VibeFox NZ Post for WooCommerce

Overview

VibeFox NZ Post adds NZ Post as a shipping method to WooCommerce for stores that send parcels from New Zealand. Customers see NZ Post in the cart and at checkout with a live NZ Post rate for their address and parcel, or with your fixed price per country and weight.

It suits New Zealand shops that ship within the country (CourierPost and ParcelPost services) and abroad. The plugin calculates shipping rates at checkout. It does not create shipping labels, book pickups, track parcels or let customers choose a pick-up point, PO Box or parcel locker.

Key features

Live NZ Post rates: domestic and international prices from the NZ Post ShippingOptions API 2.0. The cheapest service NZ Post returns is used, or only the service codes you list. Surcharges and mandatory add-ons such as rural delivery are included.

Contract rates: with your NZ Post business account number, international requests return your account rates.

Fixed prices as the fallback: a price per country with optional weight columns (up to 1, 2, 3, 5 kg and over 5 kg), per order or per item, plus a fallback cost. Used when live rates are not set up or NZ Post gives no rate.

NZD and GST handling: NZ Post prices in NZD are converted to your store currency with your rate. Domestic prices can be taken including or excluding 15% GST, so tax is not charged twice.

Correct parcel size: weights and dimensions are converted from your store units to kg and cm. Default weight and parcel size are used for products without them.

Fast checkout: rates are cached for 1 hour and failed requests for 10 minutes. The access token is cached and renewed automatically. API errors never reach the customer.

Shipping rules: minimum and maximum cart weight, minimum order amount, excluded shipping classes, free shipping from an order amount, tax status.

Modern WooCommerce: shipping zones or a list of countries, classic checkout, Cart and Checkout blocks, HPOS. The priced NZ Post service is saved with the order.
