Preview:
Shipping class costs
Configuring a shipping class allows us to group products when it comes to prices. We create a shipping class, which we can assign to a specific item(s) in the product settings.
We can add as many shipping classes as we want.
Class creation:
You need to create shipping classes on the tab WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping classes → Add shipping class
Configuring in the delivery method:
WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Zone
In a given form of delivery, such as InPost Parcel Locker® 24/7, you need to specify what shipping costs will be in a particular class
Priority of calculation of delivery price:
if the free delivery threshold is reached then - free delivery
2. if the free delivery threshold is not reached - we take the price for the delivery class
3. if the delivery class is not specified - then the settings of our plugin (flat rate or price from the table against the size/weight)
Configuration in the product:
Moving to a specific product, you need to set in the Shipping tab which shipping class it should belong to
InPost Locker Economy
Products ordered through the provided InPost Paczkomat® Economy Parcel service get an attractive delivery price. Receiving economy parcels from Paczkomat® InPost is the safest way to carry out online orders, especially with the remote opening of the box through the InPost Mobile application

Solutions to problems
An error occurred while connecting to the API
One of the reasons for the above error is when the data provided in the place of Organization ID and Token is incorrect - or the data provided does not apply to the API Type: Sandbox (Sandbox and Production are two separate environments and have different organization IDs)
After each modification of the token or organization ID, save the settings (only then the authorization data is verified)
This error can also appear when the store's connection to the API is blocked - either on the server side of the store (you should verify this state in your hosting) or on our side. In this case, please contact us via our form https://inpost.pl/formularz-wsparcie
Creating a parcel - Selected offer
In the order when creating a shipment in the status instead of tracking number appears Status: offer selected
This means that the shipment has not been created
Possible reasons:
Lack of funds in the account in Parcel Manager (for Prepaid customers)
No bank account number in Manager Parcels
In case of courier service, no attached courier contract in Parcel Manager
Error regarding recipient data - post code
Geowidget - no access
When the shopping cart in Geowidget shows the error "No access, check if the token has been generated for the correct site" you need to re-generate the token for Geowidget in Parcel Manager but specifying the correct store site address. The error is related to providing an incorrect store URL.
No deliveries in the InPost shopping cart
No services in the product
InPost services must be added in a specific product:
You can also add InPost services to all products at once:
Delivery method 'Free Delivery'
This method in WooCommerce causes that when it meets the condition and can be displayed in the shopping cart next to the product, it removes all other available delivery methods.

No button- "Select Parcel Locker"
