The business case
Every unautomated shipping step costs staff time and introduces errors. An OpenCart store processing 50+ orders per day needs API-level integration — not copy-pasted tracking numbers.
What the integration delivers
- Automatic waybill generation when an order is confirmed
- Real-time tracking status synced to the customer account page
- Shipping cost calculation at checkout based on parcel weight and destination
- Bulk label export for warehouse staff
Technical approach
We build the integration as an OpenCart module in PHP 8.2. The module calls Ukrposhta's REST API to:
- Authenticate with a bearer token stored in store settings
- POST a new shipment record when order status changes to "Confirmed"
- GET tracking events on a scheduled cron and update order history
We store raw API responses in a dedicated ukrposhta_shipments table so you have a full audit trail and can debug any delivery dispute without contacting support.
Deployment and support
Setup takes 3–5 business days including QA on a staging environment. We document every API endpoint used so your team can maintain the integration without vendor lock-in.
