Courier Center Voucher for WooCommerce

Courier Center for WooCommerce creates, prints, cancels and traces Courier Center vouchers (shipping tickets) from your WooCommerce orders. This guide covers installation, the settings and the daily workflow.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0 or newer and WooCommerce 3.4 or newer (High-Performance Order Storage supported)
• PHP 7.4 or newer
• Courier Center API credentials: Account Code, User Alias, Credential Value and API Key. Courier Center provides them.
• A wpslash.com licence key for the plugin

Installation

1. Download the plugin .zip from your wpslash.com licences page after purchase.
2. Go to WordPress Admin > Plugins > Add New, click Upload Plugin and choose the file you downloaded.
3. Click Install Now and then Activate.
4. Paste your licence key on the licence screen the plugin opens and click Activate. Updates then arrive in your WordPress dashboard.

Setup and Configuration

Go to WooCommerce > Settings > WPSlash Voucher Settings. The tab has two sections: Global Settings and Courier Center.

Global Settings

• Courier Center instances you will run: most stores need 1. If you have more than one set of Courier Center credentials, raise the number, save, and a section appears for each extra account (Courier Center 2, 3, …).
• Weight Calculation: a fixed weight for every voucher, or automatic from the cart weight. With Fixed, set the weight in kg in Fixed Weight.
• Weight Rewrite: lets you change the weight per order before creating the voucher.
• Enable Automatic Voucher Generation on Complete: creates the voucher by itself when you mark an order as Completed.

Courier Center

1. Enter the Account Code, User Alias, Credential Value and API Key you received from Courier Center.
2. Optionally set Reference Key 1 and Reference Key 2. Use {order_number} to send your order number with the voucher.
3. Set the Sender Name printed on the voucher.
4. Choose the Default Goods Type: Documents, or Non Documents for everything else.
5. Enable Recipient Charge Option if you want to be able to bill some shipments to the recipient from the orders list.
6. Enable Automatically Email Tracking Code to email the tracking code to the customer, and edit the Email Subject and Email Content. You can use {order_id}, {tracking_code}, {first_name} and {last_name}.
7. Enable Automatically Tracing the Orders to follow every Courier Center shipment and move the order to Delivery Completed or Delivery Denied. Choose how often it checks: every hour, twice a day or every day.
8. With automatic voucher generation on, you can limit it to some shipping methods and countries. Leave them empty for all. You can always create a voucher by hand for any order.
9. Check Enable Courier Center Web Services and click Save changes.
