Less manual work
WooCommerce shipping without manually copying order data
WooCommerce offers merchants great freedom in building, designing, and expanding their online store. However, this flexibility quickly becomes an operational challenge when orders have to be manually transferred to different shipping portals.
For every shipment, the recipient's address, weight, dimensions, value of goods, item description, and shipping method must be correctly recorded. For international orders, customs tariff numbers, countries of origin, Incoterms, and export documents are also required.
With the WooCommerce integration from Paket International, shipping, carrier selection, tracking, and customs clearance are combined in a single, centralized process. Your WooCommerce orders form the basis for further shipping processing.
The result is a structured workflow that can grow with your order volume and saves time, especially for recurring national and international shipments.
Your benefits

Automate the steps that previously had to be done manually between order receipt and shipment.
1
Less manual data entry
Import relevant order, address and item data from WooCommerce instead of re-entering it into carrier portals for each shipment.
2

Compare suitable shipping options from different carriers and choose the right solution based on destination country, price, transit time or service.
3
Customs directly integrated
Process merchandise values, item information, countries of origin and customs tariff numbers for international shipments in a structured way within a workflow.
Problem and solution
Why WooCommerce shipping quickly becomes complex
As order volumes increase, so do the time required and the potential for errors when shop, carrier portals, customs data and tracking are maintained separately.
| Without central WooCommerce shipping integration | With International Package |
|---|---|
| Order data is copied manually. | Relevant WooCommerce data is imported in a structured format. |
| A separate portal is used for each carrier. | Various shipping providers are compared centrally. |
| Shipping costs must be researched individually. | Price, duration and service can be evaluated together. |
| Tracking numbers are entered manually. | Tracking data is assigned to the shipping order. |
| Customs documents are created outside of the shipping process. | Shipping and customs documents will be prepared jointly. |
| Missing product data is often only noticed during shipping. | Relevant product and customs information is taken into account at an early stage. |
| International costs are difficult to calculate. | DDP, DAP and import duties can be incorporated into the shipping logic. |
Features
What the WooCommerce shipping plugin enables
The WooCommerce integration connects your shop to the shipping platform of Paket International and consolidates central shipping tasks.
1
Import WooCommerce orders
Recipient address, billing address, item positions, quantities, merchandise values and other required order information can be transferred for shipping processing.
2
Compare shipping prices and delivery times
Depending on the destination country, weight, dimensions and shipping requirements, different shipping options can be checked and selected to match the order.
3
Create WooCommerce shipping labels
After selecting the shipping option, the shipping label is generated from the existing data. Shipping processing remains closely linked to the WooCommerce order.
4
Provide tracking numbers
The generated tracking number can be assigned to the respective order and used for order status, customer service and shipping communication.
5
Processing customs and export data
Product description, value, weight, country of origin, customs tariff number, shipping purpose and Incoterms can be taken into account in a structured manner.
6
Create shipping documents
Depending on the shipment and destination country, a commercial invoice, pro forma invoice, CN22, CN23, shipping label and other export documents may be required.
Multi-carrier shipping
Centrally integrate WooCommerce shipping providers
Instead of managing each parcel service individually in WooCommerce and internal processes, Paket International bundles various shipping options within one platform.
DHL

Cross-border commerce
International WooCommerce shipping with customs clearance
When shipping within Germany or the European Union, shipping labels, delivery times, and tracking are often the primary concerns. However, for orders to third countries, a simple WooCommerce shipping label is insufficient.
Shipments to Switzerland, Great Britain, the USA, Canada or other international markets usually require additional goods and customs information.
Paket International's WooCommerce integration connects this data with the actual shipping process. This eliminates the need to process shipping labels, commercial invoices, import duties, and tracking in separate solutions.
- precise product description and product value
- Weight, quantity and country of origin
- Customs tariff number and shipping purpose
- DDP or DAP settlement
- Commercial invoice or pro forma invoice
- Tracking and status assignment
DDP, DAP and Landed Costs
To make international costs more transparent
DDP shipping from WooCommerce
When shipping under the Delivered Duty Paid principle, relevant import costs are taken into account during the shipping process. The sender covers the agreed duties and costs.
DDP
Less manual data entry
Import relevant order, address and item data from WooCommerce instead of re-entering it into carrier portals for each shipment.
DAP
DAP shipping from WooCommerce
With Delivered at Place, any import duties are generally borne by the recipient. Clear communication at checkout and after purchase is therefore particularly important.
LC
Consider landed costs
Customs duties, import VAT, handling fees and country-specific surcharges can be included in the international shipping calculation.
Checkout and shipping rules
Manage shipping options to match the order
Depending on the technical configuration, shipping options, prices, transit times and international costs can already be taken into account in the WooCommerce checkout.
Shipping options by destination country
Display only services that are suitable for the selected delivery country and the available order data.
Selection based on price and duration
For example, offer an economical standard option and a faster express option.
Rules based on weight and package dimensions
Depending on weight, dimensions and number of packages, choose suitable parcel or express services.
Rules according to the value of goods
Define the minimum merchandise value at which insurance, special approval, or a specific shipping service is required.
Rules according to product
Separate shipping processes can be provided for sensitive, high-quality, bulky, or regulated goods.
Rules according to carrier preference
Prefer or restrict specific shipping providers depending on target market, service quality, or internal requirements.

Shipping strategy
Manage shipping costs more efficiently with WooCommerce
The cheapest shipping method is not automatically the best solution. The crucial factors are the balance between price, delivery time, reliability, tracking, and suitability for the specific shipment.
A multi-carrier process allows you to reassess shipping options for each order and avoid fixed carrier assignments.
- Shipping country and destination country
- Package weight and dimensions
- Number of packages
- Type and value of goods
- Standard or express shipping
- Additional services and insurance
- DDP or DAP settlement
- Customs and import requirements
Scalable processes
WooCommerce shipping software for growing e-commerce
With only a few orders per week, many steps can still be handled manually. However, as shipping volumes increase, these processes quickly become a bottleneck.
Employees have to transfer data, compare shipping prices, add customs information, save labels, and enter tracking numbers into WooCommerce.
Paket International's WooCommerce shipping software creates a centralized process for these tasks. Existing shop structures are retained and enhanced with professional shipping and customs functions.
This makes the integration suitable for both smaller, growing shops and established retailers with regular international orders.
