We’re thrilled to share some important news: our beloved plugin “Fish and Ships” has been renamed to “Advanced Shipping Rates for WooCommerce”. But don’t worry! This is just a name change, and everything you love about the plugin remains exactly the same.
We made this decision to better align the name with the plugin’s actual functionality. The new name is more descriptive and accurately reflects everything this plugin can do for your WooCommerce store.
We understand that a name change can feel unsettling for our customers, so we’ve carefully thought this through. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth and clear as possible while ensuring consistency.
Table of Contents
Don’t Worry! Everything Will Stay Exactly the Same
✅ The folder name won’t change
The plugin folder will still be named “fish-and-ships” or “fish-and-ships-pro”, so WordPress will recognize it as the same plugin, and you won’t face any issues.
✅ Your settings will remain untouched
You don’t need to worry about anything. All the settings you’ve configured in the plugin will remain intact. The name change will not affect your shipping system’s functionality.
✅ The features stay the same
The plugin will continue to offer the same powerful features and functionality, along with the same roadmap: to become the most comprehensive, user-friendly plugin for calculating shipping costs.
✅ The same team behind the plugin
We are still the same team that has developed and maintained the plugin so far. We will continue working to ensure the plugin runs perfectly while adding new improvements in the future.
✅ The licensing system remains unchanged
All existing licenses will stay exactly as they are. The renewal system will continue to work in the same way, with no changes for you.
- If you opted for automatic renewal, your license will continue to renew automatically as before.
- If you chose not to enable automatic renewal, don’t worry! We’ll continue to notify you in advance, so you can renew manually, just like you’ve been doing up until now.
Why Change the Name?
Over time, we realized that while “Fish and Ships” was a fun and original name, it didn’t fully convey the plugin’s true value. “Advanced Shipping Rates for WooCommerce” is much more descriptive of what it offers: advanced, flexible, and customizable shipping rates for WooCommerce stores.
This change helps us communicate better with our users and customers, and it makes it easier to reach those looking for tailored shipping solutions, all while presenting a more solid and professional image.
Thank You for Trusting Us!
This name change is a step forward toward a better future, but our beloved plugin and our commitment to you remain intact. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Rest assured: we’re the same team, offering the same product, with the same strong purpose of helping you improve your WooCommerce store!
Let’s keep going!
