To start using Latvian Post, a business contract must be signed with this shipping provider. If you don't have one yet, contact Latvian Post yourself. Latvian Post is available to all Latvian merchants and sending from Latvia.
Through direct contract, you can use both the parcel machine and the courier method.
If you don't want to make your direct contract, then you can also use the prices by Montonio for shipping with Latvian Post - read more about it here.

1. Find your Latvian Post API key from your email or ask your Latvian Post account manager. Be sure to mention you need it to use Montonio's Shipping plugin.
2. Go to our Partner System --> Go to the Home page from the left-hand menu --> Choose the store from the drop-down menu.

If you want to turn on free returns for customers, you need to ask Latvian Post to enable it for the account - then there will be a return code in the SMS for every shipment.

Default locker size
By default the locker size is XS, but you can easily change it in the settings based on your needs.
The default locker size is only necessary when sending cross-baltic as Latvian Post collaborates with Unisend to offer better coverage.
