Integration with Ukrposhta for a website and online store
A Ukrposhta integration gives the store delivery to post offices all over the country, including small towns and villages. The buyer enters an address or a postal code, and the store gets the data for the shipment without retyping it. This option makes sense when customers live in villages and small towns with few other branches. We confirm the cost and weight limits with the service before work begins.
- a choice of post office by postal code or locality;
- address fields: region, district, locality, street, building;
- a choice of the shipment type available under the contract;
- transfer of the recipient's details to the shipment;
- barcode tracking with the status in the order;
- cash on delivery under the terms of the contract with the carrier.
Ukrposhta integration: who it suits and what buyers look for
Ukrposhta has an extensive network of branches all over the country, so Ukrposhta delivery for an online store is needed by those who sell to the regions and villages. The buyer is used to entering the post office's postal code and checks whether the store offers the postal service they know.
The store owner needs the integration so that the recipient's address, phone number and name go into the shipment from the order. The query Ukrposhta integration with a website often comes up when the products are lightweight and customers live outside big cities. A buyer in a village often does not know the exact name of the branch, so suggestions by postal code and locality reduce the number of address errors.
What the Ukrposhta integration includes
- an address form with region, district, locality, street and postal code;
- a check of the postal code and the branch at checkout;
- a choice of shipment type from those available under your contract;
- creation of the shipment from the order data;
- barcode tracking and statuses in the order card;
- cash on delivery and tracking of returns;
- pricing rules by weight and delivery method.
On Horoshop, Ukrposhta is one of the built-in delivery integrations. For WordPress and custom websites we select a module or write a connection to the service API.
How we work on connecting Ukrposhta
First we gather the requirements: which shipment types you need, which weight categories make up your product range and whether you need cash on delivery. Next we ask for access to the Ukrposhta personal account and the keys for the connection; the business owner signs the contract with the service, and we tell you what data is usually needed. Then we set up the address fields, pricing rules and statuses. Before launch we go through several real orders: to a city, to a village, with and without cash on delivery. A basic connection takes a few working days.
Cost of the Ukrposhta integration
We calculate the price of the integration after a free consultation, because it depends on the platform and the set of scenarios. If you need a new store, its launch on Horoshop or WordPress starts from $500; the formats are described in the online store development and template website sections. We check Ukrposhta's rates, weight limits and return rules against the service's current terms before work begins. To book a consultation, go to the Contacts page.
Questions and answers

The postal code identifies the branch and helps avoid address errors. The field can offer suggestions so that the buyer does not have to type it by hand.
Can Ukrposhta be added alongside other carriers?
Yes, the buyer chooses the delivery method on the checkout page, and the pricing rules for each carrier are set up separately.
How long will the connection take?
Usually a few working days after we get access to the account. Complex scenarios, for example separate warehouses, take more time.
