How do I connect PostNL to Shopify?

Want to connect PostNL to Shopify without retyping shipping details for every order? The fastest way is an order management system that sits in between. ShopLinkr pulls in your Shopify orders, you print a PostNL label in one click, and the track & trace flows back to Shopify automatically. Here is how that connection works and what you gain from it.

Why put a layer between PostNL and Shopify

Shopify is your sales channel and PostNL is your carrier. The part in between, processing orders and creating shipping labels, is exactly where time slips away. ShopLinkr connects both sides: orders arrive from Shopify in one place and you create PostNL labels for them right there. If you also sell through bol, WooCommerce or Kaufland, you handle those orders in the same screen with the same shipping button.

How to connect PostNL to Shopify with ShopLinkr

You set up the connection once, and after that processing runs automatically:

1. Create a ShopLinkr account and connect your Shopify store as a sales channel.
2. Connect PostNL as a carrier and set your default shipping method.
3. Set up shipping rules so the right parcel type is chosen for an order automatically.
4. New Shopify orders appear right away in your order overview.
5. Create the PostNL label in one click. The track & trace is sent back to Shopify automatically, so your customer can follow their parcel.

Don't want to click every label individually? With AutoPrint, labels roll out automatically as soon as an order is ready to ship.

What else you gain

The connection is about more than printing labels. With pick lists you walk a smart route through your warehouse, scan products with a barcode scanner and pack orders faster at a packing station. And because your inventory syncs in real time across all your channels, you never sell the same item twice: a sale on Shopify immediately adjusts the stock on your other channels.
