Bob Go smart shipping solution Plugin

Smart shipping solution

Orders are automatically synchronised from your WooCommerce store, making it easy to generate electronic shipping labels with one click. Receive quotes from multiple couriers (no additional courier accounts are needed), select the courier you wish to use, print the shipping label and request collection from the courier all from one easy-to-use interface. Your customers will then receive automatic updates by email on the status of their orders with online tracking within your own store.

Click here

1. Log into your WordPress admin site.
2. Click on the “WooCommerce” tab and then “Settings”.
3. Click on “Advanced” in the tab, and then on “REST API” in the sub-menu.
4. Firstly, if Bob Go is already on your WooCommerce site, make sure it has READ/WRITE access.
   NOTE: Bob Go needs “Read/Write” access to ensure that order updates are sent back to your WooCommerce store.
5. If you do not have Bob Go on your WooCommerce site yet, click “Add key”.
6. A “Key Details” page will load:
   In the “Description” text box, add Bob Go.
   In the “User” box, select the default admin user.
   In the “Permissions” box, select Read/Write.
7. Then click on the “Generate API key” button.
   The consumer key and consumer secret will now be shown to you. You will need to copy these values and paste them into the relevant spaces in Bob Go. We highly recommend saving these values somewhere, as you might not be able to view them at a later stage.
8. Next, go to your WordPress Settings, select “Permalinks” and make sure “Post Name” is selected.
9. Once those settings are all activated, please copy the URL.
   You must use your admin site URL to integrate your WooCommerce store to the Bob Go platform. You can find this by logging into your admin site and copying the URL from the address bar (it should NOT have /wp-admin/ in it).
10. On the Bob Go platform, click on the “Sales Channels” tab and select WooCommerce from the options on the screen.
11. Paste your WordPress admin site URL (copied in the previous steps) into the relevant fields and complete the WooCommerce installer on Bob Go to grant access to your WooCommerce store.
