Feature Request: Shipping Integration for UPS, Canada Post & FedEx

Post by trisha »

Hi Phoca Team,
Thank you for your great work on Phoca Cart.
I have a feature request for Phoca Cart.
It would be very helpful if shipping plugins could be added for the following carriers:

UPS

Canada Post

FedEx

These are widely-used shipping providers, and having official plugins for them would greatly improve shipping options and flexibility for many users.

If possible, please consider adding these integrations in a future update.
Thank you for all your hard work on Phoca Cart!
Moh

Hi, can you describe the methods in more details. What functions do these methods have which cannot be done directly in Phoca Cart.

Mostly there are two functions which cannot be done in core:

- widget with map for selecting the branches where the shipment will be sent
- and export function

Thank you, Jan

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your reply.

What I mainly meant by UPS, Canada Post, and FedEx integrations is live carrier functionality, such as real-time rate calculation based on destination, weight, and dimensions, service selection (Ground, Express, etc.), shipment export/label creation, and tracking numbers. These features rely on carrier APIs and are difficult to implement with core rule-based shipping.

Additionally, it would be very helpful if current shipping methods could support simple calculated pricing options, for example:

Fixed price + (weight × price per kg)

Fixed price + (product quantity × price)

Examples:

Fixed + (each 1 kg × $2)

Fixed + (quantity × $2)

Most e-commerce platforms (e.g. WooCommerce) already provide these shipping options and carrier plugins, so having similar functionality in Phoca Cart would greatly improve flexibility.

Thank you for considering these improvements and for your work on Phoca Cart.

Best regards,
Moh
