Move to Shopify if you want a simpler, “hosted” setup where Shopify handles hosting, core security, and updates, and you prefer an all-in-one platform. Stay on WooCommerce if you need deeper WordPress control, custom code flexibility, and you’re comfortable managing hosting, updates, and plugins. A common approach is: Shopify for speed and simplicity, WooCommerce for maximum control and customization.

For UPS shipping in WooCommerce, the official UPS Shipping Method extension from WooCommerce provides real‑time UPS rates at checkout based on address, weight, and shipping services. It’s reliable if you just need live UPS pricing. For more comprehensive features like label printing and tracking, plugins such as PluginHive’s UPS Shipping Plugin or ShipEngine/EasyPost integrations let you fetch UPS rates and handle label creation directly in your dashboard. Another versatile choice is a multi‑carrier shipping plugin that includes UPS alongside other carriers, giving flexibility and automation for shipping logistics.

To set up sales tax or GST in WooCommerce, go to WooCommerce → Settings → General and enable “Enable tax rates and calculations.” Save changes. Then open WooCommerce → Settings → Tax.

Enter Country, State, Postcode, City, Rate %, Tax name (GST/VAT), Priority, Compound, and Shipping tax option if required. Save. Finally, place a test order to confirm correct tax calculation.

If you mean an alternative to selling through Facebook for WooCommerce, the best options are other sales channels and ad platforms. For social selling, try Instagram Shopping, TikTok Shop, Pinterest Shopping, and Google Merchant Center for free listings. For marketplaces, use Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart Marketplace, or Flipkart, depending on your niche. For advertising, Google Search and Shopping ads often convert well for buyer intent, and YouTube can drive demand. For direct communication, build email marketing with Klaviyo or Mailchimp, plus WhatsApp Business for follow-ups. Also invest in SEO and content so you own long-term traffic.
