Pošta Slovenije: home delivery and pickup points

The Pošta Slovenije (Slovenian postal service) delivery method offers five options: delivery to an address and four kinds of collection. For collection, the customer uses a search box at checkout to choose the exact place (a post office, parcel locker, partner point or Direct4me parcel box). You can see the chosen point on the order, and it is also used when printing labels.

1. Switching it on and prices

Stores › Configuration › Sales › Delivery Methods › Posta Slovenije

The settings are split into groups. Open a group by clicking its title. You manage the first three yourself: General, Delivery Methods and Collection Point Selection at Checkout.

1. At the top left, choose the website you are setting up. The settings apply to the whole website, not per language.

2. In the General group, set Enabled to Yes. Title is the carrier name the customer sees above the options (for example Pošta Slovenije).

   

3. Open the Delivery Methods group. Each of the five options has its own subgroup: Home Delivery, Post Office, Parcel Locker, Partner Collection Point (for example a petrol station) and Direct4me Box. Switch an option on with Enabled = Yes; only then do its other settings appear.

   

4. In Price, enter the price including VAT. If you want the price to depend on the parcel weight, fill in Price by Weight: one band per line in the form from_kg:price, for example 0:4.50 and on the next line 5:5.00 (up to 5 kg 4.50 EUR, from 5 kg 5.00 EUR). If the field is empty, the price above applies.

5. Use Sort Order to set the order of the options at checkout; a lower number appears higher.

6. In the Collection Point Selection at Checkout group, leave Require a Selected Pickup Point set to Yes: a customer cannot place the order without choosing a pickup point. Show a Map of Collection Points shows a map below the search box. The two fields below it (Map Tile URL and Map Attribution) set where the map is loaded from; we set them up for you. Use the Collection Point as the Shipping Address means the order, the confirmation e-mail and the packing slip show the chosen pickup point as the delivery address; the customer's own address stays as the billing address.

   

7. Click Save Config.

Set up free delivery above a certain amount with a cart rule, as for other delivery methods.

2. What the customer sees

1. At checkout, under the delivery method, they see your option names with prices.

2. When they choose collection, a search box opens below it: they type a town, street or postcode and choose a point from the list (name, address, distance). The list only shows the type of point that matches the chosen option.

3. The chosen point is saved on the order. They can change it with the change button until they place the order.

The list of pickup points is refreshed automatically from Pošta Slovenije, so you never need to enter new points.

3. The pickup point on the order

Sales › Orders › (order)

An order with collection has a Posta Slovenije Collection Point section with the name, address, post office, point code, date chosen, submission status (PS status) and a Show on map link. In the order grid, you can switch on the Pickup point and PS status columns under Columns.
