MyGLS Professional
If you ship with GLS in Hungary or nearby Central/Eastern European countries, this app prints your labels and adds a parcel-shop picker to your cart, and the developer usually sets it up for you within hours. Just know the 5-star rating mostly measures thanks for that setup help.
Should you install it?
This app is for Shopify stores that ship with GLS in Hungary and nearby countries (Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Slovakia, Czechia). It prints labels from orders and lets customers choose a GLS ParcelShop or locker in the cart before checkout. Reviewers consistently say the developer sets it up for them, customises the cart picker, fixes bugs within hours to days and builds requested features. Long-term users (1–2+ years) describe it as reliable for daily label printing and COD status updates. It does nothing for other carriers except MPL on Premium, and it has no built-in invoicing, which caused trouble for one Romanian store using Oblio on Shopify Basic. Treat the perfect rating with caution: half the reviews were written within a month of install and most praise the setup help, not months of use.
Fair evidence. 136 reviews with consistent detail and a solid core of long-tenure reviews support the fit. But half were written within a month of install, many right after developer-led setup, there are no negative reviews, and one reviewer says their 5 stars were for the support person and not the app.
Right for
- Shopify stores in Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Slovakia or Czechia that already have a GLS contract and a MyGLS account
- Stores that want customers to pick a GLS ParcelShop or parcel locker in the cart, before the order is placed
- Owners who want the developer to do the integration and cart customisation for them rather than configure it themselves
- Hungarian stores that also need MPL parcels (Premium plan)
- Cash-on-delivery-heavy stores that want delivered-and-paid orders marked as paid automatically
Wrong for
- Stores that need more than GLS (plus MPL in Hungary). No other carriers are mentioned in any review
- Romanian stores on Shopify Basic that invoice through Oblio: one reviewer hit a PII error and was told they needed a more expensive Shopify plan, and the app has no built-in invoicing
- Stores outside Central/Eastern Europe: the reviews say nothing about fit there (the single German review has no text)
- Owners who want to set everything up alone with no help: one reviewer found the integration options unclear at first
What will annoy you
Occasional bugs and setup issues come up. All reported ones were fixed quickly (the named bugs are a parcel-shop geolocation glitch and the product name missing from the label). Other reviews just say problems were solved: 9 reviews, steady, last seen 2025-12.
How the developer behaves when it breaks
Public replies are rare (9%). All of them were written between January and May 2023, to 5-star reviews, and most are generic thank-you text. On 2908 a 2023 reply sits under a 2025 edit whose text it does not match. There are no negative reviews to reply to. The one substantive reply (6615, January 2023) announced a new 'special settings' option to fix the COD-on-bank-transfer problem. Other fix evidence comes from reviewers themselves: product name on label fixed within 24 hours (0947), geolocation glitch patched in two days (3255), problems solved within hours, even in the evening (7021), a request fixed in August 2025 (1183), and issues resolved in December 2025 (8117).

Trend
Reviews have slowed: 17 in the last 12 months against 43 in the 12 months before, and none since 29 January 2026, about eight months ago. Recent reviews stay 5-star and repeat the same themes, mainly support and the developer by name. The geographic mix has widened from mostly Hungary to more reviews from Croatia, Romania and Czechia. No new failure types appear in the last 12 months. The Oblio invoicing complaint (August 2025) is the most recent functional limitation.
