Have you ever felt that your online store, instead of being a sales machine, has turned into a “bureaucracy machine”? For many Greek store owners, the moment an order is completed is the start of an ordeal: copying details by hand, logging in to the couriers’ old systems, issuing vouchers (shipping labels) one by one and emailing the customer.
This “pain point” does not only cost time. It costs shipping mistakes, unhappy customers and lost money. The solution? A custom programmatic integration (API integration).
Why issuing vouchers by hand “kills” your ROI
As your online store grows, the processes that worked at 5 orders a day collapse at 50.
- Human error: A wrong phone number or address means a returned parcel and double shipping costs.
- Delivery delays: The customer expects the tracking number straight away.
- Complexity: If you use 2 or 3 different couriers (for example ACS and BoxNow, two Greek courier companies), the complexity skyrockets.
The programmatic solution: custom web services & API integration
At BigDrop, we don’t just suggest “off-the-shelf plugins” that often weigh your site down. We develop solutions that communicate directly with the couriers’ web services.
1. Automatic voucher creation at the click of a button
With the right configuration, the voucher is issued automatically as soon as the order reaches the “Processing” status. The system “reads” the weight and the shipping zone and chooses the best option.
2. Real-time tracking updates
The customer automatically receives the tracking link on Viber or by email, without you doing anything. This cuts the calls to your customer service by 40%.
3. Bulk label printing (bulk actions)
Imagine printing 100 courier labels in 30 seconds, ready to stick on the parcels.
