Project Scope
InPost Italy approached us with the request to create a Magento module that e-commerce businesses can add to their stores. After adding it, their e-commerce clients would get the chance to choose InPost as a shipping method.
The Forbytes team studied the requirements and created the extension from scratch. Merchants can install and configure the module, check and change shipment details, track order status, choose package size, and disable or enable the extension by region.
The extension is integrated into the store’s back-end as well as front-end. After a user chooses InPost as a shipping method, the InPost widget is displayed on the front-end side. Using the widget, the customer enters shipping details and completes the order.
On the backend side, the module connects to the admin panel via API and helps keep the order’s data in sync between the two systems, InPost and Magento. The orders completed with the help of the module are automatically synchronized in Magento’s admin panel.
