Through our strategic partnership with GLS, we’ll be implementing new GLS endpoints as part of our core integration, rather than as a plugin. This direct partnership will enable regular communication with GLS about customer needs and upcoming changes, ensuring that we can keep pace with the newest features and changing requirements.
You will benefit from fewer manual tasks, with features, enhancements, and maintenance being deployed more seamlessly. The integration will meet more merchant needs, such as handling customs information and GLS-specific hazardous goods data, giving merchants the ability to offer a better buyer experience with less effort on their part.
Here's how you benefit
-
Faster access to GLS updates, since we can deploy features and maintenance across all systems without the need for manual updates.
-
Continuous improvements that are easier to implement and access.
-
A more user-friendly GLS integration, eliminating the need for installation and manual updates to access new features.
-
Hazardous Goods Service can be used
What's next for the integration
We’ll be releasing features incrementally, so while not everything will be available at first, additional features such as Webshop extensions, Pickup services, and End-of-day reports are in the pipeline for future updates.
-
Improved solution to add delivery to a GLS ParcelShop or GLS ParcelStation as a shipping method to the Shop checkout (via specific plug-in)
