What Balíkobot is and how it works

Balíkobot is a Czech shipping automation tool that acts as a single connection between your e-shop and carriers. Instead of integrating separately with Packeta, PPL, DPD and other carriers, you connect once to Balíkobot, and through its API it gives you access to more than 30 carriers and around 250 shipping services at once – in the Czech Republic, in Slovakia and worldwide.

The principle is simple. Balíkobot sits between your e-shop and the carriers as an intermediary: it receives the order data from Shopify, passes it to the right carrier, returns the shipping label and tracking number, and then keeps an eye on the shipment's status. You keep working in one place and don't have to worry about changes to individual carriers' interfaces or APIs – Balíkobot takes care of keeping the connections up to date. It's no coincidence that thousands of e-shops use this technology today and that it's integrated into more than 120 systems.

Why connect Balíkobot to Shopify in particular

Shopify excels at selling, but out of the box it doesn't cater for the Czech and Slovak shipping ecosystem. Packeta, pickup points, cash on delivery, PPL ParcelShops or printing labels in the Czech format – you have to add all of this to Shopify yourself. Balíkobot is the ideal partner for the job, because it covers all local delivery with a single connection.

No more manual retyping. Orders flow into fulfillment automatically, without copying addresses and without the typos that lead to returned parcels.
Shipping up to 3× faster. Bulk processing and one-click label printing cut the time needed by tens of percent.
Fewer errors and happier customers. The right address, the right carrier and an automatic tracking number mean fewer complaints.
One admin. You handle all your shipping right in Shopify, not in five different carrier portals.
Scalability. Whether you ship ten or a thousand parcels a day, the process stays just as fast.

How the Balíkobot integration with Shopify works

From the e-shop owner's point of view, the principle is refreshingly simple. The connection is built on API keys: Balíkobot gives you login credentials (an API user and an API key), which are linked to your Shopify store once. From then on, the two platforms communicate with each other automatically.

A typical shipping day then looks like this:

A customer completes an order in your Shopify e-shop and chooses a delivery method.
The order appears in your Shopify admin with all the shipping details.
With one click (or in bulk for several orders at once), you generate the shipping label.
Balíkobot passes the data to the carrier and returns a tracking number, which is assigned to the order.
Thanks to the tracking feature, the shipment status updates automatically – both you and your customer can follow it in real time.

All of this runs without having to log into individual carriers' systems and without manual exports.

What the Balíkobot integration with Shopify lets you do

One-click label printing. You print shipping labels in bulk right from your Shopify admin, without switching between carrier portals.

Full carrier support. The integration gives you access to the complete list of carriers supported by Balíkobot – from standard home delivery to pickup points and ParcelShops.

Pickup points right in the order. At checkout, the customer chooses a specific branch or locker, and this information travels automatically all the way to the carrier.

Real-time data synchronization. Shipment information flows between Shopify and Balíkobot in both directions, including order status changes.

Shipping that's tens of percent faster. Automation and bulk processing mean more shipments handled in less time.

Custom extensions. Do you have a specific shipping workflow? We'll fine-tune the integration to match your processes exactly.

Which carriers you get with Balíkobot on Shopify

One of the biggest advantages is instant access to an entire network of carriers. Through Balíkobot, you can connect Shopify to carriers including:

Packeta – pickup points and Z-BOX lockers, today the most widely used delivery method in the Czech Republic.
PPL – home delivery and a network of ParcelShops.
DPD – home delivery and Pickup points.
GLS – domestic and international shipping.
Czech Post – Balík Do ruky (home delivery), Balík Na poštu (post office collection) and NP Point.
DHL and other international carriers for expanding abroad.

This means you don't have to settle for a single carrier. Offering more delivery options is one of the most effective ways to reduce cart abandonment at checkout.

Step by step: how to connect Balíkobot to Shopify

Set up a Balíkobot account and get your API credentials (API user and API key).
Order the integration and book an initial consultation, where we'll go through your e-shop and delivery methods.
We connect Shopify to Balíkobot using your API keys and set up carriers, pickup points and label printing.
We test the entire process – from creating an order through printing the label to tracking the shipment.
We go live and hand over a user guide. We continue to maintain and update the integration.

If you're only just building a new store, we recommend sorting out shipping as part of building your e-shop on Shopify.

How much the Balíkobot integration costs and how quickly it pays off

Our ready-made Balíkobot integration for Shopify is available for CZK 3,400 incl. VAT (CZK 2,810 excl. VAT) and is rated 4.9/5 by customers. The price includes connecting your e-shop to Balíkobot, setting up label printing, order status synchronization and support.

An investment like this tends to pay off quickly. Companies that automate their shipping with Balíkobot usually recoup the costs within one to four months. The more parcels you ship per day, the sooner the integration pays for itself.

Balíkobot, or connecting each carrier separately?

Some merchants consider connecting individual carriers directly. With one carrier and low volumes, that makes sense. But as soon as you want to offer more delivery options, managing multiple integrations by hand gets expensive – each carrier has its own system, its own updates and its own outages. Balíkobot hides all that complexity behind a single interface and takes care of maintaining the connections for you.

What to watch out for during integration

Offer more carriers, but avoid chaos. Two to four well-chosen delivery options convert better than ten confusing ones.
Test pickup points at checkout. Choosing a branch has to be smooth on mobile too.
Keep an eye on order statuses. Automatic status synchronization saves your customers from having to ask “where's my parcel?”
Think about going international. If you're planning to expand, choose international carriers from the start as well.
