Key points

What the buyer sees

Checkout gets four methods: The Courier Guy to the door, The Courier Guy locker (Pudo lockers, kiosks and Pudo points), Pargo pickup point and Pargo to the door.

What the admin gets

On the order page you create a waybill in one click: an A4 PDF or stickers for The Courier Guy, a label link for Pargo.

How much it costs

The base version is free. Pro costs 890 UAH, a one-year licence. A year of updates, support and every Pro feature.

The trial starts when you ask

A fresh install is the free version, nothing switches on by itself. The “Try Pro for 7 days” button → e-mail → the key right in the window and by e-mail.

One key — a site and a staging copy

Moving the site? Unlink the licence on the old domain and activate it on the new one yourself. A staging copy (staging., dev.) works with the same key and does not take a site slot. For studios — keys for 5 or 25 sites, or unlimited.

  • WordPress 6.2+, WooCommerce 7.0+, PHP 7.4+.
  • A The Courier Guy account (Ship Logic API key) and/or Pargo API access.

Full module description

South Africa Couriers connects The Courier Guy and Pargo to WooCommerce on your own keys: door delivery and pickup points chosen at checkout, a waybill from the order, labels, tracking and cancelling. No monthly platform and no reseller margin.

The Courier Guy works through the Ship Logic API, Pargo through its own API. English interface.

What the buyer sees

Checkout gets four methods: The Courier Guy to the door, The Courier Guy locker (Pudo lockers, kiosks and Pudo points), Pargo pickup point and Pargo to the door. For points the buyer searches by city or suburb and sees the address and opening hours; without a point the order does not go through, and the buyer address stays as it is. Cash on delivery is available at Pargo points only.

What the admin gets

On the order page you create a waybill in one click: an A4 PDF or stickers for The Courier Guy, a label link for Pargo. The Courier Guy status refreshes with a button, and the waybill can be cancelled. A courier refusal is shown as plain text in the order and its notes. The tracking link goes to the order and the buyer e-mails.

How it works, step by step

  1. You enter the sender address and The Courier Guy and/or Pargo keys.
  2. You add the methods to a WooCommerce shipping zone for South Africa.
  3. The buyer picks door delivery or a point at checkout.
  4. You create the waybill and print the label from the order.
  5. Tracking goes to the order and the e-mails.

Under the hood

  • Requests go straight to the couriers, not through our server.
  • Keys and passwords are stored encrypted.
  • Points are cached for a day, so checkout does not ask the courier every time.
  • The courier error text is shown as is, so you see straight away which field to fix.

How to install

  1. Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin: pick the zip and activate.
  2. WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping: add the methods to a zone.
  3. Enter the keys and the sender address, then check the connection.
  4. Create a shipment on a test order.
  5. For Pro: paste the key or start the 7-day trial.

The plugin is not on wordpress.org yet: the free version and Pro are the same archive from this page. Without a key it works as the free version.
