What Is LinkerCloud and How Is It Used in E-commerce Logistics?

LinkerCloud is a fulfillment management system that brings order and warehouse management together in one place.

It serves as an integration hub for e-commerce stores, connecting with store engines, marketplaces, ERP systems, invoicing tools, and courier services, including GLS.

As a result, online stores can manage their entire logistics process from a single panel and automate key stages of order fulfillment.

How Does the GLS–LinkerCloud Integration Work for E-commerce Stores?

The integration enables full automation of GLS shipment handling - from label generation to shipment status tracking. When an online shopper selects GLS delivery, order data is automatically sent to GLS, where the shipment is created and the label is generated automatically. The integration supports all GLS delivery methods: home delivery, parcel lockers, and GLS Points - in Poland and across 20 European countries.

GLS delivery also introduces a new level of shipment tracking. With the free Live Tracking service, you can see the courier on a map and the exact delivery time with up to 15-minute accuracy. This service is available for home delivery, GLS Points and parcel lockers.

What Does the GLS Shipping Process Look Like in LinkerCloud?

E-commerce stores can customize the label printing process using the Linker Print feature. It allows labels to be generated at any chosen stage of packing, ensuring they are ready exactly when needed. If a shopper cancels an order, the store can immediately cancel the shipment directly in the LinkerCloud panel.

Once the parcel is collected by a GLS courier, all status updates are automatically synchronized in LinkerCloud, including shipment tracking.

What New GLS Features Are Supported in LinkerCloud?

The integration is continuously being developed. Recent updates include support for GLS returns via the Pick&ReturnService and Pick&ShipService, available directly from the LinkerCloud panel.

How to Configure the GLS Integration in LinkerCloud?

The integration is available as a ready-to-use no-code plugin. It does not require programming or advanced technical knowledge. Stores can easily define shipment parameters, delivery options, and warehouse integrations without developer involvement.
The plugin is available at no extra cost - all integrations are included in the LinkerCloud package.

What Benefits Does Using GLS via LinkerCloud Offer to E-commerce Stores?

  • Automating the shipping process can reduce order fulfillment time by up to 30%, which has a direct impact on customer satisfaction and sales performance in e-commerce.
  • The integration minimizes the risk of errors - address data, dimensions, and shipment parameters are transferred automatically.
  • GLS remains a fully scalable solution - the integration works regardless of the number of warehouses, order volume, or product assortment.
  • Thanks to GLS’s extensive delivery network, stores can offer customers a full range of delivery options: home delivery, parcel lockers, and GLS Points in Poland and across Europe.
  • The GLS integration also supports international expansion by providing stable and repeatable shipping processes.

Why Can GLS Integration Be a Key Element in the Growth of an Online Store?

GLS offers a stable, predictable delivery network and solutions that enhance the convenience of online shopping. Integration with LinkerCloud allows stores to leverage these benefits without additional operational effort. Stores can fulfill orders faster, reduce shipment status inquiries, and improve delivery comfort and flexibility for customers.
