GoodToKnow

Good to know:

  • *The amount that your customer pays for shipping at checkout must be precalculated, since the rates on uAfrica only get calculated after the order has been placed.
  • If you would like to set up these rates that your customers see at checkout, you can set it up on your WooCommerce admin.
  • Real-time shipping rates for the customer at check-out are not supported by this integration.
  • uAfrica Shipping Zones are not supported on WooCommerce.
  • If your WooCommerce store is your secondary channel, uAfrica will capture the order and that order will be recreated on your primary channel. No further actions will occur.
  • If WooCommerce is your primary channel, you can set up a secondary channel to push your products to.
