How do I connect PostNL to WooCommerce?

Want to connect PostNL to WooCommerce so you can print shipping labels in one click and your customers automatically get their track & trace? PostNL is a Dutch parcel carrier, and WooCommerce is a webshop plugin for WordPress. With ShopLinkr you bring both together in one place, so your orders, shipping, and inventory are no longer scattered across separate systems.

Connecting PostNL to WooCommerce, step by step

The connection runs through ShopLinkr. You link your WooCommerce store, then link PostNL. After that, shipping is automatic.

1. Create a ShopLinkr account and connect your WooCommerce store. Your orders then come into ShopLinkr.
2. Connect PostNL as a carrier so you can create labels from ShopLinkr on your own shipping terms.
3. Process an order and print the shipping label in one click. With AutoPrint, the label comes out right away without you having to open a PDF.
4. The track & trace goes back to your WooCommerce order automatically, so your customer can follow their parcel.

Selling through more channels alongside WooCommerce, like bol, Shopify, or Kaufland? You handle those on the same orders page, with PostNL or another carrier per shipment.

Why go through ShopLinkr instead of a standalone plugin

A PostNL plugin inside WooCommerce only handles shipping for that one store. The moment you sell across multiple channels or stop wanting to count inventory by hand, you hit its limits. ShopLinkr solves that:

• Realtime inventory: your inventory syncs across all your channels, so you never sell what's already gone.
• Smart pick lists: pick lists with a logical route and barcode scanning keep the packing slip error-free.
• One workflow: whether an order comes from WooCommerce or a marketplace, you process and ship it in exactly the same way.
• Track & trace returned automatically: after you print, the shipment status goes back to the right channel with no extra step.

And it doesn't stop once the parcel ships. ShopLinkr also handles returns, gives purchase advice per supplier, and shows how you're doing in reports, from revenue and margin per product to dead stock. That turns connecting PostNL to WooCommerce into a starting point for your whole order fulfillment process instead of standalone shipping software.
