• Home delivery
• Handling of special good, eg food
• TAX handling
• Enable free delivery based on condition

Pick-up point

Let the customer choose a pick-up point close to them during checkout. The package will be delivered to the selected pick-up point, where the customer can collect the package at their own convenience.

A PDF label is immediately shown and ready to print. Tracking information is automatically saved in the system and can be included in customer emails or can be sendt by text message.

Easily create:

• Shipping labels as PDF files
• Return shipping labels
• Tracking information

This plugin replaces the two previous modules Smart Send Labelgenerator and Smart Send Pickup Shipping.
