常見問題
-
I installed the plugin but rates are not showing up
-
- Make sure you’ve entered your API key here: YOURWEBSITE/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-rlc-settings
- Make sure you’ve added weight, dimensions and shipping class to each product. If you do not know the shipping class of a product, please contact the rates department – Contact R+L Rates Department. The plugin cannot get rates without the weight, dimensions and shipping class.
- Make sure you’ve set a shipping zone with the R+L Carriers shipping method. Click here to learn more about [setting up shipping zones in WooCommerce] (https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-shipping-zones/)
- In the Woocommerce Zone Shipping Method setting for R+L Carriers ex: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=shipping&zone_id=1, you must enter an origin address. i.e. The location from which the items will be shipped.
- In the main R+L Shipping settings ex: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-rlc-settings, check the box to turn on Debug Mode. Add items to the cart and any errors encountered while getting rate quote will be displayed.
-
Can the plugin be expanded to offer additional features like Shipment Tracing?
-
No. This plugin is offered without additional feature capabilities. However, R+L does offer our Shipping Platform which includes a host of other features like BOL generation, Pickup Request Scheduling, Hazmat and Freight Classification support, Shipment Tracing, Pickup Notifications and more. You learn more, here.
-
Does the plugin require WooCommerce to work?
-
Yes. This plugin is a WooCommerce plugin, specifically, and it requires that platform to function.
-
Does the plugin support other freight carriers other than R+L?
-
Currently, our plugin does not provide for additional carriers.
-
Does the plugin support shipping from multiple origin locations?
-
No. All rate quotes will use a single origin zip code that is set in the woocommerce shipping settings.
-
Can I set individual products to be shipped on different pallet types?
-
No. Pallet type is a global setting that will apply to all products equally.
-
Does this plugin support Canadian shipments?
-
Partially. R+L will only provide a rate quote for shipments that have either their origin or destination in the U.S. If your origin city is in Canada then you will need to restrict the shipping zone to U.S. destinations only. Domestic Canadian shipments are not currently supported.
