Canada Post Return Labels for Contract and Non-Contract Users

A lot of store owners have requested the feature to have the ability to generate and download the return shipment label along with the shipping label. This will help them save a lot of time and effort which they would spend getting the labels from the Canada Post website or the post office.

With WooCommerce Canada Post Shipping Plugin, store owners can now get the return labels directly from the Edit Order page.

Note: Canada Post only supports return shipment labels for domestic orders. Hence, you will not be able to generate and print the return shipping labels in case of an International Shipment.



Allow Customers To get Return Labels on the My Accounts Page

Once you have successfully generated the return labels, the only thing required is to make sure the customers get the return labels. You can make it available for the customers to download from the My Accounts section on your website, by enabling the option shown in the image below.

Select the Sender State Code instead of Entering One

For those store owners, who are still confused about the Sender State Code option in the plugin settings, we have decided to provide a drop-down and listed all the Canadian States. This way you can dive directly to the functionality of the plugin instead of spending time finding the correct state/province code for your address.

Display the Exact Estimated Delivery Date instead of the Number Of Days

By default, Canada Post provides both the number of days remaining for the delivery as well as the estimated delivery date. However, for simplification, and on customer demand, the plugin will now display the exact delivery date instead of the number of days remaining for delivery.
