Integrating Econt with WooCommerce is an essential step for any online store in Bulgaria. Automatic shipping calculation, cash on delivery and shipment tracking save hours of manual work every day.

In short: A proper Econt integration automates shipping calculation, cash on delivery and waybill generation directly from WooCommerce.

What Does the Econt API Integration Do?

  • Automatically calculates shipping cost based on weight, dimensions and destination
  • Displays Econt offices in checkout with a map picker
  • Cash on delivery — automatically sends the collection amount
  • Generates waybill with one click from the admin panel
  • Shipment tracking — automatically sent to the customer

Two Integration Methods

1. Plugin (easier, more limited)

There are several WooCommerce plugins for Econt — free and paid. Easy to install, but with limited flexibility for specific needs (non-standard weights, combined orders, B2B pricing).

2. Custom API Integration (recommended)
