Plugin Setup
- In your WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Transdirect.
- Enter your API Key (provided by Transdirect) and any other plugin-level options. These apply across every shipping zone.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping zones and open the Australia zone (or create one).
- Click "Add shipping method" and select "Transdirect Shipping".
- The new shipping method has no per-zone settings — it simply enables Transdirect quotes for that zone using the global API key.
- Optional plugin-level settings:
- Enable Debug Mode to log Quotes, Order syncs and Product syncs.
- Enable the Residential / Commercial selector to give customers a choice in the cart and set the default.
- Adjust the Quote API Timeout.
- To test shipping quotes:
- Add a product to the cart.
- Use the built-in WooCommerce Shipping Calculator.
- Enter Country, Suburb, and Postcode, then click Calculate Shipping.
- Transdirect quotes will be displayed; select one to proceed.
- On the Checkout page, quotes will appear once a valid address is entered.
- If Order Sync is enabled in your Transdirect account, new orders will be automatically synced.
