Omniva is a postal service from Estonia, operating in the Baltic states. Omniva is available for Outvio customers with warehouses in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland.
If you have a contract with Omniva, you can easily add it to your Outvio account and start shipping with Omniva.
First, you will need to log in to your Outvio account and click on Settings > My Couriers.
From the list of couriers, choose Omniva:
When you first open the courier, you are asked to enter your account credentials:
Code and Password.
Contracted clients of Omniva are assigned an account manager who will provide you with your web service credentials.
When the credentials are validated, you can start modifying your settings.
Click on Shipping Methods on the left-hand menu.
Here you can turn the courier on and off.
Under Shipping methods, choose all of the shipping methods you would like to use with Omniva. These will be the shipping methods available for your customers in your store.
☝️ TIP: You can upload and ship with your own rates with Spring. We recommend this to compare prices with couriers and see the rate for shipping.

Next, in Omniva settings, you have the option to enable the following features:
Generate pick-up: Pick-up requests are automatically generated for Omniva.
Other settings: Here you can choose the shipping labels to show order IDs instead of the order OTNs generated by Outvio.
Alias settings: In case you have more than one contract with the courier, you can set an Alias name for each contract to differentiate them from each other.
In the next menu item, you can pick all of the warehouses you are shipping from with Omniva.
Next, go to Surcharges.
In this section, the following options can be applied to all shipping methods:
Rate calculation
Cash on delivery
Insurance
Remote zone
Weight surcharge
Dimensions surcharge
Export duties
Fuel surcharge
These surcharges depend on your courier and you can add them based on your agreed terms with the courier. That way Outvio will apply most of them for rate calculation so that the system can decide which courier is the cheapest option for you.
❗️Things to note:
For 100% accuracy, you need to upload your shipping rates in the Shipping methods section
It is your responsibility to add the surcharges correctly, as well as update them if necessary if they change over time.
Fill out only those surcharges that apply to your contract.
Once you have gone through all of the above settings, you are ready to start shipping with Omniva!
