What exactly is Shipping via bol (VVB)?

Shipping via bol (VVB) is a fulfillment method where you store and pack your products yourself, but route the delivery through bol's network. It is the alternative to Logistics via bol (LVB), where bol also manages your stock. With VVB, you keep that part in your own hands.

How does VVB work?

The steps are simple, but they demand tight processing:

1. Order comes in: a customer places an order through bol.
2. Pack it yourself: you get the product ready for shipping.
3. Label and ship: you send the parcel through a carrier that bol accepts, with track & trace.
4. Delivery and tracking: the customer follows the delivery in their bol account.

What does it give you?

With VVB you stay flexible: you choose your own packaging, your carrier, and how your warehouse runs. At the same time you benefit from bol's visibility and the trust it carries with customers. Fast, reliable delivery often translates into better reviews and repeat purchases.

The flip side: you are responsible for the turnaround time yourself. An order that leaves too late hurts your service score. That is why VVB lives or dies by your internal process.

Running VVB smoothly with ShopLinkr

The biggest pitfall with VVB is fragmentation: orders on bol, stock in your warehouse, labels at your carrier. ShopLinkr pulls that together into one central order overview. Your orders from bol and your other sales channels arrive in one place, and your stock syncs in real time so you do not oversell.

For the physical side, you pick products with a pick list that has a smart route and barcode scanning. Then you print a shipping label in one click at your carrier, such as PostNL, DPD, or MyParcel. The track & trace is sent back to bol automatically, with no retyping.
