How we connect
How is shipping connected to your store?
-
We define your needs and choose the company
We review your products, delivery areas and order volume, then you open your account with the company you choose and agree terms with it directly.
-
We connect the store to your account
We connect your store to your account with the company using the tools or integration details it provides, and set up zones and shipping rates in the store.
-
We test the order path
We run trial orders with you to check that they reach your account with the company and that their status updates in the store.
-
We go live and hand over
We switch shipping on for your customers and give you a guide to creating and following shipments, as far as the integration allows.
What we set up technically
What do we connect between your store and the shipping company?
Not every shipping company offers the same technical options: some allow a direct connection through an API or a ready-made plugin, while others rely on uploading or entering orders in their own dashboard. We set up what the company and your account allow.
- Sending order details from the store to your account with the company.
- Creating shipments from the store dashboard instead of entering them by hand.
- Updating the order status and tracking number in the store.
- Setting up cash-on-delivery collection to match the order value.
- Shipping rates by governorate or zone at checkout.
- A clear path for returns and undelivered orders.
- Messages to the customer when the order ships or its status changes.
We define what the integration includes after reviewing the company’s options and your account, and state it in the scope before we start.
Costs
Two separate costs: our work and the shipping
It helps to know the difference from the start, so shipping charges are not confused with the cost of the integration.
Our cost
You pay it to Future Web for the technical side of the integration, and we set it in the quote according to the scope.
- Connecting the store to your shipping account
- Setting up zones, shipping rates and order statuses
- Testing the order path before launch
The shipping company’s cost
You pay it to the company under your agreement with it; it does not pass through us and we do not set it.
- A cost per shipment, depending on the company and the service
- It varies with the delivery zone and the parcel’s weight
- Its details are set in your agreement with the company
Questions
Common questions
Do I need an account with the shipping company?
Yes. You open your account with the company and agree on the service and rates directly with it; we connect that account to your store.
Can more than one shipping company be connected to the store?
In many cases, yes, for example one company for domestic delivery and another for international shipping. We set this in the scope according to the platform and your orders.
Does every shipping company allow an automatic connection to the store?
Not always. Technical options differ from one company to another and from one account to another, so we review them before agreeing on the scope.
How does cash on delivery work with the shipping company?
The customer pays the courier on delivery, and the company collects the amount and transfers it to you under its terms and your agreement. We set up the store so the correct collection amount is sent with each order.
Does the integration cost include shipping charges?
No. Our cost covers the technical side only; you pay for shipments to the shipping company under your agreement with it.
Do you guarantee orders arrive on time?
We cannot guarantee that, because delivery is handled by the shipping company. Our role is to make sure the order reaches it with correct details and that you can follow its status clearly from your store.
