WooCommerce fulfillment support

WooCommerce stores often need a clean handoff between order management, tracking updates, and inventory movement. Midwest Logistics can help clients align those workflows before launch.

Before setup

  • Confirm that SKUs in WooCommerce exactly match the SKUs used by Midwest Logistics
  • Review shipping method mapping and order status expectations
  • Identify any custom product setups, variable products, or bundled items that may need special handling

Installation and setup

Most integration issues come from mismatched SKUs, unclear shipping logic, or unsupported plugin behavior. A quick review before launch can prevent inventory confusion and fulfillment delays later.

Install the plugin

  1. Sign in to your store's WordPress administration area, usually found at your website address followed by /wp-admin.
  2. Go to Plugins > Add New and search for Midwest Logistics. You can also get the plugin from the official WordPress listing.
  3. Select Install Now, then Activate.

Configure the plugin

Open Midwest Logistics > Settings from the WordPress administration menu. Contact Midwest Logistics to obtain your API key and confirm the settings for your account.

The screenshot below shows an earlier plugin interface. Newer releases removed the API version selector and legacy customer identifier setting, so those fields may not appear in your installed version.

The live guide uses these starting values; confirm any account-specific changes with our team:

  • API key: enter the key supplied by Midwest Logistics
  • Sync Inventory: Yes
  • Order status to import: Processing
  • Automatically push orders: Yes
  • Automatically send tracking email: Yes
  • Custom Shipment Message: keep the default or customize the message for your customers
  • Do not update tracking on orders older than: 30 days
  • Clear the communication log for entries older than: 90 days
  • Do not retry invalid orders older than: 30 days

Select Save Changes when finished.

Set shipping defaults and rate mapping

Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Midwest Logistics and choose your default shipping method.

For basic shipping, the existing setup guide uses Standard Service Group with Enable Rate Mapping set to No. Discuss other defaults with Midwest Logistics. If your store uses custom shipping methods, enable rate mapping and match the store's shipping options to the Midwest Logistics services agreed with our team.

Common questions

Why are inventory or stock levels incorrect?

Compare the WooCommerce SKU with the SKU in the warehouse system. They must match exactly, including letter case. For variations and bundles, also review the product setup and plugin compatibility with Midwest Logistics.

What should I do when an order submission fails?

Review the notice on the order and check the plugin's Communication Log for the cause. After resolving a communication issue or missing SKU, you can resubmit from the order screen or use Orders With Errors to send the order again.

How does Sync Inventory work?

When enabled, the plugin checks warehouse stock hourly. It updates the WooCommerce stock quantity and the product's in-stock or out-of-stock status.

Can I use custom shipping methods?

Yes. Enable Rate Mapping under WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Midwest Logistics, then match your store's shipping methods to the corresponding Midwest Logistics services.

Which bundle plugin is recommended?

The existing integration guidance recommends WooCommerce Product Bundles. Confirm your bundle configuration and compatibility with Midwest Logistics before launch.

Are UPS and USPS shipping plugins supported?

The integration guidance covers the WooCommerce UPS and WooCommerce USPS shipping extensions.

Enable Rate Mapping to see your shipping zones and configured methods. Map each selected carrier option to a Midwest Logistics service. If no service is selected, the default shipping service is used.
