– Integrates your WooCommerce orders and delivery information from your existing couriers into a single dashboard
– Provides details of your priority, in progress and completed deliveries

How it Works

  • We understand the potential reputational risk of replacing what already works. That’s why we’ve built a complementary delivery option that runs alongside a retailer’s existing delivery service.

  • Our Gobuddy plugin will first check for a Gobuddy Transporter, if none is found for the specific delivery then the delivery will automatically be redirected to the retailers’ usual WooCommerce integrated delivery option.

  • We utilise the tracking and shipment data of the complementary delivery options to give retailers a full picture of all of their delivery data for their company, regardless of who the delivery partner was.

  • The current complementary delivery options/3rd party as a service options that we use are:
