Installation and Configuration

Setting up shipping methods

A shipping type dedicated to Mondial Relay – InPost delivery is available in WooCommerce: “Mondial Relay – InPost Official”. It lets you choose the Mondial Relay – InPost delivery mode (Relay Point®, Locker, home delivery, …), set pricing based on basket weight, offer free shipping above a basket amount, and set a packaging weight allowance per weight bracket.

You can also use WooCommerce’s native shipping method types for fixed prices (Flat Rate, Free Shipping) or add a third-party plugin for more advanced pricing options.

1. Setting up with the “Mondial Relay – InPost Official” method

Shipping zones and methods are configured in WooCommerce. From your WordPress back-office, click on the WooCommerce menu (1), then on the Shipping tab (2). Click Edit (3) on the relevant shipping zone, or create a new one with Add shipping zone.

Access to shipping zones from WooCommerce > Settings

In the zone, click Add shipping method then select Mondial Relay – InPost Official from the list (added automatically when the plugin is installed):

Add the Mondial Relay – InPost Official shipping method
Selecting the “Mondial Relay – InPost Official” method type

Then fill in the details of this shipping method:

Mondial Relay – InPost Official shipping method settings, part 1
General settings for the shipping method
  • 1 Shipping method name: the name your customers will see on the site when checking out;
  • 2 Display logo: if checked, displays the logo next to the shipping method name (Mondial Relay or InPost depending on the delivery country);
  • 3 Additional description: optional text shown under the method name (e.g. “delivery within 3 business days”);
  • 4 Offer free shipping above this amount (optional): if an amount is entered (e.g. 100), shipping is free when the customer’s basket exceeds this amount. Leave blank to disable;
  • 5 Name when shipping is free: replacement name for the shipping method, usable only with the option above (e.g. “Free relay point delivery”);
  • 6 Mondial Relay – InPost delivery mode: the delivery type to use (Relay Point®, Locker, home delivery, …). Your Mondial Relay – InPost contract must allow the chosen mode (the first four codes are always available).
    If your Mondial Relay – InPost contract allows it (not available for CC accounts) and the shipping zone covers France, a Home Delivery Security field is also displayed for HOM home delivery: see the next paragraph for more detail.

Once these settings are filled in, you just need to enter your rates:

Weight-based pricing table

7 In the Basket weight up to column, the Mondial Relay – InPost weight thresholds are entered by default (from 0 to 30 kg). You can delete or add rows; weights must always be in ascending order.

In the Packaging weight (optional) column, you can enter a packaging weight for each weight threshold. This weight is added to the basket weight before calculating the price.

In the Price column, enter the shipping rate for the corresponding weight threshold.

2. Secure home delivery (optional)

If your account is not a CC brand account and your shipping method covers France, a Home Delivery Security (France) field appears in the shipping method settings, under the Mondial Relay – InPost Delivery Mode set to Home delivery – HOM:

Home delivery security option
The « Home Delivery Security » field only appears in HOM mode

Three choices are possible: No option, With signature (a signature from the recipient is required at delivery) or With Pin Code (a code sent to the recipient must be provided to the delivery person). Check with your Mondial Relay – InPost contract that the selected option is indeed provided for: otherwise, label creation will fail.

If you want to offer multiple of these options to your customers, create one shipping method per option and name them distinctly, for example “HOM France no option”, “HOM France with signature”, “HOM France with Pin Code”.

3. Setting up with WooCommerce standard methods

WooCommerce also offers three native shipping method types: Flat Rate, Free Shipping, and Local Pickup.

The Local Pickup method is not suitable for use with the plugin, as it corresponds to a customer collecting from a fixed location.

The Free Shipping method works with the plugin and allows specific rules for when it appears (basket amount, coupon code). See the WooCommerce documentation for details.

The Flat Rate method sets a fixed price for shipping. Rate variations are possible via WooCommerce Shipping Classes. See the WooCommerce documentation for details.

4. Setting up with a third-party plugin

To manage shipping prices based on more advanced criteria than basket weight, a third-party plugin is required. Here are modules compatible with our plugin to date:
