Installation

You install the plugin from WordPress, create a WooCommerce API key in the Transdirect members area, paste it into the plugin, and add Transdirect Shipping to a shipping zone. You need a Transdirect account first: sign up free.

Install the plugin

Section titled “Install the plugin”

  1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New.

  2. Search for Transdirect Shipping.

  3. Click Install Now, then Activate.

The plugin is also listed at wordpress.org/plugins/transdirect-shipping. WooCommerce 7.1 or later must be installed and active.

Create your API key

Section titled “Create your API key”

  1. Log in to the members area and go to Settings > Integrations.

  2. On the WooCommerce card, click Connect. If you already have a WooCommerce store connected, click Add another store instead.

  3. Enter your store’s address in Store URL, for example https://www.yourstore.com.au.

  4. Tick the box to agree to Transdirect’s Terms and Conditions and the Transit Warranty Terms, Conditions and Exclusions, then click Connect.

  5. Your store appears in the list with its API key. Click the copy button next to the key.

This key belongs to your WooCommerce store. Use a separate Custom API key if you also build your own integration.

Connect the plugin

Section titled “Connect the plugin”

  1. In WordPress, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and click Transdirect Shipping.

  2. Paste the key into API key and click Save changes. The plugin checks the key when you save and shows a notice if Transdirect does not accept it.

  3. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping zones and open your Australia zone, or create one.

  4. Click Add shipping method, choose Transdirect Shipping, and save.

Transdirect rates appear at checkout only for addresses in a zone that has the Transdirect Shipping method. The API key and the other plugin settings apply to every zone.

To check the connection, add a product to your cart and enter an Australian delivery address. You should see Transdirect rates.

Transdirect never asks for your WooCommerce Consumer Key or Consumer Secret. The Transdirect API key is the only credential the plugin uses.
