Robonobo Shipping

Handle your own local deliveries with your employees or delegate them to an independent courier or a transport company.

When one of your customers places an order on your e-commerce website and selects one of this plugin’s delivery options (local delivery),

the order is automatically sent via API to the courier’s mobile application. Your customer receives a link to track the courier in real time on a map.

Finally, once the delivery is completed, the order status is automatically updated to “Completed” on your e-commerce website.

How it works

Here are the steps to install, configure, and use the plugin:

-

Install and activate the plugin

• Download the plugin from the WordPress directory or from the provided ZIP file.

• Activate it from Plugins > Installed Plugins.

-

Add the Robonobo shipping method

• Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping.

• Open an existing shipping zone or create a new one.

• Click “Add shipping method”, select Local express delivery or D+1, then click “Add shipping method”.

-

Configure the shipping method

• Click “Edit” on the “Local express delivery or D+1” method you just added.

• Set the title displayed to the customer (e.g. “Local delivery”, “Nearby delivery”, “Direct delivery from our warehouse”, “Short supply chain delivery”, etc.).

• Define weight ranges and their associated prices using an intuitive interface.

• Click “Save changes”.

-

Configure the connection with your Robonobo account

• Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Robonobo (a new tab will be visible).

• Click “Create a Robonobo Planner account” if you don’t have one yet, or enter your credentials if you already have an account.

• Click “Test connection” to verify that your WordPress back office can send orders to Robonobo Planner.

-

Production usage

• (The Robonobo shipping method will appear on your checkout page if it is properly “enabled” and if the ordered products have “weights” that match the configured criteria.)

• When a customer places an order using the Robonobo shipping method, delivery data is automatically sent to your Robonobo Planner account.

• You can track and plan your delivery routes from the Robonobo interface.

• When a delivery is completed in Robonobo, the order status will automatically be updated to “Completed” in your back office.

External services

This plugin connects to the Robonobo Planner API. The Robonobo Planner application allows you (yourself, your couriers, or your transport provider) to manage deliveries efficiently with real-time tracking.

The plugin sends order information (name, address, weight) required by the courier. Only orders associated with the plugin’s shipping methods are sent.

Once an order has been delivered, Robonobo Planner sends delivery information back to your website to update the order status.

The Robonobo Planner application, like this plugin, is provided by “Robonobo SAS”:
