Odoo shipping and courier integration in France
The carriers that move volume in France, and what rating, label printing, tracking and cash on delivery each one takes to reach Odoo.
Every carrier we check for a rollout in France
15 entries, grouped by what each one costs you to reach from Odoo. The badge is the whole commercial question: shipped with the product, a community module, a paid connector, or a build.
In Odoo
4 of 15Ships with Odoo. Configuration, not development.
The one shipped Odoo 19 connector that actually reaches French carriers, covering Colissimo, Chronopost, Mondial Relay, Colis Prive, Relais Colis, DPD, GLS, GEODIS and Amazon Shipping from a single integration. Odoo's own doc supports shipping from France and to any European country.
The default for French exporters sending outside the EU on a deadline. Odoo 19 ships a DHL Express connector, and its doc is explicit that other DHL services are not supported, so DHL Parcel and DHL eCommerce are a different problem.
Used from France mainly for B2B export and heavier parcels where Colissimo weight limits stop. Odoo 19 ships a UPS connector for all regions.
Present in France through its own network and through TNT, and used for time critical export. Odoo 19 ships a FedEx connector for all regions.
Paid connector
10 of 15A paid connector covers this. Licence cost sits outside our fee and is quoted separately.
La Poste's parcel product and the default home delivery choice French shoppers expect to see, in signed and unsigned forms plus Point Relais drop off. Standard delivery is quoted at 48 hours across mainland France, Monaco and Andorra.
Pickup-point network used heavily by French shoppers. Odoo ships the pickup-point picker only: rates, labels and tracking are not covered and need a paid connector or a build.
The express option for timed next morning delivery in France, with Chrono 10, 13 and 18 covering more than 25,000 towns, plus Chrono Relais and Shop2Shop. Chronofresh handles the chilled version for food sellers.
Private last mile carrier built for French ecommerce home delivery, with 51 agencies, 5,500 Colis Prive Store pickup points and 6,300 lockers, now owned by CEVA Logistics. Sendcloud notes you must bring your own Colis Prive contract.
Long running French pickup point network attached to supermarket and high street shops. GLS France acquired it in May 2026, adding nearly 7,000 relay points to the GLS network.
One of the main road parcel networks French merchants ship with for both B2B and B2C, and the first carrier Sendcloud lists for France after Colissimo. Four separate DPD France connectors exist for Odoo 19, while the free OCA module delivery_roulier_dpd_fr stops at 16.0.
96 agencies, 10 hubs and more than 10,000 Relais GLS points in France, with 24 hour standard domestic delivery and 92% of relay deliveries inside 24 hours. It serves more than 5,900 business customers and now owns Relais Colis.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
French logistics group that moves everything from a gram to a ton, so it is the name that comes up when an Odoo client outgrows parcel and starts shipping pallets. Sendcloud exposes Geodis Messagerie France, Geodis Express France and the European distribution services.
Amazon sells delivery for non Amazon orders in France and Sendcloud lists it among its French carriers. Merchants use it as a cheaper alternative to Colissimo on high volume home delivery.
Chronopost's temperature controlled service, which is the one French food and wine sellers have to have before they can ship. A dedicated Odoo 19 connector exists on the store.
Custom build
1 of 15No connector we would put in production. This is scoped, priced and built.
French shipping broker with around 30,000 active clients that resells pre negotiated rates across French carriers. Smaller French merchants use it because they cannot sign their own Colissimo or DPD contract yet.
Checked Localization notes on this page checked on 22 August 2026.
Rates, formats, thresholds and submission windows change. We configure against the rules in force at build time and confirm every figure with your accountant or tax advisor before sign-off. If a rule moves after go-live, it is a support ticket, not a rebuild. Read more on our Odoo localization service.
How we build shipping for France
The delivery method behind the list above. The same four steps on a 10-user rollout and on a multi-company programme, with the depth scaled to the scope.
- 1 Four integrations, not one. Rating, label printing, tracking and cash on delivery reconciliation are separate pieces of work with separate failure modes, and they are quoted separately.
- 2 Carrier accounts confirmed before build. Test credentials rarely carry your negotiated rates, so we validate account numbers and rate cards with the carrier before the connector is written.
- 3 No connector means we build one. Where a carrier has no Odoo integration we build against their API with retry, idempotency and stored responses, and we hand over the code.
- 4 Returns go back into stock. Failed deliveries and returns are wired to real stock moves, so inventory stays true without someone correcting it by hand every week.
What we need from you to quote it
Bring these to the first call and you get a scoped, priced shipping plan for France instead of a range.
- โ Your carrier account numbers and the rate card on each.
- โ Your top ten delivery destinations by volume, with typical weight and dimensions.
- โ Whether you collect cash on delivery, and who reconciles it today.
