ShippingIQ connects your WooCommerce store to your actual carrier contracts. Instead of guessing at freight costs or using generic rate tables, ShippingIQ uploads your real rate cards and calculates the correct price at checkout every time.
How it works
- Sign up at shippingiq.com.au
- Upload your carrier rate cards (CSV, Excel, or PDF — any format)
- Install this plugin and enter your Merchant ID
- Your contracted rates appear at checkout automatically
What makes ShippingIQ different
Most shipping plugins use their own carrier accounts and add a margin. ShippingIQ uses your contracted rates — so your customers see exactly what you negotiated with your carrier, with no hidden markup unless you choose to add one.
Supported carriers
Any Australian carrier. ShippingIQ’s AI parser handles any rate card format — Allied Express, Mainfreight, StarTrack, Hunter Express, and more. If your carrier gives you a rate card, ShippingIQ can use it.
