WooCommerce GO4 Connector allows you to transfer transport requests from your e-shop to the GO4 express courier service once or at regular intervals. If the e-shop customer chooses the GO4 courier service in his order, the WooCommerce GO4 Connector plugin sends all necessary data about the shipment to the GO4 (consignee and its address, shipment weight, cash on delivery price) and you no longer have to fill in manually. separate shipping order for GO4. Shipping labels can be printed directly from the e-shop.
The plugin also offers e-shop customers the opportunity to choose the delivery date of the shipment through the so-called time windows. This service must also be activated on the GO4 side.

Video tutorial for configuration plugin
Video tutorial for exporting requests for delivery
