Czech Couriers for OpenCart — Zásilkovna (Packeta) and Česká pošta

Czech Couriers is a shipping module for OpenCart 4, 3 and 2.3 that connects the two main Czech delivery options: Zásilkovna (Packeta) and Česká pošta. The buyer picks a pick-up point, a Z-BOX, a post office, a Balíkovna point or home delivery right at checkout, and you create the shipment, print the label and follow the status from the order page. It works on your own keys, with no middleman and no monthly platform.

In the admin the module is called “Packeta (Zásilkovna) & Česká pošta”. Admin and storefront in English and Czech.

What the buyer sees

The checkout shows four methods: Packeta home delivery, Packeta pick-up point or Z-BOX, Česká pošta Balík Do ruky (to the address) and Česká pošta Balíkovna (post office, Balíkovna partner point or BOX). A Packeta point is picked in the official Packeta map; a Balíkovna point in a list searched by town, street or post code, diacritics optional, with the buyer’s town first. Without a point the order cannot be placed, and the order delivery address becomes the point address.

What the admin gets

The order page gets a Packeta & Česká pošta panel: create a shipment, PDF label, status refresh and cancel. Cash on delivery (dobírka) goes in the destination currency: whole crowns for Czechia, EUR for Slovakia. A point can be set by hand, and a shipment can also be created for an order with another shipping method. The buyer gets an e-mail with the shipment number and the tracking link, and the order history gets a record.

The shipment list in Sales shows every order with its carrier, point and status, with “Without shipment” and “On the way” filters. Settings are split into tabs: delivery methods, Packeta, Česká pošta, shipments, automation and licence.

How it works, step by step

1. You enter the Packeta keys and/or the Česká pošta contract data and check the connection.
2. You download the Balíkovna list and switch on the methods you need with their prices.
3. The buyer picks home delivery or a point at checkout.
4. You create the shipment and print the label from the order page.
5. The buyer gets the shipment number and the tracking link by e-mail.

Under the hood

• One shared library for OpenCart 4, 3 and 2.3.
• A Packeta point is confirmed by Packeta’s server: the name and address come from its answer, not from the browser.
• The Balíkovna list (over 15,000 points) is stored in its own table and refreshed daily by cron.
• Česká pošta requests are signed the B2B API way (CP-HMAC-SHA256).
• Passwords and secret keys are stored encrypted.
• Settings survive uninstalling and reinstalling the module.
