How do I start shipping with GLS through Sendcloud?
GLS setup runs through the My contracts tab in Sendcloud, with country-specific activation steps for Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Sendcloud's pre-negotiated rates are available in select markets; in others you connect your own GLS contract.
For step-by-step instructions, see Sendcloud's Help Center article on GLS setup.
What does Sendcloud add to my GLS shipping?
Sendcloud collapses GLS's country-specific setups (Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium) into one integration. Print GLS labels in batch, route orders through shipping rules by country and weight, surface 100,000+ GLS service points at checkout, and pull GLS API tracking events back into branded customer emails. The same workflow runs your other carriers, so you can switch between GLS and 170+ alternatives per order without touching credentials.
Can I use my own GLS contract instead of Sendcloud's rates?
You have two options:
Sendcloud's pre-negotiated rates: Start shipping right away with no separate GLS account needed. Available on the Free plan and above.
Your own GLS contract: Upload your existing GLS account credentials to ship at your negotiated rates. Available on Sendcloud's Lite, Growth, and Premium plans. See Sendcloud plans and pricing.
How much does it cost to ship with GLS?
GLS shipping rates depend on the service you pick, parcel weight and dimensions, the destination zone, and whether you use Sendcloud's discounted GLS rates or upload your own GLS contract.
See live GLS shipping rates in your Sendcloud account to compare costs per service before you ship, or set rules to route shipments by weight, value, or destination. Sendcloud's discounted rates start on the Free plan; the Lite plan adds your own contract on top. See Sendcloud plans and pricing for the full breakdown.
Where does GLS deliver?
GLS delivers across 40+ European countries domestic and international. For non-EU shipments, Sendcloud generates customs documents from your order data automatically, including HS codes, weights, values, country of origin, and ICS2 compliance for shipments into the EU.
How does tracking work with GLS and Sendcloud?
GLS tracking flows back through carrier-API events for collection, last-mile delivery, and parcel-shop pickup. Sendcloud surfaces these in branded customer emails.
Can I combine GLS with my other carriers?
Yes. Sendcloud connects 170+ carriers under one platform. Switch carriers per order through shipping rules, manage all of them from one dashboard, and pull tracking from every carrier into the same view.
If a GLS service hits delays, configure fallback rules to route to another carrier so customers still receive parcels on time.
Can my customers pick up parcels at GLS service points?
Yes. GLS service points appear in your checkout when you enable them in Sendcloud. Buyers pick a GLS pickup location near them at order time, and Sendcloud handles the routing.
Can I handle returns through GLS?
Yes. GLS returns flow through Sendcloud's return portal: domestic returns and parcel pickup from the customer's address. Customers request a return through your branded portal, Sendcloud generates the label or QR code, and the parcel comes back via GLS. Refunds and exchanges follow your store's flow once the parcel is received.
