Implementing the
blueprints

03. Bottlenecks Along the Way
Learning
from adversity
Problem
Integrating ClickShip into the WooCommerce website posed a challenge due to the complexity of connecting the shipping rates API with the client's specific product dimensions and shipping zones.
Solution
But we overcame it by developing a custom plugin that fetched real-time shipping rates from ClickShip API based on the product weight, dimensions, and destination. The plugin dynamically displayed accurate shipping rates during the checkout process, ensuring transparency and convenience for the customer while simplifying the shipping management for the client.
