Here is guidance on how to set up shipping solution through Montonio, what you need to have, and to do for that.
1. Business contracts signed with shipping providers
To start using our shipping module, you have to have signed business contracts with specific shipping providers.
Here are providers self-service pages, where you can start an agreement with them:
Itella - https://itella.ee/ariklient/
2. How to activate Shipping service in the Partner System
When the contract/s are signed, you have to activate the service in the Partner System
Log in to Partner System
Go to your "Stores" section from the left-side menu
Click on your store and click on "Go to Products"
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Activate"
And one more time "Activate"
3. How to set up Shipping Providers
Setting up providers means that you connect specific providers with Montonio.

Shipping provider settings - DPD
Here is an example of how it works:
Turn on DPD delivery (the button should be green and show "Enabled").
Enter your DPD username and password - the same username and password you use to log in to the DPD website (telli.dpd.ee).
Make sure the login details you entered are correct and click "Save". If the login details are correct, a green notification will appear on the right of the screen.

WooCommerce
Navigate to the WordPress admin view of your store → Select WooCommerce → "Settings" → "Montonio Shipping" from the menu.
Click on "API Settings" in the top left and add your store's Montonio API keys. This step can be skipped if you're already using our payments and API keys are added and green.
You can find the API keys in the Partner System - here is step-by-step guide How to Find API Keys for Integration
Navigate back to the "Shipping" tab and tick the "Enable Montonio shipping" checkbox.
Select which status should be used when the label is printed, for example printing a label can automatically put your orders into "Completed" status.
Add "Sender's information" that we will use when creating the shipments. The added information must be correct, otherwise, there may be an error when generating the parcel label for the suppliers. This means that the address and postcode must match and the telephone number must not be incorrect.
Remember to "Save changes" at the end of the settings to fully enable Montonio Shipping.
Adding shipping methods to your checkout
After integrating the Montonio Shipping plugin to your store platform, you also need to add shipping methods to your checkout according to what you wish to offer to the customers.
