Pickup Points for WooCommerce – Offer Your Customers the Flexibility They Want

Transform your checkout by adding a new shipping method: pickup points. With Qapla’ Pudo, your customers choose when and where to collect their orders, without waiting at home for a courier.

A complete solution that grows with your business

This plugin integrates seamlessly into WooCommerce (via Qapla’ or GLS) and puts you on par with major market players. Your customers get a reliable and convenient delivery option, while you reduce logistics costs and inventory buildup.

What you can do:

Enable pickup points at checkout with simple configuration
Customize shipping costs for this method (or make it free above a threshold)
Choose between interactive maps (Google Maps or OpenStreetMap) or list view: desktop and mobile adapt automatically
Access thousands of pickup points across Europe – Qapla’ integrates 20+ couriers (UPS, DHL, GLS, FedEx, TNT, InPost, and many others)

Compatible with:

Qapla’ Platform – access a network of European couriers with extensive coverage
GLS Platform – use exclusively the GLS pickup network

The plugin is free to use. You’ll need an active contract with Qapla’ or GLS to use it.

High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)

This plugin is compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

2. Enable “High-Performance Order Storage”
3. Click “Save changes”

The plugin uses the WooCommerce Order API ($order->get_meta(), $order->update_meta_data()) for all order data operations, ensuring full compatibility with HPOS.

What are the differences between Qapla’ and GLS?

Qapla’ and GLS are two different platforms with different coverage:

Qapla’: Gives you access to a network of 20+ European couriers (UPS, DHL, GLS, FedEx, TNT, InPost, BRT, Correos, SEUR, and many others). Ideal if you want to offer your customers maximum choice of pickup points. The network is extensive across Italy, Spain, and all of Europe.
GLS: Offers exclusively GLS pickup points. If you already have a contract with GLS for deliveries, this is the most straightforward choice. Coverage is good in Italy and Europe, but limited to the GLS network only.

In short: choose Qapla’ for maximum flexibility and a wide network; choose GLS for a simple, dedicated solution.

Do I need a contract with Qapla’ or GLS to use the plugin?

Yes, it is required. The plugin is free, but to work it needs API credentials provided by an active contract with Qapla’ or GLS. Without these credentials, the plugin cannot connect to the servers to retrieve pickup points.

If you don’t have a contract yet, contact Qapla’ or GLS directly. If you already have a contract with one of them (even for other logistics solutions), you can reuse the same API credentials.

How does the plugin appear in checkout and what information do customers see?

It depends on how you configure it. The plugin offers two display modes:

Interactive map (Google Maps or OpenStreetMap):

Customers see a map with pickup points marked
They can browse and select their preferred point
Each point shows opening hours, phone number, notes, courier name, and distance
Desktop: large readable map | Mobile: optimized view

List view:

A list of available pickup points sorted by distance
Same details: hours, phone, courier, distance
Lightweight and works great on mobile

In both modes, after selecting a pickup point the customer confirms the choice and proceeds to payment. The selected point’s address and opening hours appear on the thank you page and in the confirmation email.

Which e-commerce stores are ideal for this plugin?

The plugin works best with stores selling small to medium-sized products, as pickup points have size limitations.

Ideal for: clothing and accessories, books and media, cosmetics and beauty, consumer electronics (earbuds, chargers, etc.), small home goods, toys, food and beverage.

Less suitable for: large furniture, bulky appliances, large sporting equipment, goods requiring specialized delivery.

Note: size limits vary by courier and pickup point. You can enable this method for all products — it will be up to your logistics workflow to handle any courier incompatibilities.

I don’t see any pickup points in the checkout — what should I do?

Most likely causes:

API key is incorrect – go to Qapla’ Pudo settings, verify the key, and run the connection test
PUDO service not active in your contract – contact your Qapla’ or GLS representative to verify
Search radius too small – increase the default radius in the plugin settings (try 25 km)
Shipping method not in the right zone – go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping and verify the method is assigned to the zone matching your customer’s address

Google Maps is not loading — what should I do?

Verify you have entered a Google Maps API key in the plugin settings
In Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com), confirm that Maps JavaScript API is enabled for your key
If you have reached the free usage limit, add a payment method to your Google Cloud account

The “Qapla’ Pudo” shipping method does not appear in checkout — what should I do?

Verify you have added “Qapla’ Pudo” as a shipping method in WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping for the correct zone
Check that the customer’s address falls within the shipping zone where the method is configured
Go to Plugins and confirm that “Qapla’ Pickup Points” is listed as Active
