I’ve been using the R8Connect plugin to handle freight shipping rates in my WooCommerce store. The integration with the R8Connect API works as expected, and it makes rate calculations much easier compared to doing things manually.



What I like:




Real-time freight rates pulled directly from the API.



Ability to add markup (percentage or flat).



Straightforward setup in WooCommerce shipping zones.




Things that could be improved:




More customization options in the admin (like descriptions for customers at checkout).



Better documentation for first-time users.




Overall, it’s a solid plugin if you need freight shipping calculations in WooCommerce. With a few refinements, it could easily be a 5-star plugin.
