Built with real-world marketplace and logistics considerations in mind—such as managing multiple shipping providers per merchant, generating shipping labels, tracking shipments and synchronising courier status—this plugin reflects deep domain experience in eCommerce fulfilment and SaaS marketplaces.

Target users: Marketplace SaaS providers using Nazmart, eCommerce vendors managing shipping, developers and agencies offering multi-tenant eCommerce solutions that require flexible courier/shipping integrations under a GPL-friendly model.

✨ Key Features

• Multiple Courier Integration: Supports courier services like DHL and ShipRocket for each tenant-store. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Tenant-Specific Shipping Settings: Each store/tenant can configure its shipping methods, courier credentials and tracking preferences separately.
• Order Creation & Label Generation: Allows direct creation of shipping orders from the Nazmart order management page, and generation of courier labels/tracking numbers. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Real-Time Tracking & Status Updates: Sync courier statuses back into the Nazmart admin/order logs so merchants and customers can monitor shipment progress.
• Shipping Cost Rules & Zones: Configure shipping cost by weight, dimension, region or flat rate per tenant; supports multi-region/multi-currency setups typical in multi-tenant platforms.
• Multi-Tenant Architecture Compatible: Designed to follow Nazmart’s SaaS multi-tenant architecture, ensuring each shop/store can use the plugin independently while maintaining centralised landlord oversight. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• GPL Licensed with Full Source Access: As an add-on under GNU GPL, you are free to customise shipping logic, integrate additional couriers or tailor workflows as needed.
