Freight & LTL Shipping for Saleor
Web Shop Manager's custom freight and LTL integration on Saleor: TForce Freight, FreightCom, and UPS Air Freight for heavy and oversized orders, built on Saleor's shipping webhook framework and operated for you.
Freight and LTL shipping, built and operated by Web Shop Manager
Some orders do not fit in a parcel. Heavy, bulky, and oversized items ship by freight, and pricing them correctly means quoting against less-than-truckload (LTL) and freight carriers rather than a parcel rate table. Web Shop Manager provides a freight and LTL shipping integration on Saleor, built as a custom integration on Saleor’s synchronous shipping webhook framework and operated for you as part of your store.
Saleor’s SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_CHECKOUT synchronous webhook lets external apps return freight and LTL rates at checkout in real time. For stores that sell large or heavy products, this custom integration is the difference between turning those orders away and selling them with confidence that the freight cost is right.
What does the freight and LTL integration include?
- TForce Freight: LTL freight rating and shipping for heavy and oversized orders.
- FreightCom: multi-carrier freight rating, broadening the LTL options available at checkout.
- UPS Air Freight: expedited air freight for time-sensitive heavy shipments.
- Built for oversized orders: the integration handles the freight side of the catalog so large items are priced and shipped correctly, not forced into parcel rules.
Does Saleor have a freight or LTL shipping app?
No. Saleor’s open-source platform ships no freight or LTL app. There is nothing in the Saleor app catalog for TForce Freight, FreightCom, UPS Air Freight, or any other freight carrier, so a self-hosted Saleor store that sells heavy or oversized goods would have to build and maintain that integration itself.
Web Shop Manager built a custom freight and LTL rate integration on Saleor’s SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_CHECKOUT synchronous webhook framework. We deploy it, configure your freight carrier accounts, keep it current, and support it as part of running your commerce on Saleor.
No native Saleor freight app vs. WSM-operated Freight & LTL integration
| Self-built freight integration on Saleor | WSM-operated Freight & LTL integration |
|---|---|
| No native Saleor freight/LTL app to install | Custom WSM-built integration already exists |
| You build against Saleor’s shipping webhook framework | Built, deployed, and operated by WSM |
| You connect TForce, FreightCom, UPS Air Freight, or other carriers yourself | WSM configures supported freight carrier accounts |
| You handle rating logic for oversized and heavy items | WSM supports freight workflows for heavy, bulky, and oversized orders |
| Good only for teams with internal Saleor/shipping API resources | Practical path for merchants that need freight rating without owning the build |
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 freight carrier accounts, keep it current, and support it as part of running your Headless / API-First Commerce environment. Freight rating sits alongside parcel rates from our Carrier Rates Integration and connects through to the Order Fulfillment Sync once an order ships. It runs on the Operational Integrations & Automation layer, with the same attention to Security, Reliability & Platform Trust and Catalog Management at Scale that the rest of your stack gets. See the Saleor Integrations hub for the full catalog. To discuss how freight and LTL fits into your Saleor architecture, request a Saleor Architecture Review.
Frequently asked questions
Practical questions about Freight & LTL Shipping for Saleor.
TForce Freight and FreightCom for less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, plus UPS Air Freight for expedited heavy shipments. These cover the heavy and oversized orders that do not fit standard parcel shipping.
No. Saleor ships no freight or LTL app. The platform provides a SHIPPING_LIST_METHODS_FOR_CHECKOUT synchronous webhook framework that custom integrations use to return rates at checkout, but the freight-specific carrier integration is custom work. Web Shop Manager built it on that framework and operates it for you.
Heavy, bulky, and oversized items ship by freight, not parcel, and parcel rate tables cannot price them correctly. A freight and LTL integration quotes those orders against the right carriers so the cost is accurate and you can sell large products without turning the orders away.
No. Web Shop Manager deploys the integration, configures your freight carrier accounts, keeps it current, and supports it as part of operating your commerce on Saleor.
