GLS Plugin for WooCommerce: Rates, Service Points, Labels and Tracking
SmartyParcel is a logistics platform with a WooCommerce plugin that connects your store to GLS. Install it, add a sender, and the plugin takes over the routine: shipping rates at checkout, a GLS Service Point picker your customers can search, shipping label creation in one click and parcel statuses right inside your WooCommerce orders. GLS delivers across Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Italy, Spain and other European markets — and you run all of it from the WordPress admin instead of the carrier's cabinet. Along with GLS you can enable InPost, PostNord, Nova Post, Ukrposhta, Meest, DHL and Nova Global in the same plugin.
How to connect GLS to WooCommerce?
To start shipping orders with GLS from your WooCommerce store, you need three simple steps.
Install and activate the SmartyParcel WooCommerce plugin
Connect the plugin to your SmartyParcel account
Enable GLS and add the GLS Service Point shipping method
GLS Service Point Picker at WooCommerce Checkout
Across Poland, Germany, Czechia and most other GLS markets a large share of shoppers prefer to collect an order from a nearby pickup point instead of waiting for a courier. The plugin adds a GLS Service Point shipping method with a searchable point picker directly to your WooCommerce checkout page, so the customer chooses the exact location in a couple of clicks.
At checkout your customers can choose:
- A GLS Service Point (ParcelShop) near home or work
- Courier delivery to a home or office address
- A different carrier, if you have several shipping methods enabled in the same zone
The selected point is saved with the order, so the data is already correct when the shipping label is created — no manual clean-up and no parcels sent to the wrong location. Fewer failed deliveries, fewer "which point did I pick" tickets, and a checkout that looks familiar to European buyers.

Create and Print GLS Shipping Labels from WooCommerce
Stop retyping order data into the carrier's cabinet. The plugin pulls customer and order details straight from WooCommerce and turns them into a ready-to-print GLS shipping label, cutting label creation time by roughly 10x compared to filling everything in by hand.
Single-order label
Open any order and generate its GLS label on the spot — sender, recipient, service point, weight and dimensions are filled in automatically from the order data.
Bulk label printing
Select a batch of orders and print GLS labels for all of them at once. For a store dispatching dozens or hundreds of parcels a day this turns an hour of routine into a couple of minutes before the driver arrives.
The same plugin creates labels for InPost, PostNord, Nova Post, Ukrposhta, Meest and DHL Express, so a mixed order queue is processed in one place.
GLS Shipping Rates and Zones in WooCommerce
Quote a delivery cost that matches reality instead of a flat fee that either scares buyers away or eats your margin. GLS is added as a shipping method inside a WooCommerce shipping zone, so you control exactly which countries see it, and the plugin calculates the price for that specific parcel — weight, dimensions and destination included.
GLS shipping rates in WooCommerce mean:
- Separate zones for domestic and cross-border GLS delivery, each with its own pricing
- Different costs for service point pickup and courier delivery, calculated automatically
- One plugin handling shipping calculation for every connected carrier, so you don't need a separate plugin per courier
How many shipments are included on each plan is described on the pricing page.
GLS Tracking Inside WooCommerce Orders
Keep customers informed after checkout instead of answering "where is my parcel" emails. Once a label is created, SmartyParcel pulls GLS statuses directly from the carrier and shows them in the WooCommerce order — from pickup at your warehouse through to delivery or collection at the service point.
Used as a GLS tracking tool for your store, it helps you:
- Cut down WISMO ("where is my order") support requests
- Spot parcels stuck in transit before the customer complains
- Give buyers one tracking page instead of sending them to the carrier's site
Customers can also check a parcel number on our public GLS tracking page, which works for GLS Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Romania and other country branches.
