Shipping integration: Omniva, DPD, LP Express
Shipping integration connects a courier service to your online store, so customers choose a parcel locker or courier at checkout, and you create and print the shipping label in the store's admin area. Saitai.lt integrates Omniva, DPD, LP Express (the Lithuanian Post's parcel service) and Venipak. Prices start at €150 per provider, with a timeline of 3–7 working days.

Who it’s for
- You create shipping labels in the courier's self-service portal, copying the customer's name, phone number and parcel locker from each order.
- Customers write their parcel locker in the order comments, or you have to find it out by phone.
- You send tracking numbers to customers in a separate email, or not at all, so you get "Where's my parcel?" enquiries.
- You ship dozens of parcels every day and want to print the labels for all orders in one go.
- You want to add a second or third courier, so customers can choose the parcel locker network that suits them best.
- The delivery price should depend on weight, size or order value, but right now it's the same for everyone.
When it’s not the right fit
- You only send a few parcels a month. Then it's quicker to create the label in the courier's self-service portal than to install and maintain an integration.
- You don't have a business contract with a courier service. Labels and tracking require a contract and API login details from the provider, so that's the place to start.
- You deliver all orders yourself, or customers collect them from your shop. Then your online store's delivery settings are enough, without an integration.
Included
What you get
Parcel locker choice at checkout
The customer picks a parcel locker from a list or map by city and street, and the locker's address is saved to the order.
Delivery price rules
We set the delivery price by weight, parcel size, order value or country; for example, delivery can be free above an amount you choose.
Shipping labels from the admin area
You create and print a label straight from the order, and the labels for several orders in one go.
Tracking number for the customer
The tracking number is saved to the order and emailed to the customer together with a parcel tracking link.
Courier pick-up and parcel list
If the provider's API allows it, you book a courier pick-up and draw up the list of parcels being handed over (the manifest) without leaving your online store.
Several couriers in one place
We combine several providers so that the customer sees a clear list of delivery options, and you see the status of every parcel in a single order list.
Testing and a 12-month warranty
Before launch, we create test parcels for every delivery method and check the labels. For 12 months, we fix integration bugs free of charge.
Price
How much does a shipping provider integration cost?
Price from
€150
Integrating one shipping provider with your online store costs from €150: the price covers parcel locker or courier choice at checkout, delivery price settings, labels and the tracking number in the customer email. When we build a new online store, one courier is included in the Start package, and 2–3 couriers with labels in the Business package.
Prices include all taxes – no VAT is added (we are not VAT-registered). The final price depends on the project: we put it and the timeline in the contract before work starts.
What the price depends on
- How many shipping providers and delivery methods (to a parcel locker, by courier to the door) need connecting.
- Whether a reliable provider module exists for your platform, or the integration has to be built using the API.
- How complex the delivery price rules are: weight, dimensions, countries, free delivery threshold.
- Whether you ship to other countries and whether you need cash on delivery.
- Whether you need bulk label printing, courier pick-up booking or return labels.
- Whether parcel statuses need to be shown in the customer's account or passed to another system.
Additional costs
- The courier service's shipping rates – under your contract with the provider; you pay them directly to the provider.
- A label printer, if you don't have one yet: thermal printers for 10 × 15 cm labels are the most common choice.
- Integration maintenance after the warranty – under a maintenance agreement, agreed separately.
Timeline
How long does a shipping integration take?
A shipping provider integration takes 3–7 working days from receiving the deposit and the provider's API login details. One provider with parcel lockers and labels usually takes 3–4 working days; several providers with complex delivery price rules take 5–7 working days.
| Scope | Example | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| One provider | Omniva or LP Express parcel lockers, labels, tracking number | 3–4 working days |
| Two or three providers | DPD courier, Omniva and Venipak parcel lockers, price by weight | 5–7 working days |
| Custom online store | integration built using the providers' APIs (Laravel) | after assessment |

Comparison
Courier self-service, an official plugin or an integration?
| Criterion | Courier self-service portal | Provider's official plugin | Integration (Saitai.lt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | €0 | €0, if you install it yourself | from €150 per provider |
| Time per parcel | a few minutes copying details | a few clicks, if the settings suit you | a few clicks; labels for several orders in one go |
| Errors in customer details | frequent, as details are copied by hand | rare | rare; the parcel locker comes from the customer's own choice |
| Several couriers | a separate portal for each | each plugin works in its own way | brought together in one order list |
| Delivery price rules | no link to the basket | only what the plugin offers | your own rules: weight, order value, country |
| Best for | a few parcels a month | a single courier where the default settings work | lots of parcels, several couriers or non-standard rules |
Examples
Typical projects
Online bookshop
- Situation
- For example, an online bookshop sends several hundred parcels a week. A member of staff creates every label in the courier's self-service portal and re-types customers' phone numbers.
- Solution
- Omniva and LP Express parcel lockers at checkout, labels for all of the day's orders printed in one go, and the tracking number emailed to the customer automatically.
- Result
- Time saved every day, fewer errors in customer details and fewer questions about parcels.
Furniture store with large items
- Situation
- For example, a furniture online store sends small items to parcel lockers and large furniture by courier. The delivery price is the same for everyone, so it's too low for large orders.
- Solution
- Parcel lockers are offered only when everything in the basket fits in a locker, and the courier price is calculated by weight and dimensions.
- Result
- A delivery price that reflects real costs and fewer orders that need correcting after payment.
Selling in Latvia and Estonia
- Situation
- For example, a cosmetics online store starts selling in Latvia and Estonia, where customers are also used to collecting parcels from lockers.
- Solution
- Parcel lockers are shown according to the customer's country, each country gets its own delivery price, and labels are created in the same admin area.
- Result
- Sales in neighbouring countries without separate parcel handling, and clear delivery prices for customers.
