Freightview for WooCommerce

Your company has an online store using WooCommerce on WordPress. When a customer is figuring out the price for their order, wouldn’t it be nice to give them the complete picture by showing them how much you’ll charge for freight? By using Freightview for WooCommerce, you can pull your own carrier and broker rates and display them for your customers while they’re shopping or checking out. You decide whether to show them the least expensive option or let them choose between different service levels and transit times.

• Let the store owner decide if customers can select accessorials or to just rate everything with defaults they select
• Added a minimum weight setting that controls the minimum weight where Freightview is available as a shipping option
• Made it so that Freightview doesn’t appear as a shipping option anytime a product’s Shipping Class doesn’t match one of our Shipping Classes. We do make ourselves available if a customer just hasn’t selected a Shipping Class.
• Use the rate.id that we return as part of the id for the rate in WooCommerce. Previously rates were using quote numbers and some rates didn’t have quote numbers and some rates had the same quote number and it worked just as terribly as you’d imagine.
• Changed how we rate multiple products. Now, if you add 4 of the same product to your cart, we rate that as 1 item, with 4 pieces (n), and we make the weight be n * weight.
• Adds a custom order action that can open a new tab to the URL of the shipment inside Freightview
• Lots of re-naming to things so the code makes more sense.
