Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the POS Porter Delivery module?
This module connects Odoo POS with Porter’s delivery platform, allowing you to estimate delivery costs, place transport orders, and track deliveries directly from your POS screen — without switching between apps.
2. Do I need a Porter account to use this module?
Yes. You must have an active Porter Business account with API access enabled to connect and authenticate the integration.
3. How does this module calculate delivery price and time?
The system connects directly to the Porter API, fetching real-time price estimates and ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) based on pickup and drop locations entered in the POS order.
4. Can I use this with both Odoo Community and Enterprise editions?
Absolutely. The module is fully compatible with Odoo 17 Community and Enterprise editions.
5. Is the delivery tracking live and automatic?
Yes. Once a delivery is booked, Porter sends live tracking updates to your Odoo POS dashboard — including status changes like Pending, Assigned, In Transit, and Delivered.
6. What happens if a delivery is canceled or fails?
In case of cancellation or failed delivery, the status automatically updates in Odoo. You can rebook or cancel directly through your POS interface based on your Porter account rules.
7. How secure is the Porter–Odoo integration?
All communications occur through your Porter API credentials stored securely in Odoo. Data transmission follows HTTPS encryption standards for complete security and privacy.
8. Can I manage my Porter wallet inside Odoo?
Yes. You can view your wallet balance in real time before confirming any order to ensure sufficient balance for new deliveries.
9. Is it possible to set different hosting types?
Yes, you can choose between Self-Hosted or Hosted by Owner configurations based on your infrastructure and security preferences.
10. Does this module support multiple stores or POS terminals?
Yes. You can enable the Porter integration across multiple POS terminals under the same Odoo database, ensuring consistent delivery operations across branches.
11. Can I send delivery updates to customers automatically?
Currently, this module provides live tracking within Odoo POS. However, customer notifications (via SMS, WhatsApp, or email) can be enabled through custom integration on request.
12. What if my location is not supported by Porter?
The module works wherever Porter’s delivery network is available. If your region isn’t yet supported, contact Porter or check their coverage map before setup.
13. Can I customize the Porter integration for my business workflow?
Yes. We provide custom development and workflow optimization for businesses needing special features such as route planning, multi-vendor shipping, or custom tracking fields.
14. Is the module easy to install and configure?
No. Since it relies on live API calls to Porter servers, an active internet connection is required for estimates, booking, and tracking.
