How it works
After downloading and installing one of our innovative plugins, the magic starts to happen and customers can calculate shipping costs before making a purchase.
In the checkout, customers can enter their postcode and get a delivery quote instantly… without ever having to leave your site.
When payment is confirmed, Transdirect makes an automatic delivery booking and emails you a consignment note. Just print the note, secure it to the package, and our driver will pick it up on the next available run.
Sounds like three less jobs for you to do!
Shopify

Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms worldwide. Over 600,000 business owners use the platform to run their store, plus there are over a million active users, and over $55 billion sold via Shopify internationally.
Our Shopify plugin bridges the gap between your online store and your Transdirect account. You can save time entering shipping details and gain more time to focus on the important things.
The major advantages of installing the Shopify plugin include:
- Default package sizes: enter default dimensions for everyday use, or input custom dimensions as needed
- Data syncing: your store connects directly to our online shopping system which allows your customers’ shipping data to sync with the Transdirect Member’s Area once they’ve checked out
- Flexible quote displays: choose which quotes your customers see – for example, you can display all quotes, display only the single cheapest quote, or display the cheapest and fastest quotes available
- Add extra charges: add any surcharge you’d like either as a fixed dollar amount or as a percentage of the total sale
- Carrier exclusion: exclude courier companies from quoting so your customers only see quotes from your approved carriers
The Transdirect Shopify plugin connects your customers to our network of couriers, allowing them to access the best value shipping without having to spend hours researching the answers.
The best part? It’s free to download. Head over to our Developer’s Centre to learn more and download your new plugin.
eBay
There are 25 million sellers slinging their goods all over the world through eBay. If you want to keep up with these sellers and reach even one of the 170 million buyers scrolling through the platform, you need to offer fast, affordable shipping…
…You also need to ensure cheap shipping isn’t taking a bite out of your revenue.
With our upgraded eBay Postage Calculator, you can add additional packaging, warehouse, handling, insurance and administration costs to all your shipping quotes while maintaining a seamless customer experience.
Our eBay plugins also allow you to:
- Data sync: export all your booking information from your eBay store into your Transdirect account for a speedy booking
- Add extra charges: add handling and administration surcharges to your eBay shipments with Transdirect’s updated eBay postage calculator
- Carrier exclusion: once your booking data has been synced from eBay to your Transdirect Members’ area, you are free to select from any of our range of carriers

WooCommerce
WooCommerce powers a whopping 28% of all online stores, integrated with the simple (but effective) blog software of WordPress.
The ecommerce platform might be easy to use, but managing a stream of orders and getting packages shipped sure ain’t.
We offer a free ecommerce plugin which automates your shipping process and provides a seamless customer experience with the fully integrated WooCommerce plugin that does all the work for you.
- Default package sizes: set your most common package size as the default option, then simply add custom package sizes as required
- Data sync: automatically upload order data to your Transdirect Members’ area when your customer completes the checkout on your website
- Flexible quote displays: choose to display all available shipping quotes to your customer, or restrict the displayed quotes to the fastest and/or cheapest single option
- Add extra charges: apply custom insurance surcharges and general surcharges to cover your handling and administration costs
- Carrier exclusion: exclude selected courier companies from quoting, and rename courier companies to display simply as ‘road courier’ or ‘air express’
