Wolt Drive for WooCommerce

Shipping Method Setup

The Wolt Drive shipping method is the main important interaction with the plugin. The plugin supports multiple instances of a Wolt Drive shipping method, and can be highly configured for a great amount of purposes.

For example, multiple shipping method instances can be used, each one corresponding to a physical venue address.

Creating the Wolt Drive Shipping Method

  1. On the admin dashboard, navigate to WooCommerce / Settings / Shipping / Shipping zones.
  2. Choose your shipping zone that the shipping method will apply to. Press Edit.
  3. Press Add shipping method.
  4. A modal should appear. On the modal, select Wolt Drive and press Continue.
  5. The Wolt Drive Shipping Method configuration form should appear. Fill in the required fields.
    • Title - A string of text that the customer will see on the Cart and Checkout pages.
    • Venue Address - The full address of your venue (physical store). This should match with the venue address that Wolt has registered you as.
    • Minimum preparation time in minutes - The time to prepare a new order. This is the time in minutes before the Wolt courier receives a notification for pickup.
    • Cost - The shipping cost is always automatically calculated by Wolt Drive. If you prefer, you can override this price with your own.
    • Order creation configuration - This option configures the behaviour of the integration. The 3 options, Manual orders, As soon as possible and Scheduled orders are described below.
    • Allow scheduling when venue is closed - Check to allow customers to make purchaes with Wolt Drive when the venue is closed. Applies only for as soon as possible orders, and will show a date and time picker on the checkout screen whenever the venue is outside of working hours.
    • Venue working days and hours - Configures when the venue is open or closed. This can enable/disable dates or times in the frontend, or disable the shipping method altogether at specific days/times.
  6. Press Create and Save.

Order creation configuration

The Wolt Drive shipping method

The Order creation configuration setting field determines the behaviour of the integration, and is the main important option depending on your shop’s needs.

There are 3 options:

  • Manual orders
  • As soon as possible orders
  • Scheduled orders

Manual orders

Wolt Drive Checkout, using the manual configuration option.
The order widget, where the shop manage can manually create a new Wolt Drive order.

With Manual orders, the plugin is prevented from automatically sending orders to Wolt Drive. The end customer will still be able to choose Wolt Drive as their shipping method, along with the auto calculated shipping cost. However, whenever a new order arrives, the shop manager or the administrator must choose to send the new order to Wolt Drive.

Auto orders: As soon as possible

Wolt Drive Checkout, using the as soon as possible configuration option.
The order info widget, where the shop manager can track the Wolt Drive order.

The as soon as possible orders are always created automatically whenever a customer chooses Wolt Drive as their shipping method and completes checkout.

Auto orders: Scheduled

Wolt Drive Checkout, using the scheduled configuration option.
The order info widget, where the shop manager can track the Wolt Drive order.

With the scheduled orders, the customer will be presented with a delivery date and time picker to choose from during checkout. The Wolt Drive order is created automatically after a successful checkout.

The dates and times that are available are determined by the shipping configuration instance settings.
