Important note about Cloudflare

Cloudflare, a platform used to protect and speed up websites, includes a feature called bot fight mode. Although this feature can help fight malicious bots, it can also cause problems if it is not managed correctly.

If you are using Cloudflare and “bot fight mode” is on, it can interfere with collecting information through your website’s application programming interface (API). As a result, this can cause 403 errors and keep your site from working correctly.

For that reason, we suggest turning off “bot fight mode” to avoid these issues and keep your website running well.

To turn off this feature, you can read this article.

Common error solutions

❌ “Unable to verify the first certificate” or “Internal Server Error”

If you receive this message while trying to integrate, check that your store has the correct certificates and that there are no permission or communication problems between WooCommerce and other services on the wp-json routes.

Depending on what you find when you review the endpoint, you may need to do the following:

• Fix the .htaccess file: Make sure your store’s .htaccess file is configured correctly.
• Make any other required settings.

❌ 403 “Forbidden” or “400” or “UPS” error message

This error appears when the firewall blocks certain API connections or is limited to certain IP addresses.

In these cases, temporarily turn off the block so the integration can proceed, or add our IP addresses to your whitelist:

• 3.209.100.219
• 34.224.235.111
• 3.211.106.119
• 35.173.225.189

Also consider turning off bots that may be interfering with WooCommerce functionality, and if possible add our IP addresses to the whitelist of those tools.

❌ “-111 connect ECONNREFUSED” error message

This error occurs when you try to connect to a local environment that is not available. In most cases, this happens because your store is running in a local environment instead of a hosting service reachable from the web. To fix this, you need to make your local environment reachable from the cloud. You can do this with tools such as ngrok, which let you expose your local server through a public URL.

If you still have problems after following the steps above, contact our support team for more help, and provide the following information:

• A detailed description of the problem.
• WordPress version.
• Versions of the WooCommerce and Envia Shipping and Fulfillment plugins.
• PHP version of your server.
• Active theme in your store (go to WordPress > Appearance > Themes).

To identify the requested versions, go to your WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Site Health > Info.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up manual rates in WooCommerce?

You can set fixed shipping costs in your WooCommerce online store, with different conditions. To learn how to set them up, see the following article with the available options. WooCommerce article on shipping rates

Why do our automatic checkout options not appear in WooCommerce?

If our automatic checkout options do not appear in your WooCommerce store, there may be a duplicate in the shipping zones. This can happen if you have duplicate states in your shipping zones, which causes WooCommerce to prioritize the order of the shipping zones you created. To fix this, follow these steps:

1. Review your shipping zones:
   • Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping zones.
   • Confirm that there are no duplicate states in the shipping zones.
2. Remove the duplicates:
   • If you find duplicates, remove them to avoid conflicts.
3. Add our shipping option:
   • Inside the shipping zones you already created, make sure you add our shipping option.
   • This will let our automatic checkout appear correctly.
4. Save your changes:
   • Remember to save your changes after making the necessary edits.

Why does the settings option not appear in the plugin list?

In some cases, the store may have a plugin that adds extra options, such as translation. WooCommerce limits the number of links that can appear in the list, which can cause some options to be replaced. To open Envia rates and shipping settings, follow these steps:

• Go to WooCommerce > select Settings > shipping
• Click Envia rates and shipping.
