Live Carrier Rates for Saleor
Web Shop Manager hardened Saleor's community carrier-rate example into a production FedEx, UPS, and USPS integration: live rates returned at checkout from the shopper's cart and destination, operated for you.
Real-time FedEx, UPS, and USPS rates, built and operated by Web Shop Manager
Showing shoppers the real cost to ship their order, calculated live from the carrier at checkout, is one of the most direct ways to cut cart abandonment and protect your margin. Web Shop Manager provides real-time parcel rating for FedEx, UPS, and USPS on Saleor, built on the same synchronous shipping webhook framework that powers Saleor’s own published carrier-rate example app, and operated for you as part of your store.
Saleor’s SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_CHECKOUT and SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_ORDER synchronous webhooks let external apps return carrier rates at checkout in real time. Saleor also publishes a ShipStation-based carrier-rate example app that demonstrates exactly this pattern. Web Shop Manager hardened and improved that community example into a production integration for FedEx, UPS, and USPS, so the shipping cost your shoppers see reflects what it actually costs to ship rather than a flat guess that scares buyers off or quietly eats your margin.
What does live carrier rating on Saleor include?
- FedEx live rates: real-time FedEx parcel rates returned at checkout for the shopper’s cart and destination.
- UPS live rates: real-time UPS parcel rates, surfaced alongside the other carriers so shoppers can choose.
- USPS live rates: real-time USPS parcel rates, including the lower-cost options shoppers expect for smaller and lighter packages.
- Rate-at-checkout: rates are calculated from the live cart and ship-to address, not estimated from a static table.
- Multiple options side by side: shoppers can compare carrier and service-level prices and pick what fits.
Does Saleor have a carrier-rate example or reference app?
Yes. Saleor publishes a ShipStation-based carrier-rate example app that demonstrates how to use the SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_CHECKOUT and SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_ORDER synchronous webhooks to return live carrier rates at checkout. That example is a developer reference that shows what the framework can do, not a production-ready FedEx, UPS, or USPS integration you can turn on directly.
Web Shop Manager hardened and improved that community example into a production carrier-rate integration for FedEx, UPS, and USPS. We deploy it, configure your carrier accounts, keep it current as carrier APIs change, and support it as part of running your commerce on Saleor.
Saleor carrier-rate example app vs. WSM-operated carrier-rate integration
| Saleor carrier-rate example app | WSM-operated carrier-rate integration |
|---|---|
| Developer-facing example implementation | Hardened production-grade integration |
| Demonstrates Saleor’s shipping webhook pattern | Runs live FedEx, UPS, and USPS rates in production |
| You productionize, host, secure, and patch it | WSM handles deployment, hosting, monitoring, and updates |
| You connect and maintain carrier API credentials | WSM configures your carrier accounts and keeps the integration current |
| Good as a technical starting point | Practical path for merchants who want live rates without owning the app operations |
Do I set up and maintain the carrier-rate integration myself?
No. Web Shop Manager deploys the integration, configures your FedEx, UPS, and USPS accounts, keeps it current as carrier APIs change, and supports it as part of operating your commerce on Saleor.
Operated for you
As with every integration in our Saleor catalog, you do not stand this up or maintain it yourself. We deploy it, configure your FedEx, UPS, and USPS accounts, keep it current as carrier APIs change, and support it as part of running your Headless / API-First Commerce environment. For heavier shipments we also operate a Freight & LTL Integration, and live rating connects into the Order Fulfillment workflow; see the Saleor Integrations hub for the full catalog. That includes the Operational Integrations & Automation layer that keeps shipping workflows connected to your broader stack, ongoing attention to Security, Reliability & Platform Trust, and Performance & Core Web Vitals so checkout speed does not become a conversion drag.
