Settings
1. Go to the Administrative panel of your store, enter the Apps > All Apps section, and choose Speedy.
2. In the first part of the settings, enter the data (Username, Password) of your contract with Speedy in the appropriate fields and press the button in the upper right corner so that the application changes to On status.
3. CloudCart will automatically fill in your company data, which Speedy gives based on the contract you signed with them. In the section Sender data, you need to specify the place where Speedy will pick up the shipments from. Choose whether the shipments will be picked up from the sender's address (your address) or the courier's office.
4. In the next step, you have to choose the Types of services, which you will allow Speedy to use for your deliveries.
Depending on the starting and ending point of a delivery Speedy defines which of its services to use for the completion of a certain delivery. Every service at Speedy has different pricing according to the weight of the shipment, the address and time of delivery. When you switch on more of Speedy's services, your customers will be able to see and choose which service to use for their delivery.
The most commonly used services are Economy, Express, City courier - 2days and Speedy mail.
If you have only one service set up, for example, 'Economy', and one of your customers sets a delivery address for which Speedy uses the 'City courier - 2 days' service, upon order completion, the customer will receive a message 'A Speedy service to handle your delivery was not found'. That is why we recommend that you put all or almost all services that Speedy provides.'

Expert tip: You have the ability to offer different prices and conditions for the services Delivery to an address, Delivery to an office, or Delivery to a locker.

- Fixes shipping rate calculated by the amount at the checkout manually fill in– choosing this type of service, you must fill in manually the value of the delivery you want your customers to pay according to the price of the order they complete. In the example below, all orders with a price of up to 150 euro will be with fixed delivery of 10 euro, while all orders above 150 will be with free delivery. In this case, the Speedy calculator for delivery calculation will not be taken into account to form a delivery price to your customers.

In the example below, the delivery for your customers will be with a fixed delivery of 5 euro for all deliveries that weigh up to 10 kg. and with the price of 15 euro for all deliveries that weigh between 10 kg. and 50kg.

If you turn off the button from the drop-down menu, you need to choose specific regions for delivery, which you have created in advance (in our help articles, you can learn what the geo zones and geo polygons are for and how to apply them properly).

Options before payment – from the drop-down menu, you can choose whether to allow test or opening of the shipment before payment. In the example above testing is allowed before payment. ,
Default weight for one item – if you have not added weight to any of your products, Speedy will consider the weight, which you enter in this field, to calculate the delivery price.
Default Width, Height, Depth for one item – These options are important if your products are large in volume because the delivery price will increase according to the size of the parameters.
Package type by default – The information is used to be written in the bill of lading. For example: Envelope or Carton. You can indicate several packages or cartons as well. For example: 1pc. Note that without a standard packaging (envelope, carton or piece) a bill of lading cannot be generated.
