Teamdock Pallet
Shipping
Automatically calculate accurate pallet shipping costs at checkout. Powered by the Teamdock packer microservice — it finds the optimal pallet configuration so you never overcharge or undercharge.
Pre-installed on every Teamdock workspace. No extra cost.

How it works
Smart packing, real-time rates
At checkout, the plugin calls the Teamdock packer microservice to figure out the optimal pallet layout — then returns the correct shipping cost instantly.
Products are measured
Each item in the cart has dimensions (L×W×H) and weight set in WooCommerce. The plugin reads these automatically.
Packer optimises the load
The Teamdock packer microservice runs a 3D bin-packing algorithm across all enabled pallet types and finds the cheapest configuration.
Rate shown at checkout
The calculated shipping cost is returned to WooCommerce in milliseconds and displayed to the customer on the checkout page.
At checkout
Your customer sees the pallet, not just a price
The rate comes with a 3D loading plan of their own order, drawn right under the shipping options. A price people can see the reason for is a price they don't email you about.
-
The cheapest pallet wins
This 19-item order fits one block pallet for €95 — two Euro pallets would have cost €170. The packer tries every pallet type you enable.
-
Height, weight and fill at a glance
Footprint, used height against your maximum, load weight and fill rate, per pallet.
-
Every box is inspectable
Hover a box to see the product, its size and weight, and where it sits in the stack.
Automatic cost optimisation
The packer finds the minimum number of pallets needed — reducing your shipping costs and preventing under-quoting on large orders.
Per-zone configuration
Add one shipping method instance per WooCommerce shipping zone. Set different base fees and per-pallet rates for domestic vs. international shipments.
Custom pallet types
Beyond Euro, Half and Block — define your own pallet dimensions and weight limits. Useful for specialist carriers or non-standard warehouse setups.
Fallback for missing dimensions
Products without dimensions set are assumed to be 10×10×10 cm — so checkout never breaks even if your catalogue is incomplete.
Works on your own hosting too
On a Teamdock workspace the plugin is already active — nothing to install. Running WooCommerce elsewhere? Download it from your workspace, paste an API key, and you are done.
Maintained by Teamdock
On Teamdock hosting, updates ship automatically with every release. On your own hosting we send you the new version — the packing engine itself is ours to keep current, and it runs on our servers.
Setup
Up and running in 2 minutes
The plugin is already active on your workspace — just wire it up to your shipping zones.

Test at checkout
Add a large product to your cart and go to checkout. The pallet rate should appear automatically in the shipping options.
Running WooCommerce on your own hosting?
Install the plugin on any WordPress site. It calls our packing service over HTTPS, so your store gets the same rates as a Teamdock workspace — nothing about your catalogue moves anywhere.
Available in your Teamdock workspace
Download the plugin from Settings → Integrations. Version 3.7.1 · WordPress 6.0+, WooCommerce 7.0+, PHP 7.4+
Only need pallet rates, without a workspace? Get in touch and we will send you the plugin with an API key.
You will need an API key
The plugin talks to our packing service, so it needs a key to authenticate — without one it installs fine but returns no rates. Contact us and we will issue one for your store.
Your products' dimensions, weights, SKUs and quantities are sent to our service to calculate a rate. No customer names, addresses, or order totals ever leave your store. See the privacy policy for what we keep and for how long.
Pallet Shipping included on every plan
No extra plugin licence, no separate billing. It ships pre-installed on every Teamdock workspace.
