This article explains how to configure automatic nearest parcel locker selection for orders from your WooCommerce store.
Once set up, Swotzy automatically finds the nearest parcel lockers based on the customer’s delivery address. This helps you process shipments faster without manually selecting a pickup point.
Result After Setup
Once enabled:
- Swotzy automatically finds the nearest parcel lockers based on the customer’s delivery address
- The closest parcel locker is assigned to the shipment automatically
- 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.
