Delivery and Courier Integration for Sri Lankan Online Stores
Once orders pick up, manually booking deliveries becomes a bottleneck. Integrating your website with a courier service turns a daily chore into a click.
What integration can do
- Create delivery bookings automatically from new orders
- Print waybills and labels
- Pull tracking numbers into the order
- Email or SMS tracking links to customers
- Update order status when the parcel is delivered
Before you integrate
Check whether your courier offers an API. Many Sri Lankan couriers do; some offer bulk CSV upload, which can also be automated.
A branded tracking page
A tracking page on your own website keeps customers on your brand and cuts “where is my order?” calls.
Frequently asked questions
Do you integrate local couriers?
Yes, when the courier provides an API or file format. We build integrations as custom WooCommerce plugins.
Can delivery fees be calculated automatically?
Yes, by zone, weight, or the courier’s own rate API.
