Appendix
Extra Charges
These are the charges you pay apart from paying for the plugin. In case of Woocommerce Shipping Method, you need to buy WooCommerce Stamps.com API to print postage and automate shipment tracking and pay for it online. Without Stamps.com API WooCommerce Shipping Method is as good as our open source USPS Shipping Method Plugin.
Stamps.com Plugin with USPS Postage for WooCommerce by ELEX is a Stamps.com Approved Integration Partner. Signing up using the link will get you a free 4-week free trial plus discounts on the purchase of a digital weigh scale or label printer from Stamps.com. 
Taxes
These means if the plugin allows the store owner to automatically add different taxes, or they need to add taxes manually.
Shipping Rate Adjustments
This means individual shipping rates by USPS can be adjusted or not.
Demo Sites
These sites are supposed to get an experience of how the plugin is going to perform. This lets you check if the plugin is for your business, without actually buying the premium plugin.
