Lindyship vs OrderKrab for WooCommerce

Lindyship is the bridge between your SureCart store and your shipping platform. Push orders manually from the Orders tab to your platform’s incoming queue. When you ship the parcel, the tracking number comes straight back to SureCart and the built-in fulfillment email fires with no copy-pasting tracking numbers. Supported platforms Sendcloud: push to parcel queue, HMAC webhook, tracking writeback Shippo: push to orders queue, HMAC webhook, tracking writeback ShipStation: push to orders queue, HMAC webhook, tracking writeback Packlink PRO: push to shipment queue, secret-token webhook, tracking writeback How it works A customer completes a paid order in your SureCart store. You push the order manually from the Orders tab to your chosen shipping platform. You process the shipment inside that platform’s dashboard. Lindyship does not generate labels or compare rates. The platform sends a tracking webhook back to your site. The plugin writes the tracking number to SureCart and marks the order as fulfilled. Key features Single platform selection: choose one shipping platform to connect with. Manual push: push orders individually from the Orders tab when you’re ready to ship. Automatic retry: failed pushes are retried up to 3 times over 24 hours before being marked permanently failed. Sync log: every push attempt, webhook delivery, and tracking writeback is recorded with full HTTP request/response capture available for debugging. Diagnostics tab: one-click health checks for PHP, OpenSSL, SureCart connection, DB table, cron schedule, sender address, and webhook reachability. Test push: send a synthetic order end-to-end to verify your credentials and webhook without a real customer. Credentials encrypted at rest: all API keys and secrets are AES-256 encrypted in the database. What this plugin does NOT do It does not generate shipping labels, compare carrier rates, or provide a checkout rate widget. All of that lives inside your shipping platform’s dashboard. This plugin is purely the data bridge. External services This plugin connects to external shipping platform APIs in order to push order data and receive tracking updates. All communication happens server-to-server; no customer data is sent to the plugin author’s servers.

OrderKrab for WooCommerce is a thin integration between WooCommerce and the OrderKrab fulfillment platform. It lets a WooCommerce store offer carrier-driven shipping rates and parcel locker selection at checkout, then keeps order state in sync with OrderKrab as the order moves through fulfillment. What it does Adds a shipping method that returns rates from the OrderKrab API, including parcel locker pricing per carrier. Renders a parcel locker search field at checkout (native or Shopify-style block). Syncs newly created and updated WooCommerce orders to OrderKrab. Provides an hourly batch reconciliation for any orders that didn’t sync in real time. Receives webhooks from OrderKrab for order, product, and connection status updates. Embeds the hosted OrderKrab return portal on any page — via a Gutenberg block or the [orderkrab_return_portal] shortcode — so customers can register returns without leaving the store. Emails customers their return shipping label as a real WooCommerce email when a return is approved in OrderKrab, and records the return on the order. Who it’s for Stores that already use (or plan to use) the OrderKrab fulfillment platform to manage shipping with carriers like DPD, LP Express, Omniva, InPost, FedEx, DHL, and others. External services This plugin connects to the OrderKrab API (https://api.orderkrab.com) — the configured base URL is shown in the plugin’s Connection settings and can be overridden by store administrators. What is sent and when: When a customer reaches checkout, the plugin sends the shipping destination (country, postcode, city) and cart contents to OrderKrab to retrieve available shipping methods and prices. When a customer searches for a parcel locker, the plugin sends the search query plus destination country/city to OrderKrab to retrieve matching locker locations. When an order is created or updated in WooCommerce, the plugin sends the order details (line items, shipping address, totals, selected shipping method) to OrderKrab so fulfillment can be coordinated. The plugin authenticates each request using an access token that the store administrator pastes into the plugin’s Connection tab. When a visitor opens a page containing the return portal block or shortcode, their browser loads the hosted OrderKrab return portal (https://returns.orderkrab.com) in an iframe. The store’s portal token, the display language, and any theme colors configured under OrderKrab → Returns are passed as URL parameters so the portal can identify the store and match its styling. Why an external service is required: carrier rate calculation, parcel locker availability lookups, and label/tracking generation depend on real-time data from carriers, which is aggregated by OrderKrab and cannot be performed locally by the plugin.
