Using the WooCommerce Plugin

Our WooCommerce plugin can be installed on any WooCommerce Wordpress site. It provides two basic functions: rating customer shipments and producing waybills.

Setting up the Plugin

This section will explain how the plugin is installed. At this time it is provided as a file that the site operator must manually upload in to their site.

Uploading the Plugin

The plugin is provided as a .zip file which you can e-mail to the site operator.

Go to the WordPress Administration site and find the Plugins section on the left menu.

From here click on Add New and then find and click on the Upload Plugin button

Find the upload section and click Choose File to select the plugin .zip. Then click Install Now

After clicking Install Now you should see the installation process complete with this message

Now click Activate Plugin

Confirm the plugin is active by looking for it in the installed plugin list. Note that the plugin name may vary according to your branding agreement:

To configure the plugin find the WooCommerce section on the left menu and go to Settings

In the WooCommerce settings page click Shipping

You will find a sub-menu with the shipping plugin listed. Click on it to open the configuration page

You can now configure your plugin

Plugin Configuration

The plugin configuration page has various settings

Shipment Rating

When the plugin is active, customers will see one or more shipping choices after they have entered their shipping address.

If more than one choice is available, the customer must select which service they wish to use. When the shipping address is changed, WooCommerce sends a request to the system for pricing and this in turn consults the carriers. As a result this process can take a little time - typically between 5 and 10 seconds.

Managing Orders

When an order is received it will appear in the WooCommerce orders page. Viewing an order will result in a page similar to the one below.

Creating a Shipping Label

To print a label, in the Order actions section click the Choose an action dropdown and select Create Shipping Label

This will result in the shipment data being submitted to Noviship and a label will be requested. This is only possible if the shipment was rated for the customer and they chose a shipping method.

Updating the Plugin

To update the plugin to a new version, the existing plugin must first be de-activated and removed.

Find the plugin in the list and click Deactivate.

Then click Delete

Confirm it was deleted

And you can then install the new file by starting at the beginning of this tutorial.
