Across most of Europe, parcels do not go to the doorstep — they go to a locker or a pickup point. And that is exactly where Shopify stores stumble: the platform has no native concept of a pickup point, so the most common European delivery method looks impossible. It is not. You need one app and your own carrier contracts — and since we build this kind of fulfillment all the time, we wrote down how it all fits together.
Let's be clear about what "the whole fulfillment" means: the customer picks a pickup point, you print the label, hand the parcels to the carrier, the order marks itself as fulfilled and the customer receives tracking. Plus cash on delivery, popular in Central Europe, that reconciles itself once the parcel is collected. All from the Shopify admin, without hopping into carrier systems.
We built Globe for this, and pickup point selection deliberately exists in four places — because every store runs a different plan and serves different customers:
Altogether there are over 5 million pickup points from 65+ carriers across 180+ countries on offer — DHL lockers and service points, InPost Paczkomaty, Mondial Relay, PostNord, Packeta and dozens more. And if you run your own stores or lockers, they can go on the map too.
Most pickup-point apps stop at the map. Globe also prints the labels: DPD, GLS, UPS, Packeta, PPL, Magyar Posta, FoxPost and One by Allegro are among the 15 carriers Globe prints labels for directly through their APIs — in bulk from the orders overview, or one by one. Carriers without a direct integration, DHL and InPost included, are handed their orders via a configurable CSV/XLS export into the carrier's own system. And printing works for home delivery too, not just pickup points.
The key phrase is "your own contracts": labels print on your carrier account, so you keep your own negotiated prices, pickups and invoicing. The app does not resell transport, does not mark it up and takes no percentage of it.
And if you have no contracts of your own — or volumes too small to negotiate good rates for — labels can also be printed through Boxpi by GymBeam: a platform with pre-negotiated carrier rates across 16 European countries that often beat a direct contract.
If you want, automate step one as well: with Shopify Flow, labels can be created automatically when an order is paid, and orders can have the nearest pickup point assigned for them.
Cash on delivery travels on the label including the amount and currency, and with selected carriers the order marks itself as paid once the parcel is collected. If you want to charge a COD fee at checkout, that is our other app, Payflow — Globe deliberately stays out of payment-method fees.
One flat fee: $15 per month ($30 on Shopify Plus), with two months free on annual billing. It includes an unlimited number of orders, labels and carriers — no credits, no per-parcel surcharges. The first 14 days are a free trial.
It is worth doing the math: with fulfillment tools priced per shipment, costs grow with every order. A flat fee means you pay the same in peak season as in January.
You need three things to launch:
Pickup points themselves work within minutes of installing; with COD and mapping, plan for an hour. Globe has documentation and in-app support in seven languages — and a 5.0 rating from 116 reviews on the Shopify App Store.
If you are still planning pickup-point delivery — perhaps entering a European market where lockers are the default — get in touch, we do this all the time.
No. Globe costs $15 per month ($30 on Shopify Plus) and includes an unlimited number of orders, labels and carriers. Shipping itself you pay to the carrier under your own contract — the app does not resell or mark up transport.
No. The map widget in the cart works on every Shopify plan, with no code changes. Shopify Plus is only needed for picking a point directly in checkout; on the Advanced plan you can additionally offer the nearest points as separate shipping rates.
Fifteen carriers have a direct API integration — among them DPD, GLS, UPS, Packeta, PPL, Magyar Posta, FoxPost and One by Allegro. For carriers without a direct integration, such as DHL or InPost, Globe offers pickup points at checkout and hands the orders over via a configurable export to the carrier's own system.
Express payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay) can skip the shipping step. Three safeguards handle it: picking a point on the thank-you page right after purchase, an automatic reminder email, and a validation rule that stops an order without a point from leaving checkout at all.
Vocato adds every customer's name-day date and a correctly declined greeting to metafields. One segment and one Flow later, congratulations send themselves — every year. A short how-to for the Czech, Slovak and Polish markets.
The lowest price of the last 30 days is calculated from your price history, not from what marketing wishes for. The yo-yo effect, never-ending sales and bundles with a crossed-out sum — what we deal with most often, and how to get it right.
From June 19, 2026, every online store selling to EU consumers must offer a clearly visible "withdrawal button". We explain exactly what the law requires, who it applies to, the penalties for non-compliance, and how to handle it on Shopify – from free native tools through vetted apps to a login-free form.
