How to add nearest parcel locker auto-selection to your Shopify checkout

Result after setup

Once configured:

• Customers choose their preferred parcel locker brand at checkout

• Orders are automatically imported into Swotzy

• The nearest parcel locker of the selected brand (within 5 km) is automatically assigned

• No manual parcel locker selection is required

• The rule appears in your store's Rules list, where you can reorder, duplicate, deactivate, or delete it

You can generate the shipping label as soon as the order appears in Swotzy.

Before you start

Make sure that:

• Your Shopify store is connected to Swotzy
• A “Nearest parcel locker” delivery method is created in your Shopify admin

If you haven’t connected Shopify yet, follow this guide: How to integrate Shopify with Swotzy

Step 1 — Create parcel locker delivery methods in Shopify

To allow customers to choose their preferred parcel locker brand:

1. Log in to your Shopify Admin

2. Go to Settings

3. Click Shipping and delivery

4. Under your shipping profile, click General shipping rates

5. Select your existing shipping zone (for example: Latvia)

6. Click Edit rate

Add a delivery method for each parcel locker brand you want to offer:

• Example: “Omniva parcel locker – nearest to address”

• Example: “DPD parcel locker – nearest to address”

• Set the delivery price

• Click Done to save

Customers will now see separate delivery options for each parcel locker brand.

Step 2 — Create the auto-selection rule in Swotzy

1. Go to Integrations > Stores
2. Click Manage on your Shopify store
3. In the Rules section, click Add order import rule under Order Import
4. Select Find closest parcelshop from the action list — use the search field to find it
5. In Specific carriers (optional), select the carrier that matches your delivery method
6. Click Add Condition
7. Select Shipping method in the first dropdown
8. Select is in the second dropdown
9. Enter the delivery method name from your Shopify checkout in the third field
10. Enter a name in Rule name (optional) to identify the rule in your list
11. Leave Status set to Active
12. Click Create Rule

Repeat this setup for each parcel locker brand you offer at checkout.

The value must match the delivery method name in your Shopify checkout exactly.

This rule runs when the order is imported. It does not change the delivery options your customers see at checkout — those come from your Shopify shipping settings.

To adjust how this rule interacts with your other rules, see What Are Store Automation Rules?

Auto-selection is now active.

What happens after setup

When a customer selects a parcel locker brand at checkout:

• The order is imported into Swotzy, usually within 15 minutes
• Swotzy automatically finds the nearest parcel locker of the selected brand within a 5 km radius
• The assigned parcel locker appears in the shipment details

The customer chooses the brand. Swotzy selects the exact pickup location.
