How to Integrate Speedy with WooCommerce — Complete Guide

How to connect Speedy with WooCommerce: delivery to address, office or locker, cash on delivery and waybills. Plugin vs custom API integration.

Speedy is one of the two most popular couriers in Bulgaria, and for many shoppers it's the reason they choose one store over another. If checkout doesn't offer delivery to a Speedy office or locker, some buyers will simply leave. Here's how to connect Speedy with WooCommerce properly.

In short: A good integration shows the real shipping price, lets customers choose address, office or locker delivery, supports cash on delivery and creates a waybill in one click from the admin.

What does the Speedy integration do?

  • Calculates shipping in real time by weight, destination and service.
  • Delivery to address, office or locker – with city and office search right in checkout.
  • Cash on delivery and postal money transfer.
  • Waybills – create, print as PDF and cancel from the order screen.
  • Courier pickup requests from the admin.
  • Free shipping above a threshold or fixed prices per delivery type.

Two ways to integrate

1. A ready-made plugin

There are WooCommerce plugins that connect to the official Speedy REST API. One example is Drusoft Shipping for Speedy on WordPress.org – it supports offices, lockers, COD and waybills, and syncs cities and offices in the background. One important limitation: it currently requires the classic checkout, not the new WooCommerce block checkout.

2. Custom API integration

A direct Speedy API connection gives you full control: pricing rules by product and weight, combined orders, running side by side with Econt, automatic waybills on status change and ERP or inventory sync.

Speedy integration steps

  1. Sign a contract with Speedy as a business client and request API access (username and password).
  2. Check your checkout – classic or block – and choose a compatible solution.
  3. Install and configure the plugin or integration: sender, pickup address, services, payment method.
  4. Set pricing rules – live Speedy rates, a fixed price or free shipping above a threshold (in euro).
  5. Set product weights. Without them, price calculation is wrong – this is the most commonly missed step.
  6. Test orders to an address, an office and a locker, with COD and card payment.
  7. Check the emails – customers should receive the waybill number for tracking.

💡 Pro tip: Offer both couriers. A store with Speedy and Econt at checkout covers almost every Bulgarian shopper's preference and reduces abandoned carts.

Frequently asked questions

Is access to the Speedy API free?
API access is provided by Speedy as a username and password for business clients with a contract. The connection itself isn't charged separately – you pay for courier services under your contract and for the plugin or development.
Can I offer Speedy and Econt at the same time?
Yes, and it's recommended – customers have a preferred courier. Both shipping methods work side by side at checkout, and with a custom integration you can even show a price comparison.
Does the plugin work with the new WooCommerce block checkout?
It depends on the plugin. Some Speedy plugins still require the classic (shortcode) checkout. Check this before installing, especially if your store is new and uses the block checkout.
How long does the integration take?
With a ready-made plugin, a few hours of setup and testing. A custom integration with special pricing rules, combined orders or ERP usually takes 1–2 weeks.
