Swotzy automatically finds the nearest parcel lockers based on the customer’s delivery address

No manual parcel locker selection is needed after the order is imported
You can review the shipment and generate the shipping label in Swotzy

Before You Start

Make sure that:

Your WooCommerce store is connected to Swotzy
Your WooCommerce checkout includes delivery methods for parcel locker delivery
The relevant shipping methods are already configured in your WooCommerce store

If your WooCommerce store is not connected yet, first complete the WooCommerce integration setup.

Step 1 — Configure parcel locker delivery methods in WooCommerce

If your checkout does not yet offer delivery to the nearest parcel locker, you need to add these shipping methods in WooCommerce.

Log in to your WordPress admin panel
In the left-hand menu, go to WooCommerce → Settings
Open the Shipping tab
Select the shipping zone you want to configure
Click Edit for the existing zone, or click Add Zone to create a new one
Add or update shipping methods for parcel locker delivery

For example, you can create shipping methods such as:

Omniva parcel locker (nearest address)
Venipak parcel locker (nearest address)

These delivery methods will be used later when setting up automation in Swotzy.

Step 2 — Open your WooCommerce integration settings in Swotzy

After configuring the shipping methods in WooCommerce, open the store integration settings in Swotzy.

Log in to your Swotzy account
In the left-hand menu, click Integrations
Click Stores
Open your connected WooCommerce store settings

This is where you can define automatic actions for shipping methods imported from your store.

Step 3 — Add an automation rule for nearest parcel locker selection

To automatically assign the nearest parcel locker for a specific WooCommerce delivery method:

In your WooCommerce store settings, open the Settings tab
Go to the Shipping Methods section
Click + New Action
Copy the exact shipping method name from your WooCommerce checkout and paste it into the Method name field
In Matching type, select Exact
In Action type, select Find Closest parcelshop
Select the courier service provider whose parcel lockers should be used
Click Add to save the automation

Repeat these steps for each parcel locker delivery method you want to automate.

Step 4 — Review imported shipments

After the automation is saved, new WooCommerce orders that use the selected delivery method will be imported into Swotzy automatically.

In Swotzy, open Shipment Overview
Open the imported shipment
Click Edit to review the shipment details
In the Ship to section, check the Parcel Shop field

The nearest parcel locker should already be assigned based on the buyer’s address.

Step 5 — Generate the shipping label

Once the shipment details are confirmed:

Review any missing shipment information
Click Update to save the shipment
Confirm that the shipment status changes to Ready
Generate and print the shipping label

Your shipment is now ready to be handed over to the courier.
