this app for days! UPS works on another app, but this one isn’t getting the zip code origin for some reason, even though it’s there! This topic was modified 4 years, 8 months ago by lonepinetechnology. Reason: adding tags
