Swiss Post shipping work before and after this connector

Without the connector by hand

  1. Retype every delivery address into the Swiss Post shipping portal.
  2. Download labels from the carrier site and match them to the right order.
  3. Copy tracking numbers back into Odoo one order at a time.
  4. Check a spreadsheet for a shipping price before confirming a quotation.
  5. Search the carrier portal by hand when a customer asks where a parcel is.

With the connector automatic

  1. Validating the delivery order sends the shipment details to Swiss Post.
  2. The label comes back and stays attached to that delivery order.
  3. The tracking number is saved on the delivery order with the label.
  4. The delivery method prices the order from your fixed rate or your rules.
  5. You press the tracking button and the Swiss Post page for that parcel opens.

Set up Swiss Post as a delivery method

Your team picks Swiss Post the same way it picks any other carrier in Odoo. You create a delivery method for the Swiss Post service you ship with, so warehouse staff choose it on a quotation or a delivery order instead of opening the carrier portal. The same screen holds the account you connected, and you can register more than one Swiss Post account in the database.

Charge one fixed shipping price

When your shipping price is a flat amount, this is the quickest option to set up. You choose the fixed price computation on the Swiss Post delivery method and type the amount you charge customers. Odoo then adds that amount as the delivery line, so quotations and orders carry a shipping cost your team agreed on rather than a figure someone looks up.

Price shipping with your own rules

Rules let one Swiss Post delivery method cover small parcels and heavy pallets. You add pricing rules to the method and the matching rule decides what the customer pays. Because live Swiss Post rate lookups are not part of the service, you keep full control over the numbers and can mirror the margins your business already works with.

Show the shipping cost on the order

Your sales team sees the delivery amount before the customer confirms. On the sales order you select the Swiss Post delivery method and ask for the rate, and Odoo adds the shipping line from the fixed price you set. The customer gets a total that already includes delivery, and nobody has to edit the order later.

Labels created at delivery validation

Packing gets faster because the paperwork is ready when the picking is done. Validating the delivery order in Odoo asks Swiss Post for the shipment, and the label comes back attached to that order together with the tracking number. Your team prints and sticks it, and the order already shows which parcel belongs to which customer.

Open parcel status on the Swiss Post portal

When a customer calls about a parcel, you answer from the delivery order. The tracking button on the order takes you straight to the official Swiss Post tracking page for that shipment, so nobody searches for the number or logs in somewhere else. It works for domestic Swiss parcels and for cross-border shipments alike.

How to connect Swiss Post to Odoo

  1. Install and add your account

    Install the Swiss Post connector on Odoo 17.0, 18.0, 19.0 or 20.0, then register the Swiss Post account details you ship under. Databases that ship for several brands can hold more than one account.

  2. Create a Swiss Post delivery method

    Add a delivery method for Swiss Post and name it after the service your team sells, for example a domestic or a cross-border option. Pick the carrier on the method so orders use the right service.

  3. Decide what customers pay

    Choose a fixed amount on the delivery method, or add pricing rules so the charge follows the order. Live Swiss Post rates are not retrieved, so the figures stay the ones you entered.

  4. Validate a delivery and print

    Pick and validate a delivery order that uses the Swiss Post method. The label and the tracking number appear on that order, ready to print and hand to the driver.

Questions before you buy

No. Real-time rate retrieval from Swiss Post is not available, so the connector prices delivery from what you configure in Odoo. You either set one fixed amount on the delivery method or add pricing rules that decide the charge per order. That keeps the shipping figure on your quotations predictable and under your control.

Yes. You can set up several Swiss Post accounts in your Odoo database and use them side by side. That suits companies that ship under different contracts or for separate brands. Each delivery method points at the account it belongs to, so labels are created under the right Swiss Post agreement.

It runs on Odoo Enterprise, both on-premise and on Odoo.sh, and on Odoo Community. Odoo Online does not allow third-party apps to be installed, so the connector cannot be used there. We ship the module for Odoo 17.0, 18.0, 19.0 and 20.0, and each Odoo version is released as its own app version.

Yes. The connector handles domestic Swiss deliveries and cross-border shipments, and you can create a separate delivery method for each type of service you sell. Local and international orders then follow the pricing you configured for that method, and both get a label and a tracking number at validation.

The label is produced as part of validating the delivery order and stays attached to it, next to the tracking number. Your team opens the delivery order, prints the label and applies it to the parcel. Nothing has to be downloaded from the Swiss Post portal and matched to an order afterwards.

Each shipped delivery order carries its tracking number, and the tracking button opens the official Swiss Post tracking page for that parcel in one click. Your team checks the status there and answers the customer without searching for the number. The number also stays on the order as a record of the shipment.
