Central do Frete

Central do Frete sits between your store and the carriers. We select carriers on real performance – delivery time, damage rate and support – not on who pays to be listed, and we stay on the shipment after it leaves: the carrier moves your cargo, we are the ones who follow it and chase the carrier when something goes wrong.

This plugin brings that into the WooCommerce checkout. The shopper sees prices and delivery estimates from the carriers your account already has, in a single request, and you do not set up carrier by carrier.

A Central do Frete account is required. The plugin does not calculate freight on its own. It queries the service using your account access token.

Features

• Offer freight in the cart and at checkout, from carriers rated on real performance
• Shipping calculator on the product page, before the item is added to the cart
• Cargo type per product, or a single default for the whole store
• Shipping class restriction, so you choose which classes Central do Frete serves
• Display control: all carriers, the three cheapest, or only the cheapest and the fastest
• Extra handling days and a handling fee added on top of the quoted price
• Default dimensions for products with no weight or measurements
• Quote caching to reduce calls to the service
• Compatible with HPOS, the classic checkout and the block checkout

External service

This plugin depends on the Central do Frete service and sends data to the API at https://api.centraldofrete.com every time a quote is calculated. The plugin does not work without it.

Data sent on each quote:

• The destination postcode entered by the shopper, and the store postcode as the origin. A store with no postcode of its own sends no origin, and the quote then leaves from the pickup address registered in your Central do Frete account
• Weight, height, width, length and quantity of the cart volumes
