Why It Matters: Stop Wasting Time on Manual Shipping
Are you tired of manually copying and pasting customer addresses into the ELTA Courier portal for every single order? This repetitive task is not only time-consuming but also a major source of costly shipping errors. Studies show that manual data entry can have an error rate as high as 4%, meaning up to 4 out of every 100 shipments could go to the wrong address, leading to customer complaints, lost products, and wasted shipping fees.
This plugin eliminates that risk entirely. By automating the creation of vouchers and labels, you can reduce fulfillment time by an estimated 90%. For a store processing just 20 orders a day, this can translate to saving over 5 hours of manual work every week. This reclaimed time allows you to focus on what truly matters: marketing, customer service, and growing your business.

FAQ
Does this plugin require a contract with ELTA Courier?
Yes, to use this plugin, you must have an active business account and API credentials provided by ELTA Courier. The plugin uses these credentials to connect to their system for creating vouchers, tracking shipments, and printing labels. You can contact ELTA Courier's business services department to set up an account if you don't have one.
Can I create shipping labels for international orders?
This plugin is specifically designed for the services offered by ELTA Courier, which primarily operates within Greece. While ELTA offers some international services, the plugin's core functionality is optimized for domestic shipments. Please check the plugin documentation or contact the developer for the most current information on international shipping support.
Is it possible to print labels in bulk for multiple orders at once?
Absolutely. One of the key features of this plugin is the ability to process orders in bulk. From your WooCommerce "Orders" page, you can select multiple orders and use the bulk actions dropdown to "Create & Print Vouchers" for all of them simultaneously. This is a massive time-saver for stores with high order volumes.
What happens if I make a mistake and need to cancel a voucher?
The plugin provides functionality to manage your created vouchers directly from the order edit screen. In most cases, you can cancel a generated voucher through the plugin's interface as long as the package has not yet been processed by ELTA Courier. This action communicates with the ELTA API to void the shipping label, preventing incorrect charges.
