Allegro Delivery Pricing Templates 2026: What Changed, How to Comply

Since 22 July 2026 every Allegro shipping rate table must declare its type and dispatch country, and tables sellers did not convert were converted by Allegro. Here is what changed, what it means for your offers and how to check several accounts.

On 22 July 2026 Allegro made two fields mandatory in every shipping rate table (delivery pricing template), type and dispatchCountry, and automatically converted the custom tables sellers had not converted themselves. This guide explains what changed, what a converted table means for your offers, which rules a compliant table must meet and how to audit several accounts. GAPLI sets delivery pricing once, globally, for all connected Allegro accounts.

Key takeaways

  • From 22 July 2026 Allegro requires type (PHYSICAL or ELECTRONIC) and, for physical goods, dispatchCountry in every shipping rate table created or edited through its API.
  • Custom tables that sellers did not convert by 22 July 2026 were converted by Allegro automatically, either into pre-made tables or into the new custom format.
  • In a pre-made table Allegro sets the maximum delivery prices and the delivery options itself; you cannot edit the rates.
  • Allegro moved all tables to a model in which every next item in the same order ships for free, and removed the nextItemRate field from its API on 29 September 2026.
  • Sellers with several Allegro accounts are most exposed, because every account keeps its own tables and each one has to be checked separately.
  • At GAPLI delivery pricing is set globally and sent to every connected Allegro account automatically; the seller does not edit tables account by account.

What is an Allegro delivery pricing template?

An Allegro delivery pricing template, officially a shipping rate table (in Polish "cennik dostawy"), is the set of delivery methods and prices attached to an offer. Without one an offer cannot be listed. Each table has one dispatch country, a list of delivery methods with prices and handling times, and a limit of items per parcel.

Allegro distinguishes two kinds of tables:

  • Pre-made tables (gotowe cenniki). You choose the dispatch country and a template for your assortment, and Allegro fills in the delivery options and sets the maximum delivery prices. They meet the Allegro Smart! conditions in every marketplace and are updated by Allegro when delivery options change (Allegro: pre-made shipping price lists).
  • Custom tables (cenniki niestandardowe). You create and maintain them yourself. Allegro states it does not update them when it changes delivery methods (Allegro: custom shipping rate tables).

Through the API a seller can create up to 250 manual tables per account, according to Allegro's developer guide on account and delivery settings. A short definition is also in the GAPLI glossary.

What changed in Allegro shipping rate tables in 2026?

The change came in stages. Allegro first added the optional type and dispatchCountry fields, then made them mandatory on 22 July 2026 and converted the remaining old-format tables automatically. After that it finished moving all tables to a "next item ships free" price model and removed the old next-item field from its API on 29 September 2026.

Date What Allegro did Source
9 Apr 2026 Added optional type (PHYSICAL / ELECTRONIC) and dispatchCountry (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) fields for manual tables Allegro Developer Portal
30 Jun 2026 Announced that both fields become mandatory on 22 July 2026 and that tables not converted by then will be converted automatically Allegro Developer Portal
22 Jul 2026 Backward compatibility ended; unconverted custom tables were converted into pre-made tables or new-format custom tables Allegro announcement to sellers
26 Aug 2026 Announced that the migration to the new price model is complete: the cost of every next item in an order is always zero Allegro Developer Portal
29 Sep 2026 Removed the nextItemRate field from the shipping rate endpoints same as above

The two mandatory fields affect the endpoints for creating, reading and updating shipping rate tables. In practice this means that any tool still sending tables in the old format, without a type or dispatch country, has its updates rejected since 22 July 2026.

What is the difference between a pre-made and a custom shipping rate table?

A pre-made table trades control for low maintenance: Allegro chooses the delivery options for your assortment template and always sets the maximum allowed delivery price. A custom table gives you control over methods and prices, including free delivery, but you must keep it compliant yourself when Allegro changes its delivery methods.

Pre-made table Custom table
Who sets delivery prices Allegro, always at the maximum allowed price You
Who chooses delivery options Allegro, based on the assortment template (small, medium, large) You
Updated when Allegro changes delivery methods Yes, automatically No, you update it
Free delivery Not possible Possible
Cash on delivery Can be switched off only on allegro.pl Allowed only if prepaid payment is also offered
Smart! conditions Met automatically in every marketplace Your responsibility
Editing rates Not possible Possible

Sources: pre-made tables, custom tables.

The "large" pre-made template covers larger parcels within standard carrier limits, not oversized goods. Heavy and bulky products need separate delivery methods, described in our guide to dropshipping oversized products.

What happens to a table Allegro converted automatically?

If Allegro turned your table into a pre-made one, Allegro now controls its delivery options and prices. You cannot edit the rates, and outside allegro.pl cash on delivery stays switched on. To get your own prices and methods back, you create a new custom table and move the offers to it. Allegro does not offer a switch back.

What to check on a converted table:

  1. Delivery prices. Allegro applies the maximum allowed price for each option. Compare it with what you used to charge, because a higher delivery price can lower conversion.
  2. Delivery options. The template decides which methods appear. Methods you deliberately left out may now be on the offer.
  3. Cash on delivery on allegro.cz, allegro.sk and allegro.hu. In a pre-made table it can be switched off only on allegro.pl. If your supplier cannot ship cash-on-delivery parcels abroad, this matters.
  4. Which offers use it. Moving offers to a new custom table is a change on every offer. Deleting a custom table is permanent and requires reassigning its offers to another table first.

The pre-made tables help page lists what a seller can still change: cash on delivery on allegro.pl, personal pickup and whether an order ships in one parcel or several.

Which rules does a custom shipping rate table have to meet now?

A compliant custom table declares its type and a single dispatch country, offers prepaid payment wherever it offers cash on delivery, uses the same items-per-parcel limit across the methods in a group, and stays within each delivery method's parcel size limit. Next items in an order always ship at zero cost.

The rules, with their sources:

  • Type and dispatch country. type is PHYSICAL or ELECTRONIC; dispatchCountry (for example PL) is required for PHYSICAL (announcement).
  • One dispatch country per table. If you ship from two countries, you need two tables (custom tables).
  • Cash on delivery only alongside prepaid. To offer cash on delivery, you must first offer payment in advance (same source).
  • Items per parcel. The maximum quantity per parcel must be identical across all methods of the same parcel type (developer guide).
  • Handling time. Expressed in multiples of 24 hours (same source).
  • Cross-border groups. Some export methods must appear in both marketplace variants, for example priced in PLN for allegro.pl and in CZK for allegro.cz (same source).
  • Next item cost. Always zero; the old next-item field no longer exists (announcement).
  • Parcel size limits. Each delivery method accepts parcels only up to its own size and weight limits.

Parcel limits of Allegro Delivery methods, as published by Allegro:

Allegro Delivery option Max weight Max size
Allegro One Box, ORLEN Paczka parcel locker, DHL Box 24/7 20 kg 64 × 41 × 38 cm
Allegro DPD parcel locker 20 kg 59 × 41 × 38 cm
Pickup points (One Point, ORLEN Paczka, DHL, DPD) 20 kg 64 × 41 × 38 cm
Allegro One Courier, Allegro DHL Courier 31.5 kg length 120 cm, sum of 3 sides 220 cm
Allegro DPD Courier 31.5 kg length 150 cm, sum of 3 sides 300 cm

Source: Allegro Delivery — information for sellers. The billable weight is the higher of the actual weight and the dimensional weight (height × length × width ÷ 6,000).

Why are sellers with many Allegro accounts most exposed?

Every Allegro account keeps its own shipping rate tables, and Allegro offers no native way to share one table between accounts. A rule change therefore has to be applied once per account, and on 22 July 2026 each account could end up in a different state, depending on whether its owner converted the tables in time.

What makes multi-account setups fragile:

  • The work multiplies. Five accounts with ten tables each means fifty tables to review after every change, not ten.
  • Accounts drift apart. One account may have converted its tables manually, another may have had them converted to pre-made tables by Allegro. The same product can then ship at different prices and with different methods depending on the account.
  • Offers point at old tables. Creating a compliant table does not move offers to it. Until each offer is reassigned, buyers still see the old table.
  • Cross-border tables are stricter. Export methods must be grouped per marketplace and priced in local currency, so an error is easier to make on accounts that sell to Czechia, Slovakia or Hungary.
  • Delivery price affects commission. Allegro calculates its commission on the product price together with the delivery cost paid by the buyer (how Allegro calculates commission). An inconsistent delivery price across accounts means inconsistent commission too.

This is why manual, account-by-account maintenance does not scale. The workable approach is one source of truth for delivery pricing, applied to every account automatically.

How do you check your Allegro accounts after the 2026 changes?

Go through every account, not just the main one. For each shipping rate table, confirm whether it is pre-made or custom, that it has a type and one dispatch country, that its methods fit your parcel sizes, and that your offers really use the table you expect. Then repeat after every Allegro delivery announcement.

# Check Where Why it matters
1 Is the table pre-made or custom? Sales Center → delivery settings → shipping rate tables Pre-made tables have Allegro's prices and options, not yours
2 Does every custom table have a type and a dispatch country? Table settings or the API Tables without them cannot be updated since 22 Jul 2026
3 Is the dispatch country your supplier's real one? Compare with where goods actually ship from One table supports one dispatch country only
4 Is cash on delivery offered only alongside prepaid? Payment options of each method Required by Allegro for custom tables
5 Is cash on delivery acceptable on CZ, SK and HU? Converted pre-made tables It cannot be switched off there in a pre-made table
6 Is the items-per-parcel limit the same within each group? Methods of the same parcel type Required by Allegro
7 Do the methods fit your products' size and weight? Compare with Allegro Delivery limits Parcels over the limit cannot use the method
8 Do offers use the table you think they use? Offer list filtered by shipping rate table A new table does nothing until offers are moved
9 Do your tools still send the old next-item field? Integration settings or your developer Removed from the API on 29 Sep 2026
10 Has the review been done on every account? All accounts Each account keeps its own tables

How does GAPLI keep delivery pricing in sync across accounts?

At GAPLI, delivery pricing is configured once, globally, and applied to every connected Allegro account automatically. When the global configuration changes, the change reaches each account's tables and is sent to Allegro without the seller editing anything. The seller does not maintain shipping rate tables account by account.

GAPLI is a Polish full-dropshipping platform: the seller connects an Allegro, Erli or Aderlo account or a WooCommerce or Shopify store, and GAPLI supplies products from partner wholesalers, forwards orders, tracks parcels, issues customer invoices and settles the money. For delivery pricing on Allegro this means:

  • When you connect an account, GAPLI creates the return, complaint and warranty terms and assigns the global shipping rate tables to it (Allegro integration).
  • One configuration for all accounts. A change made globally is propagated to every connected account and synced with Allegro, so accounts do not drift apart.
  • Handling time is synced to offers automatically, together with prices and stock.
  • Tables managed by Allegro stay read-only. Shipping rate tables that Allegro manages itself under Smart! cannot be edited by any integration, GAPLI included.

How the whole order flow works, from purchase to payout, is described on How GAPLI works. Opening an account and the Start plan are free; see pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to convert my Allegro shipping rate tables myself?

Not any more. Allegro converted the custom tables that were still in the old format on 22 July 2026. You should still review the result, because a table converted into a pre-made one now has Allegro's delivery options and maximum prices instead of yours.

Can I edit a pre-made shipping rate table?

You cannot change its delivery prices, because Allegro always sets the maximum allowed price for each option. You can switch cash on delivery off on allegro.pl, set up personal pickup and choose whether an order ships in one parcel or several. For full control, create a custom table and move your offers to it.

Why do I need a separate table for each dispatch country?

Because a custom table supports only one dispatch country. If some of your products ship from Poland and others from another country, each group needs its own table, with delivery methods available from that country.

Does the delivery price change what Allegro charges me?

Yes. Allegro calculates its commission on the product price together with the delivery cost paid by the buyer. The size of the commission also depends on the category, as shown in Allegro's fee list.

Do I manage delivery tables myself when I sell through GAPLI?

No. GAPLI assigns its global shipping rate tables to every connected Allegro account and keeps them in sync with Allegro. The exception is tables that Allegro manages itself, which are read-only for any integration.
