WooCommerce 3PL South Africa
JLog integrates directly with WooCommerce stores via the REST API to provide automated order fulfillment from our Cape Town warehouse. Orders sync in real-time, we pick, pack, and ship — tracking numbers push back to WooCommerce automatically.
JLog provides WooCommerce fulfillment services from Cape Town, South Africa, with direct integration for real-time inventory sync, automated order processing, and multi-carrier shipping. Based in Woodstock, JLog offers same-day dispatch, 15+ carrier options for domestic and international delivery, and specialist handling for fragile or high-value products.
The Integration
WooCommerce ships with a built-in REST API that gives third-party systems secure, direct access to your orders and inventory. JLog uses this API to sync your store with our fulfillment platform — no plugin required, no monthly plugin fee, no WordPress admin access needed on our end.
You generate an API key in your WordPress dashboard. We configure the connection. From that point on, every new WooCommerce order appears in our warehouse system within seconds, and every dispatch triggers a status update back to your store.
WooCommerce REST API — Getting started
Order Flow
From WooCommerce checkout to your customer's door — fully automated.
Order is placed on your WooCommerce store. Payment confirmed. Status: Processing.
Our system polls the WooCommerce REST API. The order appears in our warehouse queue within seconds.
Our team picks the items, packs to spec, and selects the optimal courier via our rate-shopping engine.
Tracking number is written to the WooCommerce order. Status updates to Completed. Your customer is notified.
Multi-Courier Shipping
We rate-shop across South Africa's courier network on every single order — selecting the fastest, most cost-effective option based on parcel dimensions, weight, and delivery zone. You get carrier-grade rates without needing accounts with each courier individually.
WooCommerce Features
Variable products, bundles, subscriptions — we handle the complexity WooCommerce enables.
Each WooCommerce product variation (size, colour, material) maps to a unique SKU in our warehouse. When a customer orders a Medium Blue T-Shirt, our pick list shows exactly which bin location holds that specific variant. No ambiguity, no mispicks.
WooCommerce Product Bundles and grouped products are handled as kitting jobs. We pick each component separately, assemble them to your spec, and ship as a single package. Custom inserts, tissue paper, and branded elements can be added to every bundle.
Running WooCommerce Subscriptions? Recurring orders sync to JLog on each billing cycle automatically. Monthly boxes, quarterly replenishments, annual memberships — we fulfil them without manual intervention on your end.
Stock levels in JLog's warehouse push back to your WooCommerce store in real-time. When inventory drops to zero, the product is automatically set to out-of-stock. Low-stock alerts can trigger at any threshold you define. No overselling.
WooCommerce stores come in all sizes — from a craftsperson selling 20 items a month to an established retailer processing thousands of orders. JLog works with all volumes. There's no minimum. You pay for what you use, and pricing scales as you grow.
WooCommerce return requests sync to JLog. We receive the item, inspect it, restock if in good condition, or quarantine if not. Order status and stock levels update in WooCommerce automatically. Your customer sees the refund trigger in real-time.
Getting Started
Most WooCommerce store owners start fulfilling orders from home or a small storage unit. It works until it doesn't — until the weekends disappear, until errors creep in at volume, or until the business needs your attention on growth, not packing boxes.
The switch to JLog is straightforward. You ship us your stock, we connect to your WooCommerce store, and you start fulfilling within a week. There's no disruption to your customers — they see the same checkout, the same order confirmation, the same tracking notifications.
Transparent Pricing
Month-to-month, no long-term contracts. Pay only for what you use — scales with your volume.
All prices exclude VAT. Volume discounts available for 500+ orders/month. Carrier rates passed through at cost — we don't mark up shipping.
Based on your WooCommerce order volume, SKU count, and product dimensions.

Yes. Because we connect via the WooCommerce REST API, it doesn't matter where your WordPress site is hosted. We work with WP Engine, Cloudways, Kinsta, SiteGround, self-hosted VPS, and any other host that runs WooCommerce. If your store can send API requests, we can connect to it.
You generate a WooCommerce REST API key (Consumer Key + Consumer Secret) from your WordPress dashboard under WooCommerce › Settings › Advanced › REST API. You share those credentials with us, and we configure the connection. New orders appear in our warehouse system within seconds of being placed. Tracking numbers and order status are written back to WooCommerce automatically on dispatch.
Yes. Variable products are handled by mapping each variation to a specific warehouse SKU. Product bundles are fulfilled as kitting jobs — we pick each component and assemble before shipping. WooCommerce Subscriptions are synced as recurring fulfillment jobs on your billing cycle.
Absolutely. Many of our WooCommerce clients started with under 50 orders per month. There's no minimum volume requirement. Smaller stores benefit most from outsourcing fulfillment because it frees up time to focus on growing the business. Our pricing scales with your volume — you only pay for what you use. We're happy to onboard new stores and grow alongside them.
Once we dispatch an order, the carrier tracking number is written to the WooCommerce order via the API and the status updates to Completed. Your customer receives the standard WooCommerce order completion email with tracking included. If you use a plugin like AfterShip or TrackShip, those work alongside our integration without any conflict.
