Updates are automatic. As always, back up your site before applying updates.
Plugin Setup
- In your WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Transdirect.
- Enter your API Key (provided by Transdirect) and any other plugin-level options. These apply across every shipping zone.
- Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping zones and open the Australia zone (or create one).
- Click “Add shipping method” and select “Transdirect Shipping”.
- The new shipping method has no per-zone settings — it simply enables Transdirect quotes for that zone using the global API key.

- Enable Debug Mode to log Quotes, Order syncs and Product syncs.
- Enable the Residential / Commercial selector to give customers a choice in the cart and set the default.
- Adjust the Quote API Timeout.
- To test shipping quotes:
- Add a product to the cart.
- Use the built-in WooCommerce Shipping Calculator.
- Enter Country, Suburb, and Postcode, then click Calculate Shipping.
- Transdirect quotes will be displayed; select one to proceed.
- On the Checkout page, quotes will appear once a valid address is entered.
- If Order Sync is enabled in your Transdirect account, new orders will be automatically synced.

Changelog
9.0.0
New for merchants
* Global Transdirect Shipping settings page at WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Transdirect. Configure your API key, timeout, delivery-time display, debug mode and cart options once for the whole store. Per-zone API keys are gone — one key per install.
* “Settings” link next to Transdirect Shipping on the Plugins listing page so the configuration is one click away.
* Per-product Boxes per unit field on Product → Shipping (and per variation) for products that ship as multiple cartons. Cart quantity is multiplied by this value when requesting quotes, so a 4-box set quotes as 4 packages automatically.
* API key validation on save: if Transdirect rejects the key, an admin notice tells you straight away.
* Daily refresh of the bundled Australian suburb/postcode list from Transdirect, so locality data stays current.
New for customers (opt-in)
* Suburb autocomplete at cart and checkout: type a postcode or suburb and pick from a dropdown of the actual Transdirect locality table. Fills both the postcode and city fields. Enable under the new settings page → Cart & checkout.
* Force selection from list option that rejects free-typed cities at checkout so you only ship to recognised AU localities.
* Residential / Commercial selector at the cart and checkout. Pick a default of Residential, Commercial, the Transdirect account default, or Force customer to pick (no rate appears until the customer chooses).
* Standalone “Transdirect Shipping” widget on the cart page (Block Cart and Classic Cart). Combined postcode/suburb typeahead + optional residential/commercial radios + a Get a Quote button. Customers see rates without leaving the cart.
Behaviour changes
* The customer’s residential/commercial choice now flows through to the Transdirect booking sync. Previously the account default was sent regardless of what the customer picked.
* The configured “Quote Display” mode on the Transdirect portal is now honoured (display cheapest, cheapest + fastest, or all). In reduced modes the carrier label is replaced with your custom Shipping Title when set.
* When a product is missing dimensions or weight, the Transdirect account’s Default Item Size is used as a fallback so quotes still run.
* The legacy custom checkout-section heading override (driven by the API’s shipping_title) has been removed — the WC default “Shipping options” heading is shown in full-quote mode.
Upgrade
* Existing API keys stored on a zone shipping method are automatically lifted into the new global setting on first load. A one-time admin notice asks you to verify before placing orders.
* qty_in_pkg product meta from the legacy “Transdirect Shipping Revision” plugin carries over with zero migration — same meta key.
Under the hood
* Failed order syncs now retry with exponential backoff instead of being permanently abandoned after 5 attempts.
* Fixed a crash that could exhaust PHP memory when admin pages instantiated multiple Transdirect shipping methods.
* Fixed Block Cart 400 errors during in-progress totals recalculation.
* Tested with WooCommerce up to 10.5 and PHP 7.4+.
8.0.3
- Added support for the new WooCommerce Block Checkout (in addition to the Classic Checkout).
- Shipping type selection (e.g. Parcel, Satchel) now works correctly on both checkout styles.
- Fixed an issue where checkout could proceed without a shipping method selected.
- Improved compatibility with newer versions of PHP, WooCommerce, and WordPress Multisite.
- Tested with WooCommerce up to 10.5.
8.0.2
- Bug fixes and general improvements
