Setting up the "Nova Poshta Integration" module

Introduction

The module automates and speeds up shipment processing and minimizes the influence of the human factor. You will be able to create express waybills, choose the payment method, control the shipping cost, view shipment statuses, find an express waybill by number and track cash on delivery. Only a few steps are needed to set up the module.
