As 2025 comes to a close, we’re excited to share our final update of the year, featuring several new features and enhancements. We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll begin a new chapter with a fresh new product name. WooDelivery will become Wodely starting January 2026. This is just a name change, and everything else you know and trust remains exactly the same.
One key advantage of this name change is that it better reflects who we are. The name WooDelivery has occasionally caused confusion for recipients who mistook us for a courier or delivery company. In reality, we are a software platform, and our customers are the courier, delivery, and logistics businesses, we should support their brand, not overshadow it. The new name Wodely is concise, modern, and better aligned with our identity as a last-mile logistics software provider, while giving our customers clearer brand independence and professionalism.
Your growth, support, and loyalty continue to inspire us every day. In 2026, we’ll roll out new solutions that make last‑mile delivery faster, smarter, and more reliable for couriers, drivers, merchants, and recipients. Stay tuned for what’s coming next. Here’s to a bright future together – see you in 2026!
1. Age Verification and ID Scanning
We’re excited to introduce the new Age Verification and ID Scanning module, a powerful new compliance tool designed to help delivery teams verify a recipient’s age at the time of handover. Drivers can now scan government-issued ID containing a PDF-417 barcode, available in regions such as the USA and Canada, using their device camera. If scanning isn’t supported in your country, the app will also allow drivers to manually input the recipient’s date of birth to complete the verification.
Administrators can enable this feature and configure the minimum required age for restricted deliveries. Dispatchers and merchants can apply age-verification rules when creating tasks, ensuring drivers are prompted during completion to verify eligibility through ID scanning or manual entry. This new feature helps businesses maintain legal compliance for age-restricted deliveries, reduces operational risk by ensuring consistent verification practices across drivers, and provides a faster, more reliable workflow through automated age verification and ID scanning.
2. Auto-populate Dispatch Address from Merchant Profile
We’re pleased to introduce an enhancement to our Multi-Merchant Extensions, designed to further streamline how merchants and dispatch teams manage deliveries across multiple storefronts. A new option is now available to auto-fill the dispatch address and sender contact details using the merchant’s store information stored in their profile. Once enabled, this setting ensures that every new task, whether created from the dispatcher portal, merchant portal, mobile apps, or through bulk spreadsheet import, will automatically populate the correct dispatch address and contact details as soon as the merchant is linked.
This improvement was one of our most frequently requested features, and it significantly reduces manual entry and speeds up task creations. By automating store-level details, both dispatchers and drivers can now enjoy a more consistent, accurate, and convenient workflow, improving both operational efficiency and the overall user experience across the platform. To enable this setting, go to the Merchant page and click the Settings button in the top‑right corner.
3. Pricing Template – Tiered Per-Unit Fee
Our Pricing Template module is designed to automatically calculates shipping fees using factors such as weight, quantity, distance, service time, and delivery zones. With recent updates, we have introduced a powerful new calculation method: Tiered Per-Unit Fee. This enhancement gives businesses greater flexibility and precision when structuring pricing rules for different order volumes or usage levels.
The new Tiered Per-Unit Fee method allows you to define multiple usage ranges, each with its own per-unit charge, enabling more accurate and scalable pricing models. For example, orders below 10 units may be priced at $2 per unit, those between 10 and 30 units at $3 per unit, and anything above 30 units at $5 per unit. This tiered structure supports more dynamic billing strategies, encourages volume-based pricing, and gives you stronger control over how shipping fees are calculated at varying thresholds.
4. WooDelivery Rebrands to Wodely
We are excited to announce that starting January 2026, WooDelivery will enter a new chapter with a fresh new product name: Wodely. This is purely a name change, everything else you know and trust remains exactly the same, including our product features, subscription pricing, product team, values, and long-term vision. Our commitment to continually improving the platform and delivering best-in-class last-mile delivery solutions remains stronger than ever.
After the name change, our website, web portal, and mobile apps will begin displaying the new Wodely branding and domain. To ensure a smooth transition, the existing web portal domains and API endpoints will remain fully accessible, with no decommission date planned at this stage. For most customers, no action is required. If any adjustments become necessary, we will provide clear communication well in advance. Our team is fully prepared to make this transition seamless and uninterrupted for all users.
